• Hello, after having some battle engagements with Valors and Gallic cruisers in the Bretonian Carrier "Invincible" I realized that the Carrier Class ships are missing one component to what makes a Carrier effective in battle and that is fighter squadrons to launch. So (if the game mechanics will allow) how about UAVs as a weapons option in Class 8 Heavy slot for "Carriers "only ( no other ship including Valors. Carriers only). I would ask that, if possible, there be 5 individual UAVs with the speed and agility of light fighters with their full after burners on when launched per shot. What I was thinking was the same specs on refire rate as Hellbores with the hit rate DIVIDED by 5 for each UAV with the range extended to 5k and since it is controlled by the imaginary crew on the Carrier, it should not be susceptible to Counter Measures (UAV is controlled via remote operator and are not fooled by CM) it's only weakness should be Cap ships flak and fire and it should be difficult at that. Its turn rate should be 8+ with an initial fanning out before turning to it's target and then striking from multiple random vectors doing moves of a veteran fighter pilot at the same time ( this is what they would do in real life UAV to break up the anti fighter flak and fire consentration).
  • The cruisers under the control of a half decent turret steering player has no equal or weakness against Other Cap ships especially the Gallic Cruisers. This will redress the need for balance in the War aspect of Disco. In real life no cruiser would EVER get close to a first world Carrier and be able to launch Light mortars and destroy a Carrier. It would be intercepted by squadron after squadron on any missile, torpedo and gun fire and destroyed before ever getting close enough for Mortars. This will not make the Carriers effective against Valors but it will against the cruisers. No class of ship should have the type of dominance against all Cap ships that the Gallic Cruisers have. Also how about giving the Dunkirk class ship of Bretonia 5 Heavy slots, 4 Primary and 12 secondary slots with the same specs on shields, armor and energy rate as Valors so we can get people back to the BAF ID and Bretonia in general. Having made such a mismatch in capabilities has killed any real interest in the Bretonian war effort. The numbers are low except in the fighter class BAF. Bretonia needs a Cruiser class as well to counter Valors and battle cruisers.

However, the Bretonian "Dunkirk"-class battleship is by far the best and the most beautiful ship in the game, out of all that exist, save the admin ones, and can easily outplay a Valor (Gallic battleship) or an Obstinate (Gallic battlecruiser), or anything that attacks it, in both solo and fleet battles -- IF USED RIGHT!

I've already trained many people to use it. Would you like to appoint a training?

PS: Concerning Bretonia, we're alright with our number of people. The only thing wrong is that there is not enough Gallic players, so there's no one to kill. If you see a Gallic ship, it is probably one of us, flying a Gallic ship. Sometimes we have to raid ourselves to get anything going on
