Why do you keep disproving your intended point?

Quote:You keep saying that this is how Flak is meant to work and this is how Solaris is meant to work and this is how the Razor is meant to work, however, you keep ignoring the fact that in application against RL bombers, even crap bomber pilots it does not work.
I tried all 3 against not-so crap bomber pilots, under 900m they are really dangerous.

Quote:Solaris needs to have extra range because sharpshooting a fighter with a razor, a mortar, a pulse turret or a primary is near impossible when you are in combat. (Yes, I used the words "near impossible" because sometimes due to sheer luck one shot manages to make contact. It is not the pilot of the capital's ship inefficiency that makes them miss.)

Solaris are mean to be deadly at short range, so that they keep bombers over that range, yes bombers can fire SNs/novas from there, but capships can dodge some half of those SNs, so the escorts they have have more than enough time to blast the bombers.
VHF in this scheme have no chance of downing the cap without bomber assistance.

If solaris don't hit at short range and flak doesn't hurt at that range, they are broken yes. That's why some changes are on the way. But range is not one of them.

Yes, very witty, if the change-log actually changed some of thing significantly, which are raised as points in this discussion.

Yes, nine hundred metres is where a capital ship may defend itself, but outside that range a six million dollar ship can send a projectile of pwnage at the 700 million dollar ship where the seven hundred million dollar ship cannot possibly return the favour.

Again, the discussion comes back to escorts, which people have said crumbles as a theory in practice. Why? Timezones do wonders to separate clans and whittle down numbers to two and sometimes a Nigel. Also, the point has been raised that one should get friends, however, nowhere does it say one needs friends to play this mod.

' Wrote:Why do you keep disproving your intended point?

Against three fighters the BS should at the very least be capable of destroying one.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

No it can't, just like modern aircraft carrier doesn't have anything to shoot over 20k away with, while bombers that attack it can fire missile from over 100k away.

Again the simple math comes back

1 BS = 1 player vs 1 Bomber= 1 Player => Bomber can't do anything at all. Advantage BS

1 BS + 1 VHF = 2 players vs 2 bombers => BS+VHF should win. Advantage BS again

Quote:Against three fighters the BS should at the very least be capable of destroying one.

3 VHFs can't ever hurt a BS at all now. Yes if they stay out of range the BS can't kill them, but they can't hurt it then either.

The reason for this is pretty straight forward, if the BS could hurt them at any range, it would be used to "hunt" fighters.

I return to this thread to simply tell Cam that you can't whore a bomber - it's not a near-unbeatable ship.

Stop calling us bomber whores. Just because we disagree doesn't mean you have the right to degrade us in such a fashion. Quit crying and get the new Beta.

Can I see a reference for this please?

Apply the same thing to a Cruiser.

Yes. I agree that the BS should be useless against fighters, however, when it comes to bombers, which can cause a lot of damage for the BS, the should not be as useless as they are now.

:lol:(Frankly, people get called "capwhores" more than others get called "bomberwhores". Continuing on that path, the reason for the nerfing of capital ships is due to many calling others "capwhores" and an over-representation of something called "capwhoring". Plodding on, you talk about crying. See if you can spot the similarities.)

Yes, nub-cake, I see the irony. Bite me. I never made any requests to nerf anything, except that one little thread requesting a mild agility nerf on the Hacker gunship, but that was a while ago.
