It doesn't matter who he was talking about.

Battleship escorts are NOT a myth, and are usually to be seen when a faction goes raiding(it's used for support).

No,

1st: It looks ugly to such masses move so fast, yes I hate to BS/barges fly at 350ms
2nd: Battleships shouldn't be alone as being said by almost everybody.

Please show me an outcast or corsair raid within the last 2 months containing a reasonable ammount of escorts, oh wait you cant...

i counted 12 raids the last 10 days;

In average there was 6 dreads, 3 battleships, 3 gunships, 2 fighters at the beginning, once the dreads and BS's starts dying, the fighters come....

This isnt just for the last two months, this goes for LN/RM raids too. Long time since i was in gallia, but there its usually a solid number of escorts (cuz their BS is a joke and easy to kill).

Escorts does "exist" but to stop 4+ bombers to rape a BS you need atleast 6-8 fighters, and those better have good aim.

Barge cant fly faster then 260 m/s in cruise, 320 if in group

Actually, battleship thrusters could have a function. How about they aid reverse? Similar to Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Capitals were able to move in all directions fairly rapidly, but not enough to dodge bombers.

Allow short bursts of -60 or so, varying on the ship. Also, turn the thrusters the other way and give them a larger effect so they seem prominent.

GMG vs Sails, just a while ago I think.

Black.Sails being intercepted and beaten by the GMG Ayakashi.

point being? RM bs vs Osiris??? wow, thats a poor example.... anything being intercepted and within range of a 9m BS will die unless it can dodge or outrun it.... oh wait, running from and equally fast enemy is impossible. OK point taken, get escorts to kill a BS with 5 mill armour before IT chew through your meager 2.8m armour with its 3 times as heavy firepower

I just gave you an example. Two factions using capital ships along with a snub wing.
