Coalition GB is so bad plz make it better

Kill fighters with other fighters or gunboats.
Kill bombers with fighters or gunboats.
Kill gunboats with other gunboats.
Kill caps with other caps or bomber spam.
Or just kill everything with gunboats.

From personal experience I say 3-4 full Cerberus or Cerb/Pulse gunboats are perfectly capable of taking down a battleship. (nerd)

I don't know where do you both live, but sole gunboat is in danger if there are three fighters (preferably with codes) against it.

I don't know where you live, but if you need at least 3 good players in order to kill you, then isn't that very good? I mean, what would you think it would be normal? To have a 5v1 in order to have good chance to get killed? Perhaps call the entire server?

Edited out, my standard didn't-read-but-will-reply-nevertheless kicked in.

Also, that 5v1 to be sure you get killed is actually somewhat true in case of gunboats, but that purely depends on players' skill.

Truth is always somewhere in the middle. However, it is in the players' hands on what and who will bring something.

I mean, even if we balanced everything out, there is always other factor: skill. If we made a battle between veteran and newbie player, both bearing same stuff and same equipment, the battle is already won by veteran player and no balance will help unskilled player. Maybe some luck or minor lag spike. Same for "balanced" 2 vs 2, which actually may be felt like 5 vs 2 combat in extreme cases.

TL;DR we can't expect balanced fights if skilled player is clashing the beginners.

wtf coalition gunboat are so good what are you talking about

this.

Even me, someone who is horribru at pvp, managed to brawl with 2 bottlenoses for quite a while in a coalition GB (with just coalition GB prims) and did surprisingly well.

So, Coalition GB is stronk. learn to fly it.

Id be more concerned about the bottlenose pilots

Hate to agree with fluffy here, but seems people want to Tank cat in a battle and win.

Turret view has a fantastic counter. (hint: you're in space)

SCRA gunboats are not the most powerful things out there, but players don't all have the same skills. Each craft requires a different flying style.

I kept on dying on the freelancer Kusari gunboat until I found out it was my fault. I was dying against bombers and having to run from VHFs. Then I got so good people swore I was cheating, when I just got a lot better at the ship and its limits.

I really think that helps because people do normally default to powering through and not picking targets and learning how to frustrate the other player to making a mistake. Loadout helps a lot too. I learned that from heavier transports.

I'd fly into Connecticut with the scra ship and practice. You'll like it after a while.
