VHF balance

[Dab]

Werewolf: Completely agree with you there.. Needs agility to be equal to Titan, and a class 10 to replace the 9 (like Wraths have). Its really easy to hit, so the 16,000 armor needs to stay.


Stinger: Hitbox needs fixed, yeah. Though it isn't as bad as people make out.. The hitbox' wings are just a bit forward of the normal wings. So your hitting just as much as you would if it had a good-fitting hitbox.


Virage: Agree with all but the turning/agility. I bought the Virage once, wanted something that few others used, yet still fit my character.. I sold it after about 15 minutes.. Flew from Kappa to Alpha and then back to Theta.. Then sold it. Beyond horrible handling. It literially felt like a brick. Like I was flying a Dromedary.


Ravenclaw: Agree.


BD HF: Doesn't need a big change.. Its already got pretty low armor (I'd suggest just lowering the armor a bit, 600 or so.). First; The Chimaera VHF has 2,000 more armor (BD: 9600, Chim: 12,400), and almost the same exact agility, turning, etc. Lowering the guns would make it completely useless. Ask Terrance. We went head-to-head. His Sabre with Inferno against my BD without an inferno. I didn't have the firepower to drop his shield, he did (even without the inferno, Krakens..). The agility is the only thing that keeps the BD alive. Its a vanilla hitbox, so missiles kill them pretty well, its got less armor than the Eagle (BD: 9,600, Eagle: 9,900). In fact, it has the LOWEST armor value of every VHF in the game, except the Hammerhead, which isn't a class-10 gun/shield ship (level 8 and 9 guns).

Its agility isn't so much that it deserves a weaponry decrease. The Chimaera definitely needs an armor decrease.. 2,000 more armor for an unnoticeable change in agility. I'd say around 10,600 armor (or 10,000 if BD is reduced to 9,000) so that it has only 1,000 more armor than the BD. Those two are almost identical ships, except for the armor..


Sabre's defense is strafing.. Thats how it stays alive. But yeah, 75 is low. I'd say making it about 100 mass would be better, so it still keeps its strafing advantage, but isn't below LF level.
