' Wrote:IMG GB, Rogue GB, Orca, Kusari Gb, Zoner GB and Storm would be classified as gunships...they all have less turrets and armor then Trident.
The thing with the IMG GB is its shape, which gives it a fairly obvious advantage.
If you're chasing after it while it's shooting at you in turret view, you're doing it wrong. I flew one in 84 for the Junkers, when it was largely considered the 'Civilian' ship and in my unskilled hands I picked and won fights I had no business standing a chance in.
What does this have to do with the topic? Probably not much. But the Tridente is a real pain to hit with a SNAC, lemme tell ya.
Sorry to say (not really), but this gunship is waaaaaay overused. Every single time I've been pirated in the past month it's either been by a soloer in one of these, or a swarm that included one or more of these.
It almost makes me miss the days of catamaranspam.
The only issue i have with this ship, apart from the huge paks of them thrown at us has to be that you can try and snac is and stuff will fly through the holes:(I think its fine how it is.

' Wrote:in that case it might just be that the BH GB needs to be readvised then because its armor is less than the tridente not much tho but enought to notice in a battle.
:crazy:What the heck is wrong with you? Maneuverability is one of the best assets of a gunboat! The BH GB is a much smaller target, plus it has more firepower! Just LEAVE the Balance forums, and NEVER COME BACK :crazy:

It's overused because silly people look at the 8 turrets and go "omg its the corsair gunboat again". In fact, it can only get 6 turrets firing forward or backward, so it's like a normal gunboat really. It's the same case with the Rheinland Battleship, Corsair Gunboat etc. Players look at the high number of weapons and flock to them, not thinking about any other characteristics.

that part isn't entirely true...but good pilots of that ship already know about its perks....
however, Trident is balanced ship, and very well tested during long period of time...and if anybody is being pirated by it a lot then maybe someone spends too much time around outcasts .... somewhere else it would be rouge GB, in some other parts corsair GB...etc....
its all about what trade route you take...i bet you never will be stopped by corsair GB in NY, or Trident in Omega 49
But, how many of the tridentes' guns can it fire forward ? 4 maybe 5 or 6 either way it sounds fishy.
this ship is balanced in the heavy gunship area but, not in the standard range its way too heavy.
I say it could just use a name change like endeavor said.
