Where are the weak spots on vanilla battleship/cruisers? ie. where does it have lots of hit boxes?

Osiris- In the tail section where it has those hull panels around the engine core.
Kusari Battleship- in the tail where the fins are?

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!

You need to use a star flier and get right in front of their forward cannon. When the BB shoots it, you fire a justice into their cannon, causing a major explosion of the round fired by the BB, and a chain reaction creating a massive explosion and insta-killing the ship.

Try it!:cool:

Serious answers please

I'm asking this question because I found, similar to how a heavy mortar (when it had explosive damage) could insta kill an Osiris by shooting at the tail section, the nova torpedo takes 2/3 hull off of a cap7 armoured Osiris.
So, where are the other weak spots of vanilla battleships?

Sorry,

Did you get the joke part?


But yea, I don't think there really is any. bombers can pwn anything on a BB, shoot everywhere, hit hard and BOOM. Little oversized VHF's take down a floating planet just like that.

Bombers ftw!:crazy:

lets say - intended weak spots would be nice. - like spots that are not covered by the shield for example. - but there aren t any. - the weakspots that exist are bugs...... and we must not exploit bugs:P

Well it's not really a bug is it? It's due to the fact that vanilla ships are made with more components, and mod-added ships are usually just one piece.

It's the reason sabres and titans get dispatched by a single mine, and likewise battleships have certain parts which are made with lots of components ie. Osiris's engine section is vulnerable to explosives.

well yes but on fighters you can't really hit your mine/missile exactly where you want....

At least the Osiris is maneuverable enough to cover its arse somewhat. The Kusari BS is just screwed.

While fighters being vulnerable to explosive weaponry is fine, I don't think capitals should be that weakness. As you said, imagine hitting an Osiris with a Heavy Mortar and killing it in one hit.
