Hmmm well, we fought the monstar (yeah it's bad) and I saw all my guns blown up cause ... his missiles are NOT disrupted any ways (both CM and CD didn't work).

That's irrating while I spammed train CDs to "try" to protect me from his missile spam .. (he got a big boost and i felt it the hard way)

Also I saw the same problem with the nova torpedoes. We can't CD them ?
What's the problem ?

Missiles are much harder to avoid now than in 4.84, im not sure if it's intended or not though. I havent ever managed to evade a single cruise disruptor in my carrier despite CM spamming, and missiles are more effectivly shot down if you actually target them now.

But, monstar doesnt use cruiser/bs missiles, he uses gunboat missiles, which are designed to kill fighters/bombers.

Well their aim is not the problem, they are fine ! I just wanted to know about the disruption. Gunboats missiles are done for fighter killing, but the fighters should have something to avoid them and make the fight harder nah ?


Edit : I changed the thread title cause it gives some confusions. I'm talking about the disruption of the missiles and not their aim.

CMs mostly work, CDs work only if you hit his hull just as he fires them. Besides everyone knows that GBs and GB missiles suck now or?

No you can't CD a nova torp unless you directly target it - select it, before firing the cd.

GB missiles only suck on GBs due to plant limitations...that thing can spam 4 GB missiles and not worry about plant issues >.>

Yeah, missiles are much tougher now, you need to actually target the projectile and fire, rather than simply CD the firing ship...although, CDs to a novaing bomber seem to "displace" the Nova from it's original course.

GB missiles sucks yeah but only the necrosis can spam 4 by 4 them so finally they don't, only monstar do.

Also I would know why that missiles (and the nova too !) cannot be disrupted (and a select + CD fails, I tried it against that crazy guy monstar is ... I know why he's feared).

Once again, it's NOT about the aim which is fine, but about disrupting them. When you don't want to dodge cause it makes you run and lose your target on your lock, personally, I want to use something like the train CD to help it out and blast the enemy with my SNAC.

Also I was surprised, I paid it with all my guns (and RMs took advantage on it).

For disrupting a nova ... it would help for the capital ship escort. Just shot a CD when the hostile nova is fired and the bomber get his shield down (I don't think anyone would launch that thing with no shield) and release the escorted ship from attacks for a few seconds.

The disruptors are useful, it's pretty bad it was like downgraded.


PS : for players thinking only by train CD, the hornet/mosquito has also his utility when coupled with other missiles, just give a try in a fighter battle;)I have it on my gladiator, it helps a lot.

Again it DOES that if you target the torp. But not if you just fire cd "at random".

It do not work with me (or your own nova cannot be disrupted at all).
I tried it cause it could be a way to, in an offensive thinking, engage your torpedo when you missed the target and try to deal some damages, even low
