Battleship weapon changes.. - mjolnir - 06-02-2008

Yet when they get a swarm of ~100 missiles bearing down on them it's not really that simple, sometimes even a single one is a problem - hence Falklands (Sheffield), USS Stark, or if you read Red Strom Rising...
Main defense is always the aircraft, without them there is a very large chance they get toasted.

Tenacity read it right, ANY shield in one shot, kill anything except a BS in one shot on hull also. With 500m blast you can simply fire them and blast them yourself to get the effect.

Get a battleship's shields down and that thing would destroy it in one shot, even with armor upgrades.
It'd also one-shot every fighter and bomber in the blast radius, and 500m isnt exactly a 'small' area.
Nope. It would get BBs shields down. And it wouldnt kill fighters, it would only take their shields down.
Also we are talking about upgradeing BBs hull by x10, so it would take out about 7% of their armor.
So it would be used for takeing out their weapons.
Also BBs hull is about 200-500 m wide, so the fighter would have to be inside 400m of the right side of BB.
Also it would probably take out some friendly fighter at 5-6k fight.
Oh and for 1hit at other then BBs... Did you ever see a 120m cruiser survive a nuclear warhead that hits directly at it?
Yeh... Maybe if it was made from a 100% diamond...

if BS hull is upgrade by X10...gun turret's armor should x10 too....

That still doesnt stop you from firing the weapon and detonating it yourself in order to blast every fighter in the area for a million points of damage.
Superweapons are bad, the supernova cannon is bad enough atm, we dont need anymore.

And how would you detonate somethin that travels at 2000m/s? With a magic wond?

better question would be how do you AVOID something moving that fast.
2000m/s is faster than any current projectile, laser or missile, in the game. At that speed you could hit someone 1000m away before they even had a chance to react, no matter what size of ship they were flying.
No more superweapons, please.

Yes, but if u missed you would lose a couple of mils.

when nearly everyone here has an alt with an advanced train that can make upwards of 20 million credits in a few minutes, money isnt going to discourage people from using a weapon that powerful, especially when your chances of missing are very low.
