Fighter Explosives (missiles + torps and mines) Poll

[Jinx]

voten yes to the damage increase to be in line with new guns and vulnerability of ships... and "no" to cargo requirement.

i have stated my reasons on the dev forum, but can do here again of course..

- cargo capacity is effectivly a nerf - ... it limits the choices of weapons and puts the missile loadout on the "bad" side. - guns are treated golden and missiles only considered a secondary weapon. it is a tendency that i do not support - cause its purely based on a subjective pov. - one could as well say "shield busters are BAD - lets make it so that you can only mount 2" - or "codenames are bad - lets make it so that you can only mount 1 or 2".

missiles are not broken - evading a good missile gunner is much easier than evading a good gunner - in my opinion, the effective use of missiles is also not skill-less ( unless one likes to blow oneself up ) - it took a long while until people found out about the effecitiveness of missiles in 4.84 - and soon, people will adept evasive tactics against missiles - so less players mount missiles.

all in all, i don t support the "nerf everything thats currently popular" fashion. - there is always something to moan about - until we all fly starfliers with justice mk1 guns ( but only 2 ) - when its not the battleships, its the bad battlecruisers - when its not the battlecruisers, its the bad gunship - then its the bad missile gunboats - then its the bad and agile bombers, then its the evil supernova - then its the unfair missiles....

the list can go on - ... evil codenames, evil shieldbusters, evil nuke mines, evil armour type 8, evil light fighters, evil ravens claw, etc.

if we nerft everything that one can complain about .. instead of reacting to it we d really end up with nothing.

one argument for the nerf was that its unfair to insta kill - but if someone jousts a missile fighter straight on, its ones own fault, - then it was said that fights only consist of dodging until the ammo is depleted ( hence, a boring fight ) - but there re so many options switch CMs on automatic, CDs.... or ... a retreat. - in the end, one does not fight what one cannot win against.

so - imo - missiles and ammo based weapons should stick to the vanilla ammo base ( either the original 50 - or the disco 70 ) - but not cargo based.
