Lets improve the gameplay between the Hessians and the Corsairs

[Laerethe]

Not true. It's not an exponential increase, it's the linear increase.
Exponential, is where 6 bombers dealing 4-6 times more damage then 3 bombers, due to overcoming FLAK defense.
6 Bullheads will deal 3 times more damage then 2 bullheads, to a battleship/cruiser. Unless they spam missiles, but I noticed that as of late we're more often getting into close brawl, then missile trolling.


Well, use secondaries when they're under you. I've noticed secondaries are very good against gunboats. And once you put a solaris cruiser with some support on the tail of the gunboat, even Vendetta|RR goes down after some time. ;)



Novaspam makes us die. Die Horribly. Without any possible "standart" counter. We're working on it, without dropping the agenda of the faction - i.e. maxed amount of BH/Threshies. That's why you saw Phobos teamed with few fighters. We came up with something, but didn't have time to field it, yet.

But another thing with caps, is that with almost zero training, but good cooperation you can do way more, then with fighters. That's another reason why we love capital fights so much - even completely new guys can be very effective on the field after 20-40 mins of training. Unachievable in fighters.

As for warnings, well, usual idea is to kill as much as possible before novaspam comes in and kills us all. When Gamma was active, we even had to deploy guerilla luring tactics to split hostile forces, that many corsairs, surprisingly, fell for - otherwise we didn't have a single chance.
But it's indeed possible, sometimes. I can discuss that with guys.



Before commenting on that I'd like to see how it turns out on the field, first. Too bad I missed out Hessian raid yesterday.
For example, they don't quite manage to pull that out in the Rheinland/Omega 11 against |2te|, due to some reason. Would be interesting to see the difference. (although there's indeed no Omega 41, fully covered with asteroids on that battlefield)

Still, the damage is that of 3 or so Osiris with more agility and less chance to evade. Its a little exponential because fire can be avoided from 1/2 battleships, but not from 4/5 cruisers.

Turret steering means that secondaries don't hit if they are even 500/600m away; its more noticable on transport turrets, but cruiser basics and battleship secondaries suffer too.

Yes, novaspam makes you die, but there weren't many bombers on that occasion, as far as I could see. If you are going to capspam, I don't think you can really complain that a bunch of bombers get pulled to try and counter you.

They can be effective, but rarely against skilled snubs. Against other caps, definitely.

How can you find it fun to gank one or two guys and not get a proper fight? Its much more fun to get a proper fight then gank a couple of snubs or gunboats, at least in my experience.

Exactly.
