Ballistic Weapons for Capital Ships

[Gagadug.]

Looks nice on paper but I think it might make cruisers ( especially lighter ones) useless in battles since they are completely dependant on dodging against battleships. Its not like snubs and gbs because cruisers have a too slow turn rate and speed to evade the bulk of shots completely.

Light Cruisers will be better than Heavy Cruisers, you need to be lucky to hit a Cruiser with your Battleship Heavy weapons or Cruisers can stay away from battleship and fire artillery/mortars from long range
Currently Cruisers dodging all weapons except Secondaries/Razors
Battleship Light Weapons will have less range(300-500m less) than Cruiser Main Turret and Heavy Turret
If you are really good in Cruiser you can dodge most of the incoming projectiles

Currently Light Cruisers are good vs Battleships
Heavy Cruisers good at tanking other cruisers but very weak vs Battleships
and it will be same with Ballistic weapons

Ye youre right but what I wanted to say is in fleet battles where multiple battleships can fire on a cruiser they can with those weapons build up kind of a "wall" of projectiles . Its already hard to survive that but then even more I think. For duels it will not change much I guess unless as said for newer players.

Well , in fleet battles it is suppose to be like that , since battlefield is chaos , you just fire away all you got on first enemy you see , you don't have time to casually pick targets !

I don't get it, why would it harm the "dodging" thing? Guys if you have spread, only 2 - 3 bullets out of 10 will hit probably, that wont cause alot of dmg as if you would hit with 10 at once. it's pretty much ballanced if you ask me even if you have hits, it'll take a longer than usualy.
