ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Advanced Targeting Computer

Strengths:

• The Targeting Computer has been upgraded from the original Hydra Bomber Model, and thus makes its bombing runs more accurate
• The Bomber has also been upgraded to go faster and have better maneuverability, making Anti-Air defenses have a more difficult time shooting down the Bomber

Weaknesses:

• The Bomber will require Fighter Escort if taking on a heavily armed location or cruiser, making it a target to pick off if its alone, or without proper escort.
• If the payload is hit before its dropped, it could instantly explode, destroying a good deal of things around it, or even set off a chain reaction if its around other bombers of its class.

Description: With the Development of the Hawk Fighter, the need for a Bomber was also brought up, as the Battle Cruiser Grievous II wanted would need a lot more than just fighters to defend it. So the plans for the Leopard Light Bomber was made, designed to bomb lightly defended areas and small Corvettes. The Ship is faster than the Hyena-Class Bomber that it is based off of, along with the targeting computer being upgraded to make it more accurate and precise than its Clone Wars Counterpart.
