Not really good to prevent anyone from fleeing, but from cloaking as well as to get rid of the shields. I would suggest to replace the CD of battlecruisers and cruisers with something similar. A slow, heavy CD, not a "I-throw-battlecruisers-against-everything"-CDs. In other words: Getting rid of cruiser/bc CDs and give them Cruiser missiles for that slot that work like CDs. That together with slow battleship thrusters may be useful.

pls no. BC and Cruiser without cd have no chance against Eking battleships, tho imagine BC eking on Cruiser you cant cd the bc so you will die
it will nerf BC-Cruisers to ground. also battleships dont need thruster

Read again what I wrote. Cruiser missiles with CD function, like battleship missiles. Just enough to prevent Weskering but not enough to lolwut anything. Right now, BCs can be thrown at everything and their mother with that.

some ship models are not suitable for broadside only pvp

zephyr,jormungand,atlantis,invincible,tokugawa,persephone,nephilim

zephyr is but it will be overpowered

That video
i led the charge against the valors
its understandable they died but the outcome at the end was going to become a gallic victory due to the unhittable BC's (Which require less skill, you can't argue that much) that stayed at max range slowly draining the kirks

old game, old mod, the physics and the systems barely work.

The closest "fun" caps in this game was on tides of war. it wasn't perfect but it was way more fun.

hell world of warships does it better.

This was not meant as offend towards the bretonian side, I would not have acted different. The focus should stay on the cap distribution between both sides and how it was before cerbs were nerfed.
