Are massed Sprayers not viable?

But that's just like a cheap way to use bombers on AET areas.
Pretty sure I'm supposed to be banned, someone might want to get on that.

Bombers are better used as "beachead escorts" in that they lay a patch of AC where you likely plan to land a force of PC's, Mortars, Snipers, and especially Guppies.

Sprayers both deploy constant AC to frontlines and stockpile extra AC nearby for ore deposit substitutes.

What you are talking about is what my idea prevents being necessary in the long run. If Sprayers were able to send all of their Ac back to CN's, the extra AC would not be as much of a negative liability as they currently can be.

Or maybe he should implement a "dump all AC" feature so that we don't have to waste a sprayer to drop AC on remote areas.

If that were done, there would be no point to having a shooting nozzle on the Sprayer.

I much prefer saving my ac for bombers. Great for forward striking especially if you're planning a landing party with guppies and mortars etc.

Well AC is a support feature mixed with offensive weaponry. In your case, I think it does indeed get more bang for the buck; Bombers are relatively superior to Sprayers in that regard.
