lol caps can't CD bs's cruising up on them when they're kiting

Why not?

For clarity, the changes to Hornets are, TL;DR'd:

• Top speed increased to 1,000; now accelerates at 125 m/s^2 instead of 37.5 m/s^2
  
• Increased turn rate: 120 degrees/s -> 225 degrees/s
  
• Increased detonation distance / proximity fuse: 3.5 meters -> 15.0 meters.
  
• Launcher no longer rotates 90 degrees.
  

Given that CDs have 180 degree FoVs and always track without fail, launching forwards changes nothing about their ability to be launched at ships behind the user. On top of that, they're now faster and more importantly accelerate to their top speed much faster, so they can close the gap to pursuers faster. Obviously a near doubling of turn rate also helps with that. Do you have a video of Hornets struggling to stop people from cruising up?
