Gunboats Vs Destroyers or crusiers

[Tenacity]

I have only this to say, IF a Gunboat wins against a Battlecruiser or Destroyer, in a fair one on one fight, it's because the GB pilot has a better mastery over his or her ship than the Cruiser/BC pilot.

Simple as that, it's the pilot that makes the difference, not the ship.

or because his ship is that much better =P

I could take out outcast and rheinland cruisers with my kusari gunboat fairly easily, just because it was that small and manuverable, and the forward gun took care of them easily enough.

Bounty hunter gunships are even smaller and more manuverable than that, and I know there's several out there who have taken on cruisers / battlecruisers alone with that ship just because they're next to impossible to hit.
