when you put a Carrier bay on any ship, what determines whether it builds missle bombers or torpedo bombers?

in the research screen, you can research torpedo heavy bombers or Heavy Missle bombers. but which one are the bombers of the carriers and what determines which one it builds?

I just want the heavy bombers..

The computer will use the most advanced type of bomber currently available. There is a number associated with each bomber in fighters.txt which determines how advanced the bomber is, but in the unmodded game the rule is more or less that all bombers unlocked by techs in the same tier are equally advanced, and bombers unlocked by techs in higher tiers are more advanced than bombers unlocked by techs in lower tiers. I believe that when the computer has to decide between equally-advanced bombers, it chooses the one defined first in fighters.txt, which in the unmodded game will always be a torpedo bomber.

The game is hard coded here. You will always get a 50/50 split between fighters and bombers....GP

Unless you manually build them, which is a tedious pain in the ass since you have to click on each individual ship..

Right ok thanks,

I understand that there will be 50% fighers and 50% bombers..

I want to know how to just have the 50% bomber part be just Heavy missle bombers..

I guess I would just unlock the Missle bombers for carriers research and then the computer will build the fighters and "missle" bombers..

Ok I think I got it.
