SHF- Super Heavy Fighters

[Tenacity]

You know full well it's easy to stay out of a SHF's cone of fire in a smaller fighter. If you're attacking a SHF from the front you're not doing it right.

Alright, let's do some quick maths. Look at the degrees per second turn rate of a VHF and of a SHF and get back to me. There's no reason why anybody needs to be in front of the cone of fire of a SHF.

You have a point, but there's a counterpoint: Combat (especially snub combat) in this game doesnt just involve turning. From a pure mathematical standpoint, yea, a VHF (or lighter) should easily be able to outmaneuver any SHF. But you also have to take into account engine killing, stopping on a dime to make the enemy overshoot, etc. Because they get out-turned, SHFs in a snub fight have to force a joust by EK'ing away from the attacker and turning around (of course, cruise disruptors will ruin that SHF's day, but everyone and their mother runs sidewinders on their snubs nowdays because who needs skill, right?)
