Coming from a guy who has always been on the receiving end of a Battleship who has mounted nothing but Solarises and perhaps a mortar or two, I know they are extremely effective at their sole purpose: To destroy fighters and bombers alike, perhaps even gunboats.

Due to past experiences, not bringing up numbers or statistics, just experiences in several different fighters and bombers I do feel that in the right hands these Solaris Turrets are good as they are, meaning I don't feel they require any nerf or buff.

Now onto the issue with Solaris Cruise Turrets, yes they are "medium effective". But a Cruiser is not intended as Vape stated in the other thread, to take down Fighters or Bombers, a Cruiser is a class-ship between Gunboat and Battleships.

A battleship with full Solaris turrets is more effective against fighters and bombers, and naturally Gunboats are as well regardless of what turrets you mount on them.

Cruisers are primarily meant to take down Battleships by using a battleships firepower and the agility of a Gunboat (yes I'm aware they aren't exactly parallel with Battleships Firepower or Gunboats Agility.) They are hybrids. Thus I think Solaris Turrets serves no purpose for Cruiser-class vessels, in-fact Solaris Turrets for Cruisers should be removed and if not, kept as they are.

This last paragraph and argument can be compared to making a Bomber to take down fighters, wouldn't creating a fighter yourself be more effective? So why ask for the Bombers to become more stronger against fighters (as they were in say, 4.84) instead of purchasing an alternative, more effective ship-class?
