Liberty Cruiser foward gun.

[RingoW]

Aiming point of Liberty cruiser forward gun is a bit above the center of cockpit view and it always needs practice to become good with the forward gun. Then the gun, along the ship becomes a dangerous tool.

From Vanilla Freelancer I always thought that Cruisers were anti-Battleship creations, with the added ability of being able to destroy most fighters with ease. As Battleships usually provide a bulky, slow-moving (usually stationary) target, the gun wouldn't really need the much off a refire rate. However, getting the gun lined up for a shot can be a real pain, especially if you're used to the freely-moving guns found on most ships, and indeed on the Cruiser itself.

I have cruiser and fighting caps is hard ... i still practice shooting with forward gun ...but almost any other cruiser with mortar can kill me ...why? ... because they aim mortar 1000 times easier .. i have to turn whole damn cruiser around to hit him and he can place couple of hits until i turn around ...

i think forward should get much higher damage then light mortar... light mortar does same amount of damage but it can aim in every direction and forward gun ...

i don't know whats energy usage of those guns but i don't think its much different

Well if you don't like how the gun works, use a light mortar on the cruiser... It is one of the most effective capital ship weapons that forward gun, the cruiser is built around it.... And it's god easy to hit that rheinland battleship, that the cruiser is aiming for... you shouldn't use it on other ships, for that use either the battlecruiser or gunboats, bombers and such..

The cruiser should be used in tandem with a battleship to take down any enemy battleship with ease and without taking any damage themselves... with careful maneuvreing it could be done easily. But the engagement does require practice and planing.

I`ve been using it for a few days now. it is indeed hard to aim. but the Ray Of Death has a high velocity, making hitting something a tad easier.

also, it does more damage, and drains less than a ligt mortar.

use it ont stationary ships, or the real fat ones that cross your bow.

lastly, it looks awesome.
