Cruiser Balance

[mjolnir]

light mortars are useless on cruisers. They take too much energy, and at that kind of range you cant even hit another cruiser with one. The only target you'll be hitting is a battleship that isnt moving.

Oh really?

I have one on my dessie.... that has a 20vs0 cruiser kills score... and I do hit cruisers just fine. I also made 2 BS ran after they lost all shieldbatteries while I lost nothing. Well yes the Kusari Dessie is most agile.. but it can't fire backwards.In normal cruiser you can thrust/strafe and shoot your guns from rearview, the BS/BC can't close up since they don't have thrusters.

Oh and I also have some 6 bomber kills by the Light Mortar, 5 of them are catamarans and 3 of those are with the best dodger around at the stick.

Normal turrets might be good for sustained fire , which you mostly don't get opportunity for when you fight against GBs.

Also as was written normal turrets have 2k range while mortar has 3.5. From 3k you have no problems hitting large battleships while they can't hit you.
