So here's the problem with inventing new wonder tech like the Star Fortress bombers where one of them can take out a dreadnought.
In the first movie they need to go bomb a oscillator on Star Killer base. They send a squadron of X wings, who go up against what looks like hundreds of Ties and beat them up because by now we know that First Order Pilots are terrible. The X-Wings have no bombing capability, they fire Proton Torpedoes. and they fire probably a dozen shots at the techno thinging. Since we know that those Bombers had to have been at the resistance base, why would you have send that squadron of Bombers to help Bomb the crap out of that thing. I mean a dozen proton torpedo's might not get the job done, but 5 to 10000 would probably have cracked that thing open and Finn could have tossed a grenade in the smoking crater while puffing on a cigar and muttering something cool like "Its just been revoked".
So now not only is Hux and the First Order incompetent, but by not applying enough fire power Leia inadvertently send her ex husband to his death.
Or maybe . . . intentionally as this was a plot between Hux and Leia to get together.
Dum dum dah
