can you also compare it to other 9 million core battleships? ( legate, kusari BB, rheinland BB ) - cause from what i remember, the lib carrier just barely makes it a "heavy" battleship - being smaller than even the outcast battleship ( which admittedly is disgustingly huge though )
from what i see - it doesn t look "large" enough for a heavy ship - but a medium battleship should do. ( but maybe i m wrong, its been a while that i examined the size charts )
when its supposed to have armour of like 1 million or more and a 9 million core ( somewhat trademarks of heavy battleships ) - it really needs to fit the size. ( however, no need to be as large as the juggernaut or the marduk )
and we should also never compare to the lib DN, which - if it had been a custom model - never have gotten a medium powercore and so much armour, but would have received something like mako stats, i guess. which gets me to another issue....
one of the main enemies of the order, the BHG only got a rather inferior light battleship ( its really much worse than the osiris ) - question is - how are they supposed to fight a really heavy one that has a good turret arc cover ( it already has trouble iwth the legate - and the legate has at least quite a large weak spot ( rear ) ) - currently, the mako is mostly balanced to fight the osiris. if facing a heavier opponent, i dare say, there is no choice but to simply add more ships to even the odds. ( adding more ships to a battle - meaning ... they ll have to fight 1 mako+whatever vs. one heavy carrier in order to have a fair chance to win )
