a small change in more things might work a bit yes......
but I still think less armor is a better idea than less bots
Otherwise we can agree that we disagree :) Blunt is right

' Wrote:...... As it is now, even the best shooters can't do enough damage on the avarage VHF targeting others. Only head on passing can do the job, and that is applicable mostly in duels, and makes capships EXTREMLY wounerable.
.......
Imagine, if bombers and fighters would have to fight for their lives when engaged by capships escorts, instead of considering them a minor nusiance
And still this is not true....
Razr wrote it here already... [rant] I can hit fighters targeting others without big problems, try to come to rheinland in a bomber and consider Krupinski a minor nuisance :)[/rant]
Also fighting is not all about VHFs.... other classes play an important role especially support situations....try a Crow or any LF in a more vs more battle and you will see...
they never get targeted... because they are hard to hit... and are not considered a big threat..... but they can stay on their target all the time keeping it's shields down with ease (with 2 adv/imp. debilitators) leaving it open to damage from all sources.... and slowly wearing it down with their guns too
---------
example... I had a long fight with QCO in my Kusari bomber
first it was: 1 Bomber and 1 LF against me.... the LF was keeping my shields down most of the time... but I still was able to do more damage to the bomber than I was getting (note that the Bretonian bomber is really not agile compared to Kusari and I had Mini + Supernova, hitting with the Mini every time the bomber tried to joust me... so he started to fly around instead and didn't get to shoot at me at all)
then 1 more LF joined:.... my hull was going much faster than on the other bomber and I could never kill the LFs as they knew their job.... so I started to thrust away....
2 more LFs joined:... when I tried to turn and shoot on the bomber my shield was down at once and hull going down too (while I was dodging the best I can)
------------- So if you need to support others in a big battle.... get a HF/LF
