Nuclear mine balance

[Its Raisu]

Flying LF's and HF's means you have the uncondicional advantage of using speed + good guns and most of the times decent powercore. Only skill actually needed in flying them around is to evade mines. If you nerf mines to the point you can't instakill them with 1 mine you'll just create (another) unbalanced setup that everyone will use so VHF's the masterclass will probably get yeeted by the time. I'm just using common sense here, no calculus and other stuff.
Pro tip: You can insta LF's with a snac!

This would do better in its own thread specifically for LFs, but since iv said my opinion on nukes and that remains unchanged at the moment, here goes...

I kind of feel like "the unconditional advantage of using speed" is missed when flying an LF considering that their ability to move is identical to HFs and VHFs and they only have a real "advantage" in their ability to turn.

Just as an example using one of the slowest snubs (without going into bombers) and a :

• Collector has a max angular speed of 62.6 -- 180 degree turn in 2.88 seconds.
  
• Surveyor has a speed of 79.45, Liberator 84.03 -- 2.27 and 2.14 seconds respectively.
  
  These times are actually a bit faster than what is really experienced due to acceleration time to reach that max angular speed.
  Surveyor and Collector reach their maxes somewhat around the same time. Liberator takes a little bit longer.
  

This is roughly a difference of... about 3/5ths of a second for a 180 degree turn, less for shorter turns. Add to that the: More Hull (even before Armor), Heavier FIrepower if the shots land, Stronger shield, not even considering mines here yet and its quite an uphill battle to be honest... even if you are trying to avoid jousting.

You just about have to constantly CD your target to really make use of that turning advantage since you lack a real speed advantage.
