It's not too late to fix Caps

[Antonio]

Thunderer has access to many kirks. The Sovereign, the Thunderer, the Dauntless. He didn't have to pay for them. Other people have to, they can't bring their battleships depending on the situation. What you suggest it people making anti-snub battleships for the case of them being needed in case of them getting attacked by snubs!?

[Insert your favourite Tom Cruise laughter meme here]

That's not how battleships work. You don't make a battleship and equip it with anti-snub loadout IN CASE OF THEM ATTACKING THE CAPITAL. Why the hell would you even log that? Only for the very rare team fights where one side sends in more snubs against the side that has more battleships? Since when do people do that? They'd simply switch to snubs as well. No, battleships are to be used to cause damage in great amounts. Usually against other capitals and PoBs, but less often against cruisers because of in this thread mentioned issues and almost never against gunboats or snubs. Anti-snub capitals are either something an absolute lolwut would log to get cheap blues or something you log in pre-planned event fights where that is a legit role. Otherwise, brining a capital with AS loadout would be the biggest waste both of money and potential in a fight. That is how the community currently works. It's like saying the pope could technically have intercourse.

No silly, you use razors mainly against gunboats. Gunboats participate in cap fights often, and the only reliable counter to them are razors. Of course they're strictly a defensive weapon. You can't really chase something that's faster than you and decides not to fight you. However, if you start getting shot by a couple of gunboats and even bombers, will you suddenly not use them or what? What kind of logic are you trying to apply here? Remove razors, solarises and any anti-gunboat and less weapon in the game? Because that's what you're saying from the thread. "You shouldn't use anti-smaller classes loadout so they shouldn't exist. How dare you use them!!!" How the hell are you supposed to do -anything- against bombers and gunboats then exactly?

I have a feeling you missed the part where even if you mount razors, you are still very useful against caps with 1 mortar and primaries (in the Dunkirk example). You don't actually lose that much against caps while having great defense against smaller things. It's actually surprising people don't use them more with the mortar meta not requiring more than 2 heavies occupied. Although I guess that'd disappear with old cerbs coming back.
