Cruiser Balance

[El Nino]

I did some solos in a red cat against cruisers, with oorp equipment back in my days... with inferno + SN it's quite easy untill the cruiser stars running away... Then you can kiss your victory goodbye. Almost all victories I can contribute to the inexperienced pilots that fly cruisers. Their mistakes turn down to:

-flying in rear view, like a fighter.
-not flying at all (staying still)
-jousting a bomber (lolwut)
-firing infernos + mortars + primary turrets all at once
-inability to strafe

If a cruiser pilot does these:
-chainfires
-moves+thrusts at 140 speed
-fires in turret mode
-strafes out of the way when SN comes packing

I'd doubt he'd get killed by a single bomber. Two easily, but solo? No way...

Hell I could take down bombers in Parchenons... with only 5 transport turrets... while cruisers are packing heavy cruiser turrets...

So once again the age old problem of noobs in cruisers kicks in. If you learn how to fight before you become a cruiser captain you'll be good in a cruiser, if you only know how to trade before you become a cruiser captain you'll suck utterly...
