Cerb nerf had nothing to do with snub/capital balance, so I don't understand why people keep bringing it up in relation to "muh anti-cap conspiracy". All that nerf did was make primaries more important, diversify people's heavy choices and prolong the length of actual fights, which is a good thing.

The problem with the TS is that it allows for a lot more maneuvers while firing. It is not just switching the control device. You can shoot while rolling, pulling up and if you set it up well you can even strafe. That makes especially gunboats who do that well, nigh unhittable and I believe that is one of the reason why they overperfom so well.
On a Battleship the advantage is getting smaller since it only bothers long range fire which is usually only coming from other Battleships.
On a cruiser it is only really problematic for other cruisers and Battleships(I tried hitting a well turretsteering Scylla, which is very small. It didn't go well)
On a gunboat it starts becoming ridiculous since all ship types suffer. And again the smaller the ship the worse it gets. I don't even bother shooting Defiants anymore if I don't have a bunch of snubs ganking it. That sounds like a bad solution though.

It allows you to do the maneuvers that were designed by game developers.
But snubs can do this too. Everyone is equal here.

In every way. Unless the snub is AFK you're not going to hit it with cerbs. Especially not from the pre-nerf higher ranges of like 2.5k+, lol.

I've hit many snubs with Cerbs. Though, it was cerbs with prims.

so what else can a trans/gb mount then, cerbs/charons are mounted because we never know what a trans might come up against, bombers can wreck BS in 5 seconds (hellfires), cruisers can destroy trans easily and so on, even a small "boxing" fighter can wreck a trans with turrets, because thats the games mechanics
so without ts/tz at least a trans or a gb, from different angles can at least try to defend itself
if ts/tz was gone, pointless having transports and even GBS, they will be easy pickings from the type of "i must have a blue, hehehe they got no ts/tz now" fighter/bombers
no one would fly them

He actually got a point here.
