Nope. Got a gunboat. Still not set up my Hussar or Challenger again.

Well we got gear etc, no problem to help you

I will refrain from swearing....

we had 4 Chimaeras... one of which had lvl 8 shield and no armor...

and you bring 4 ships + a GB with 7 Missile turrets!!!!!

Against all vanilla ships?



That's as low as it's going to get....

I stopped using the bomber quite some time ago since the hitbox is not really nice to enemies... and I was raping some people quite bad... and this is what we get back?

Whatever, fight with yourself if you wish then...

One) I was testing it. It was unfortunately even better than I expected. I apologised to the leader of the attack force for the imbalance.

Two) I'm sure it had six missiles...

Three) You did a fair amount of damage to the gunboat, actually.

Four) Bretonians need something to counter Kusari fighters. I've always suggested Hussars, but they are needed in swarms of well-trained Light Fighter pilots, pilots which are very hard to find.

CENSORED....

when we suggest to fight at the Tau 31 JH where both sides have NPCs and KUsari ones have good guns to compensate it was denied... and you picked a sector with only bretonian ones...

and don't play***** after all the screaming about missiles lately..

go and freaking test them with you mates in Salisbury...

Sorry I couldnt make it... movies do that to me I guess.

That looks horrific, actually. However, to be fair, Xenos face multiple gunboats loaded out similarly. Regardless I will still dig a bit on this.

Just cus you cant fly, dont cheat on those who can, mkay? Quick ways out never work, and there really is no substitute for skill...

And a little adendum. Please do not "test" things, otherwise you may find that you force changes in how bombers are alotted in the KNF. Of course, thats nothing to do with me, but Catamarans are very good right now, no?

Besides, none of those are justifications. Test imbalanced things like that amongst friends, not in a real battle.

All that combined, I think people know where I stand on the Bretonia-gunboat-pretending-to-be-Liberty-indie-gunboat issue.

Against the Chimaeras there?

Come on, it was a tactic that needed battlefield testing. Against Dieter in his captured Chimaera, it didn't prove so good. It needed a battlefield test. It proved unfairly good.

In fact, taking Sunslayers instead of cruise disruptors caused the KNF a lot of hassle there. And I normally hate Sunslayers if Im in a fighter.

You would think that the gunboats doing that to the Xenos, forcing them to almost ditch completely the Eagle, and switch to a majority bomber force, is enough of a battlefield test, wouldnt you?

I could counter that by saying 'Templars losing all the time' is a good test too.

I'm not buying the idiot testing excuse in any way.. there are tons of way how to test it.. not to mention that just about any fighter pilot around screaming about them...


guess KNF should "test" Bombers only next time...

or 2 GBs with full missiles backed by 2 Kusari Dessie with Cap 8 and a few missiles as well.


EDIT: Templars backed by Hussars can do quite well.. and lately the fights were basically equal everytime... but wait...you have not been in any fight since some 4 months ago...
