Missile reaction time

[wrathkin]

Of course the gunship can hurt the bombers - that's why I listed it as a soft counter.

I would rather make gunships slower and/or less maneuverable and/or more expensive, to make them less attractive as general purpose craft, then take away them as a hard counter to fighters.

In my opinion, the gunships should be a support craft for capships, with the possibility of using for fighter/bomber support where 'proper' capships cannot go. In the rock fields, the gunships should be the top dog at least until a full wing of bombers come around.


To up them in price won't do that much, but lower speed and agility would discourage overuse of them.
Also, I think all capships need to be _very_ vulnerable to bombers - but I have not flown either bomber nor capship, so I don't know how much this is already the case. I think that two bombers should have about equal odds against a gunship - both able to hurt the other, none having any real defense against the other. Soft counter, as I said. I also think a lone BB, BC or CA should have only limited chance to survive any bomber attack (freak hit kind of thing).
