Tech Room Data
A second-generation Synaptic bomb, this GTI-developed cluster warhead has been designed for attacks against entire wings of enemy ships.
Upon reaching its target, the primary warhead fragments into multiple secondary warheads that explode within a split second. The detonations produce a large field of blast field, making the cluster bomb most effective against fighter formations.
Veteran Comments
Like the GTM Infyrno the Cluster Bomb is difficult to use, unlike the GTM Infyrno the Cluster Bomb doesn't do a lot of damage, even when you get it right, because of the tiny damage caused by the "Cluster Bomb Baby" in Freespace 1 (see:Weapon Comparison (FS1).)
