Fighters vs. Gunships - Coin - 02-11-2009
' Wrote:Thanks for all the input. I mainly ask for the sake of roleplaying. I want to get some kind of strike team going that can help take out pirate gun boats. I usually play with 2-3 friends, so maybe fighter, bomber, gb will work for us!!
You do?
Well, click on the link in my sig, I may well have just the job you're looking for!
/shameless recruiting.... always good:D

ehhh...get a Luxury liner (220 000 armor)
Get a cap 8 upgrade 4.0
you get a 880 000 hull liner with 11 turrets
Mount level 4 turrets on it.
Youre good to go, considering that you have 880k armor and a rogue GB has 95k

Guys, it comes down to skill in most cases, My boat is by no means an easy kill based onlayout alone.. most single fighters are going to be space dust... however... CD's do vex me and render my glide abilities which I depend upon in most encounters... so yeah good advice on the CD... armor argument is really moot... most pirates will trick out their armor and if they haven't SHAME ON YOU. *laughs manically*
Be well folks!

Swift, severe: it depend on skill... skilled gunboat pilot CANT be soloed by one bomber (just because shield restore is faster than energy restore of bomber and only blind let you shoot into him with tizzies and debies).
Btw: 4 hits with missiles and your guns are out
what does it mean: PROPERLY EQUIPED, MOVING (corectly) and SHOOTING (acurate aim) gunboat is unsoloable by anything smaler than another gunboat. PROPERLY EQUIPED, MOVING (corectly) and SHOOTING (acurate aim) gunboat even cant have problems with 3 VHFs not even 2.
(Yea I soloed gunboat with my KNF cat but he was totaly crapy pilot).. (yea I survived 6 VHFs aganst my hacker gunship... when 2 of them died, rest fled - RM vs Udo and me but Udo died sooner than he was able to help me.... and yea I was taken down by swarm of VHFs but they had one SHF with SNAC and working like team).

:lol: Ha!
I'd like to see the gunboat pilot that can withstand 3 experienced vipers. *points out to the crowd*
Who will face me?:P
------------------
Anyways, 3 VHF's will never have a problem with any gunboat if they know what they are doing.
And it really does not matter how many missiles the gb is packing, it'll still die.
A razor does 19k damage to hull, and a average VHF can fire off two razors within 3 seconds. Then the energy bar is 0.
So that's 3 x 2 = 6 razors. 6 razors does a bit short of 120 k hull.
As for shield, pretty much the same thing. Just takes a bit more to down.
When the gunboat opens fire on you, you just dodge, and you're impossible to hit. While you dodge, the other two fire.
And when he switches then you fire, and the target dodges.
Etc.

swift any skilled gunship with 2 dragonflies and cap armor VI or better;)He just need to kill guns on 2 of your vipers and battle ended. 1 viper without guns = 4 direct hits into hull (it also = viper without regens:D)
Constantly dragonfly spamage is enough (and dodging till you kill first one).

Send those babies to the Taus then, and you'll see what my point was.
Also, it takes a ginormous load of missile hits to destroy a razor. In fact, in all of my "Disco career", my razor never got downed by missile spam.
As I said, feel free to parteh any time.

1. out of my zoi
2. I dont have dragonflies
3. I sux a lot in gunship
4. I dont have time to play because I have exams (which remind me It is amost 40 days when I was last time online with gunship damn and Im soo close to wipe:D)
5. 4 hits with dual dragons = 8 missiles = enough (my BH lost razor that way last time when I was online)

Dragonfly spam doesn't count as skill though, to be skilled you should be able to do it with 6 guns in a GB. Jure can do it, Jura can do it, I can do it, Doom has done it.
Dragonfly spam is for nubs:PSo is any missile spam, all you are doing is thrusting towards the target and mashing buttons:lol:
