Light Fighters

[Dab]

My argument falls to pieces? I don't think so. Let me point out that Salamancas, class NINES do about 2000 dps. Level 10s like the Solaris, and codenames do MORE than 2300 dps. Much more. And they have FOUR class 10s, and TWO class 9s, Twice the guns, with more damage on each. True, you can't get behind the No Fighter in a VHF. You can get behind the Scimitar either, or the Wyrm. Or the Phantom. They aren't supposed to! Thats the purpose of a light fighter! They are SUPPOSED to be superior to VHFs in dogfights, while weaker against capships. Thats their purpose in this game. The VHF has to engine kill to shoot LFs, no matter what LF your flying. The No Fighter is no different from the other LFs, except less weaponry and more armor. Its no different from fighting a Wyrm. Can't get behind that either. It can sit on your butt if you don't engine kill. Same for No Fighter. The NFighter is just like every other LF, the only difference is less firepower, more armor.

Also, your calculations on timing aren't wholly accurate. You don't get full hits when your behind a VHF in an LF. Unless your opponent sits still or flies in a straight line. If they do that, ANY LF will kill it in 20 seconds. When you fight a VHF in an LF, that VHF is going to dodge. You might have heard something about it, its what everyone does to keep themselves alive. Your going to get approximately 4-5 shots in at a time. Its difficult to get the shield down, then hit hull before it comes back up. And your lasers might not all hit. You may hit them with only one or two of those three.

You need to correct yourself. It takes 20 seconds to kill a VHF that sits there. It takes 50 times that to kill a moving one.
