' Wrote:to clarify something about the osiris reverse speed...
a reverse speed of 60 isn t of much use when you are FACING your enemy. - it is meant to keep a flexible distance while NOT facing your enemy.
a good osiris captain keeps a distance of around 2.5-3k from its enemy ( usually a marduk ) - and flies straight on. if the marduk charges cruise - the osiris will do the same. if the marduk goes into reverse - the osiris does the same - but reverses quicker at a greater speed, cause it ll take some seconds reaction for the osiris to notice that the enemy is reversing - hence getting the distance too great.
now - if you have a F-gun... you will be facing the enemy one way or another - and the reverse of 60 means nothing when your enemy charges you with 90ms. - your distance shrinks down inevitably.
an osiris like reverse works best - if the battleship had a REARWARDS cannon ( but while practical - what faction would build that.... it kinda comes about cowardly to build a battleship with all its weapons pointing backwards )
in short - forward cannons are good for BHG tactics... which can be summed up like that : CHARGE!!!
Reverse speed of 60 + fw gun = more time to shoot it while reversing from incoming battleturtle. If it's firepower would be good enough to even the chances when the RM BS comes close enough for primaries - then it's good. Also did you mean BFG?
And yeah, it looks nice. I'd prefer i to be a bit less "not well-cared about" but ooh welll.
