We were annihilating people left and right in the 522nd, with the Mafic back when it was the Kiith Somtaaw. Why weren't people QQ'ing about it then?

The Scylla is not a very good anti fighter platform. Its turret arcs prevent it from being able to fend off anything that can get behind it save a noob gunboat and the smart bomber can approach from above and avoid the one turret that can hit up there.
You'll notice most of the Scylla's fire-power is forward facing, making it more effective at charging the target head on. Trouble is with it being a destroyer, you can't really charge at fighters/bombers as they fly circles around you.
' Wrote:Red Cat - LF/HF size, bomber stats, decent agility and a bugged hitbox which makes it even more unhittable while it's raining death on you using 4 codenames, a turret and a SNAC to back it up.
Good times.
Nah.
Why would you use code weapons on a bomber in 4.84, that's silly.
You should'v always used all shield busters, because you don't want your target to loose bots that you are trying to get.
Yep, in 4.84 all ships dropped all of it's B/B once they die. So, you insta-kill them and you repair yourself.
That ship was so overpowered it was really boring to fly it. It could out maneuver a Templar if used properly.
I remember I had a Hogosha Catamaran with Tizona's. And that was...boring.
And I always preferred Taiidan, it was pretty much free for anyone to use it + it had 48k powercore + small size and great responsiveness.
I think Kaichou is still one of the best bombers, if not the best one.
The love probably dates from 4.83, because it was the only bomber back then, with Bergelmir which was not open for all.
Mafic, at the moment, is not overpowered. It is a beast against gunboats and cruisers, but if you get a fighter or two on it's back it will go down fast.
It could go with less B/B though, I think.
And Hacker gunship is simply ridiculously weak compared to other gunboats. In first version of 4.84 it was the best ship, however. Everyone used it, because it was really fast. Plus, there weren't uber Tridente's around.

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.
Oh yes, chopper certainly remembers the wonders of 4.84 bombers:D
right now shooting bombers in a LF is rewarding. Before you spent ages biting their hull off, then some noob VHF jousts your target and whoops, full bots again :lol:
Anyway, regarding the original post. Dude. You really should get to know your figures first. Mafic with a Supernova doesn't have any greater firepower than Barghest or Waran. Such firepower is comparable with gunboats sporting primary turrets. Not with cruisers. Likewise, SHFs certainly don't have gunboat armor. As funny as it sounds, there isn't a big turn rate difference between Mafic and gunboats.
The Mafic could really use a few bots less, to at least have less then the weakest gunship there. Doesnt make too much sense to have a much smaller ship with more of those things then the gunship. Otherwise its fine as it is.
And yeah, Red Cat :ylove:

Seeing that they had no CDs..EK going backwards would of been his best option, but i have never flown a Scylla so i would not know how they handle.

(kudos to every single Corsair and Outcast battleship which was funded by niobium/diamond trade run, we miss you guys, seriously, you made my aim so much better :smile2:)
It's funny how no one mentions pregnant eagles and their magnificent way of taking every hit from every possible angle... :lol:
