GB forward guns

[mjolnir]

I guess I should have called this: "How to make the slow and useless GBs competitive"

I would say that GBs with forward guns should be meant as anti-capship and are therefore slower (RH, Bret etc..)

Without are either universal - Corsair, or Anti-fighter - IMG, Rogue



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I do fly quite a few GBs with forward gun and quite a few without it... in multiplayer against players.

And I would trade the forward gun for a normal turret hardpoint against any target ANYTIME without thinking. The short range and low damage per shot is just not worth the very problematic ship positioning. This is especially true for the sluggish and big gunboats.
