Battleship Weapons

[Nika]

I am inclined to concur with majority of this evaluation.

The battleship pulses. The biggest disappointment. With it's range decrease, it is just a throwaway weapon and an absolute waste of a slot, surpassed by practically any generic primary turret. That's not to mention all the heavy turret options that give the battleship it's main means of survival - range, now that it's strafe and health combined are a proper kick in the guts for the class.

The further you are from your opponent - the better. The more ships screening for is between you and the hostiles - the better.

Have I somewhat adapted to these changes? Yes, somewhat. But the combination of changes to battleships that are now live made them a very situational and generally an undesirable class in combat as practically any smaller capital ship class can do all the same but better. Battlecruisers especially, that are hilariously overtuned for capital ships combat as of the moment.

So I am still left in a bitter combination of general confusion and mild disappointment about what was done to my favorite ship class. It still is, but for 95% of situations I'm more inclined to take a cruiser or a battlecruiser because it will just do the job better.

Maybe they will not get their 5.1 strafe back (while that would've been preferrable), but there absolutely should be no cases when battleships' HP is so low cruisers are barely falling too far behind, and majority of battlecruisers surpass even dreadnoughts in that regard.
