Capital Ship Point Defense

[mjolnir]

Apologies, but I have to tend to agree here.

*points towards changelog*

You keep saying that this is how Flak is meant to work and this is how Solaris is meant to work and this is how the Razor is meant to work, however, you keep ignoring the fact that in application against RL bombers, even crap bomber pilots it does not work.

I tried all 3 against not-so crap bomber pilots, under 900m they are really dangerous.

Solaris needs to have extra range because sharpshooting a fighter with a razor, a mortar, a pulse turret or a primary is near impossible when you are in combat. (Yes, I used the words "near impossible" because sometimes due to sheer luck one shot manages to make contact. It is not the pilot of the capital's ship inefficiency that makes them miss.)

Solaris are mean to be deadly at short range, so that they keep bombers over that range, yes bombers can fire SNs/novas from there, but capships can dodge some half of those SNs, so the escorts they have have more than enough time to blast the bombers.
VHF in this scheme have no chance of downing the cap without bomber assistance.

If solaris don't hit at short range and flak doesn't hurt at that range, they are broken yes. That's why some changes are on the way. But range is not one of them.
