Gunboats balance

[mjolnir]

I understand that you are an excellent pvper Mjolnir. So try to understand that all mortals do not share your "skillz". You could probably get good results out of CSV.

Actually not..I'm fresh to GB combat.. yet on my 4th PVP I could do things like that... so the ship is not entirely balanced right?

In my experiences as an inconsistant pvper, the 2 missle loadout helps if you're up against one or two fighters. If you run into anymore than 2 players in fighters or enemy npcs start swarming you, you are toast. If you run into another gb, you are more than likely toast. Thus missles for me aren't a "silver bullet" or a "I win-button". For what it's worth, I think the infinite missles loadout is cheestastic - i.e. needs fixing. The pilot should have to buy rounds for his missle launchers, just like fighter pilots do.

Well that's your opinion... against more fighters you can surprise some of them and either insta-kill or disarm them. While still shooting your guns.... 4 or 5 vs 6 turrets does kill fighters at virtually the same speed.

About GB vs GB... the way I understand it GB is anti-fighter and anti-capship support. It's primary role is not against other GBs.. if you want to do that.. you change your loadout accordingly. It should not be... "kills everything with same loadout" that's even better than a Swiss army knife.

If the turret difference is only 1 it matters much more how you actually fly the GB. Oh ... and I did kill 2 Corsair GBs with that loadout already.. and Frozen killed a Cruiser with it as you can read a few pages back.

As a BH I have 3 choices of gb: the gs, the Orca and (with a bit of contrivence) the Liberty gunboat. Ultimately, I will go with either the gs or the Libby.

Liberty GB? Why should they use that one? If then use the IMG one.. much better RP than Liberty GB.
