			''An excellent bomber in FS1. Whether better at aiming with the chin guns or the tri-gun mount on the side, the Ursa is able to project the necessary firepower gun-wise to deal with assault fighters like Basilisks. Note as well that Ursas can additionally be played as anti-fighter missile boat across either game - they can carry 240 Hornets, 60 Interceptors, 96 Harpoons, or 192 Tornados. The ability to carry Harpoons, seemingly more effective for their space against lighter Shivan ships like the Dragon or Manticore, makes this preferable to the Boanerges in FS2, as does the ability to fit the Maxim to the tri-gun mount while still having the Kayser as chin guns to deal with enemy ships instead of being stuck with a single primary weapon the entire battle.''}}

	''The Ursa's high amount of shielding and armor are, however, no protection against interceptors. It is also to be noted that the Ursa's (and all bombers') turrets do not fire upon marauding ships, but rather fire upon the bomber's current target, making it useless against multiple targets.''

	~~''This is the bomber of choice to go against large destroyer-type targets, unlike the Boanerges. If the mission defines the Boanerges as the default, switch over to the Ursa if it is available.''~~
