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.
are you saying that there are razors to be mounted on battleships? I know wiki is outdated, maybe that's why I could not find about BS razors, but they do exist? Where can I find some info about that, without going to Virginia (for Liberty BS)? Maybe that's why nobody uses them, people don't know they exist...
