Bretonia stationary BS firepower

[mjolnir]

Hmm.. why are not other battleships like that though?

The only thing that made the Bretonian BS so deadly was the big cannon on the side...all the other ones were just as good/bad as on any other BS.

That's why this went into balance thread in the first place.

EDIT:@AoM... hostile Bretonain NPC stationary BS...the ones that fly around do not fire like this at all.. I killed 2 in my bomber above Leeds 2 days ago... no problem at all.

However, we have to live with for the next 6 - 12 months or longer. It was a hard lesson and even if i want to be a brave and honourable KNF pilot i will never move in combat again, within range of hostile NPC battleships.
The KNF needs me alive not dead.

Rheinland BS in Hamburg is deadly, trust me.
I don't know for everyone, but that one in Hamburg is pretty close to Brettonia Battleships now.

Kusari BS are weak, Liberty ones are ok.
I guess some boost to Kusari BS would be nice.
Give them some kind of a big weapon (All BAF BSs have something that looks like battlerazor, but much faster and better refiring).

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

/sigh/

I wish player battleships could use those BIG guns of the NPC battleships (like the Bretonian 2-barrel or Rheinlan 3-barrel)

aren t they the same? - the only difference is - the stationary battleships have their fingers on the triggerfinger like a player, but in contrast to a player, they have an infinite energy supply.

i tried the rheinland BBs and the bretonian and kusari BBs in beta 4 pvp server - and they were just like i thoguht they should be, - however, i am disappointed that the patrolling BBs are weak ( they just got a ton of armor )

All stationary battleships are lethal, and I have a theory as to why...

For a start, they each use the gunboat forward gun, with modified speed values. Since they are on turret slots, they have good rotational angles.

There is no other explaination in my eyes.

This isn't just about bretonian stationary battleships, all of them are lethal. dodging at 400 m away from one of them just wont work, because im sure the speed values of the heavy guns have been upped to the usual 1600m/s of the other battleship guns.

Other battleships are just as accurate, or do more damage. Not sure about the Kusari ones though, never been shot by one (thank god). For instance, on a mk VIII armoured eagle, the battleship in NB around Bonn station takes 3/4 of its hull in a single shot.

However, in my personal opinion, they are too strong. Those guns should become slower, but not less powerful (the hard hitters) so they can still kill capital ships but be ineffective against fighters and bombers. In exchange, the patrol battlegroups should get better loadouts and more agressive AI... for all houses, not just bretonia or rheinland..

guess what..that BS's(i mean the one in T31) main gun is with 3000shield damage and 6000hull damage per shot.....

[Equinox]

Well to be honest i think they are pretty much the same, the other day in my workers front char i was flying through Rhindland to get a new ship, took a trade lane that brings you out right on top of a battleship and i didn't have a chance to do anything before it killed me.

Same thing the other night in liberty in my Corsair char at an event the battleship in Texes could rip my shield of in seconds if i got to close.

I kinda like it like that though, but i do think there all pretty powerful now.

That's ok.. but it fires at some crazy speed (1600m/s or I would say more) and with at least 2-3 refire rate....

and yes the difference between patrol BS and a stationary one is quite huge.

Those things solve the problem of the otherwise crappy Bretonian NPCs...now, if only I could get my hands on a pair of those double-Razors...:lol:
