Capital Ship Point Defense

[El Nino]

Hahaha, that's all i can say to this, Seeing how I have a lot of 4.85 battle experience, as them devs usually dedicated me as the capwhore who will be testing the cap. So if anything goes wrong you'll have to thank me for it. Or better yet my resonably good aim.

And with my resonably good (far from anything great) aim we found that even primaries rape quite handily and there are basicly two types of battleships, light and heavy. Heavy ones cannot dodge, but have so much armor escorts have half an hour to protect them from 5 bombers... and all you need is 1 razor hit on a bomber that has a fighter draining it's shields. And if someone can't hit razors, that is totaly their problem.

But talking about point blank range... a bomber at some 400m is serius worm food when primaries start hitting it... say you have 10 turrets that's 90000 damage per second... enough to incinerate a bomber. If you dare mount secondaries that range easily extends to some 600m at almost the same damage. And at some more range solaris kicks in to it's maximum range.

Solaris especialy is a very deceptive little weapon. At first it seems total phail, but after a 30 minute battle, bombers seem to die to it faster than the cap to bombers... Fighters thou are of little consequence to a battleship. You can almost ignore them and if not primaries can take them out at close range (and they don't have long range so they need to be close)

A Single VHF can protect a cap from 2-5 bombers... depending on the cap ship and arments...

Even when alone, you have to really fight it and learn to aim. Hitting bs primaries is about as easy as hitting 600m/s weapons on a joust. Not everyone can do it, but those that can rape pretty hard with them.

So don't bother saying Point Defense does not work... Even nonspecialised primaries work. Now your nonspecialised loadout can be countered by skill of bomber pilots, but try getting 4 skilled bomber pilots on your tail at once... It just doesn't happen...
