To prevent someone from creating 3 separate threads on worst, here is one thread for all categories.

Fighter: piranha--arrow was better than this :D
Bomber: longbow--epsecially in the WCP engine :D
Capship: Murphy--too weak :eek:
 
The worst bomber was pretty much any of those featured in Prophecy - though to varrying degrees of suckage.
 
Fighter: Tough call, but probably the Epee. Looks nice, but don't sneeze on it. Including Kilrathi, definitely the Salthi. Like the Epee, but even worse.
Bomber: Scimitar from UE. It may be rated as carrying torpedoes, hence, a bomber, but it doesn't have any!
Capship: Caernarven, big, bulky, underpowered, and underarmed.
 
Fighter: Epee. What an utter piece of crap! The only thing you can fire at the opposition in this thing is harsh language.
Bomber: Broadsword and Crossbow. No afteburners. Shields take forever to fully regenerate.
Cap-ship: Dunno. Nothing comes to mind right now.
 
Fighter: Excailbur. Too Easy
Bomber: Crossbow, Looks Nice but no Afterburners. Might as well take a BroadSword.
Capital: Ranger, One capshipmis hit to die?
 
fighter: epee...nuff said
bomber: Crossbow/Broadsword...seriously...not afterburners?
capship: Ralari...simply because it made Kursawa 2 so damn hard...
 
Fighter: Phantom
Bomber: can't really say, didn't like any of them but I think the Shrike: not really nimble/fast, not really well protected or armed
Capship: The Ralari always seemed rather pathetic to me.
 
At least the Epee can get out of the way of incoming shots, although it feels less maneuverable than the Ferret.
 
Never liked the Hellcat. It didn't really seem to fit any missions particularly well. I would rather have the Arrow when i needed something fast to engage fighters, and when i needed something more powerful i took the thunderbolt.
 
worst fighter: epee (crummy armor. I'd take a ferret or hellcat, or even an arrow or banshee instead). As far as Kilrathi fighters go, the darket, imo, was pathetic, and so was the salthi
worst bomber: crossbow
worst capship: Caernarven and Ranger.
 
Fighters: Any fighter that needs a refill of afterburner fuel, but that doesnt necessarily make them bad fighters. Just rather silly to know that a fighter can be built without the need for refueling. (BL Dragon is a fine example as well as the ships in Privateer. IMO every single new Confed figher *SHOULD* have been designed with m/am reactors) Lets not confuse "jump" vs "afterburn" either.

Bombers: Broadsword, too slow, no AB, not enough gun power for when you run out of torps and missiles. However when clusterd with 4 or more, these ships can be deadly.

Capships: undetermined. They are all good, tho a few can use some design and classification changes as well as re-evaluation of their respective assignments.
 
Epee=Crap. I remember when I first played WC2, I would play missions over and over again because I kept getting cooked in one of those death traps.
 
Well when counting only the wcgames that use polygon engines...

Worst fighter: HellCat V, I guess it must have some use.. I just never found one for it. I only used it in mission 1 from wcIII beacuse Rachel doesn't let you choose a decent arrow. I particulary disliked the beginning of wcIV where you have only the choice between a Longbow or a hellcat.. It's especially annoying that the Leading confed ace can't get his hands on a nifty excaliber or bearcat

Worst Bomber: Devestator. There is absolutely no where to run when a naughty Manta is targeting you.
Worst Capship: Everything that needs being protected I hate escort missions.
