How many bombers would it take to kill a BS is 5 seconds?
A ballpark figure of 20 bombs is enough to wipe a BS fleet. Exact number of course depends on what kind of BSes and what fits.
Actually its quite a bit fewer than that.
A bomb does betwen 6500 and 8000 ALPHA damage depending on skills and if i remember right you can get up to 6 bombs in a single wave (all the same type!!). that equates to 39000 to 48000 Alpha.
So if a standard fleet mael has about... 90,000 effective hitpoints? 12 bombers, 2 full waves, would be over kill and overkill to every battleship within 15k of the pop.

great article, thanks for linking that, questions though, last night i shot a bomb from under 30k at a domi and then warped off, i recieved a combat log that said i hit him for 0.0 damage.
Am i supposed to launch bombs from under 15k? what is the optimal range to launch a bomb from?
Ok, effectively, if you warp off before the bomb detonates it will do no damage. Therefore, you need to stay on scene, effectively orbiting your target until your bomb hits.
Nope sorry this bit is wrong. A bomb will still do full damage if your on grid or not.
The likely reason for this is that the bomb hit an npc station or a gate, this has been know (tho i have never come accross it myself (yet)) to mitigate all damage.

other option is some changes happened because year ago i tried bombing BS near station. I droped bomb and warped out. Received message about non-zero damage to station.
was it a pos? cos u can damage them n it works fine

it was a station. i remember how we warned in local "don't undock for a few minutes. Some idiots are playing with bombs near undock!" 
Sorry i ment a player made station  only an npc station stops a bomb
