VHF balance

[chopper]

@Dab -

The Chimaera VHF has 2,000 more armor (BD: 9600, Chim: 12,400), and almost the same exact agility, turning, etc.

Ever flown a Chimaera? Everyone who has both BD and Chimaera will disagree with this statement.
Difference in agility is big, but difference in turning rate is HUGE.
Can you somehow prove me wrong? Numbers are on our side, really.

Another thing is, Blood Dragon is very hard to be instant killed.
1 CB? Oh please, cut that, I'v flown the ship, 1 CB takes around 2/3 of hull.
It is almost impossible to be hit with a nuke mine, unless you hit it's back wing - but then it survives.
Also, due to it's size, it's pretty damn hard to SN it, impossible if pilot knows his job.
Chimaera also can't be instant killed easily, but I think it's balanced due to it's reduced agility.
BD isn't.

I'd lower it's guns to 2x8's and 4x9's. That way it would really be a HF, and a pretty damn good one.

Dab, your fight with Razr isn't really an argument. He's dodging really well.
For example, I'v been able to lower people's shields in a Slipstream with 2 Debilitators, 2 hellfurries and 2 kraken 1's.
That's 2x7, 2x8 and 2x9.

So.. Do you see the difference? Yes.. Start using shield busters.
Using 6 hullbusters (w/o razor/inferno) in 1vs1 is insane, and using this situation as an argument is even more insane.

I still have my Blood Dragon HF and I have no reason what so ever to be biased.
My honest opinion is that it needs some kind of nerf. Not a big one, of course.

Also, I would like to remind people about it's infocard. It's meant for Blood Dragons only.
Yes, I know, HG chaps made a sentence in their "faction page" about allowing that ship to be used by their allies.
It's bull.. Why? Because I'v heard soooo many times about respecting infocards, respecting vanilla or what not.
And yet no one respects it.
Use BD bombers, I don't mind. Use BD battleships, I don't mind.
But leave the damn BD HF to be used by BD only.
It's infocard states that and it should be respected by everyone.
Or change the infocard and then use it.
But like this - it makes no sense.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

Can't let you bash folks in your sig Chopper-Del
