' Wrote:It does really seem that the BHG gunship is overpowered. To be honest I haven't had a ton of experience against them but i have heard some horror stories. It's hard to tell if it is unbalanced though as it is the only ship of it's class I believe (or perhaps one of the few).
Not entirely true I assure you. Yesterday it took 1 Cruiser, 4-5 bombers and 2-3 fighters to take me down in my GS.
Ok, ok, just kidding.;)It was a furball in Theta. BHG| vs Assorted Sairs. 5 BHG (2xGS, 3xMantas) vs. 8-9 Sairs. BHG was doing fine before the Cap showed up.
But honestly I lasted pretty long under the full barrage of all the ships chasing me. The numbers maybe off a few, since I just didn't have time to count them, but there were at least 4 bombers and 3 fighters that I had time to scan during the fight.
Maybe the bombers' aim was off a lot. I don't know. But I survived the on-slaught quite long while being able to drain the bats/bots from chasing bombers/fighters
I'd say it's very survivable against smaller craft, but when the enemy GBs show up it's time to bow out.
Heimdall on the other hand seems very big and clumsy, but turns ok. The firing arcs are very limited, so you are in trouble if the enemy manages to stay on your six all the time.
