' Wrote:What would help the type 4s popularity a great deal would simply be a better shield-damage ratio. That way it would be possible to use them efficiently against snubs, but they would still be no good against a gunboat.
Then I would very much like to hear your opinion of the suggested stat changes at the beginning of this thread.

I think it would be a very deadly weapon against snubs on something like the Mammoth and even more on the Percheron. In combination with type 3 turrets and a CD they would be well usable to actively hunt snubs.
But would it make much of a difference on a Shire? It would be possible to keep a bomber at a 1k distance with those turrets. 1k is the distance bomber pilots are used to keep when fighting a Battleship.
So I guess the smaller transports would benefit a lot, while the 5k-line and even the battletransport-line would still not have that much of a better.
The type 4 turrets used to have different stats after they were introduced. I believe their current horrific energy drain was a way to keep small and agile transports from using them.
