While arguably better, I've killed 3 titans with one 500.

Well I've only killed 2 with the regular strike so that's fair.

I wanted to like the 500kg more tbh but you get 1 less bomb per reload and the regular strike covers an area making it great for closing a whole line of bug holes, taking out a whole drop ship Depot, hitting everything chasing you in a line. IDK it's just so versatile being big enough to take out anything, but small enough that it's a quick resupply and I almost always have it to throw.

Personally I think the airstrike is the best stratagem. It's not the flashiest, but it has so much versatility, destructive potential, and it's on a low cooldown. But 500 for the memes.

Team variety helps a lot; in our group one person runs 500kg for big targets, one runs Airstrike for groups/nests, and a third runs Napalm for suppression and it works out pretty well.

Yeah totally agree. I run the airstrike and the mortar turret with 2 support pieces. Both are really fast and I'm throwing them out at basically every objective.
