the point of this thread was to raise a point. Cruiser br do 32k hull or so? battleship is 120, but massivly more energy required. i think perhaps lowering their damage but increasing their efficency would be worthwile, or creating two types. Currently the BR's effective range is really the same as a mortar, cept the mortar hits MUCH harder. the speed diffrence really makes no effect, due to the range such items are being used the gunboat can doge either one with ease.
you re comparing two totally different weapons that just happen to share a name and a gun/projectile look.
the cruiser razor is more some sort of a substitute light mortar. - especially on light destroyers, it can be more effective, if your aim with the mortar isn t really terribly good.
the battleship razor is NOT a substitute for anything but a weapon of its own kind. if it shares the same ID description - that might need to be fixed. - but the battleship razor is a sharpshooter weapon that is mainly to be used against gunboats. ( or if you really dare to waste energy much - you can use it vs. bombers, too )
the battleships subtitute for a heavy mortar is ... a mortar.
I'd say the energy used should be reduced since we still have 10 seconds of reloads (more than any other weaps) not that I want more power to my BS, it have already it almost infinite, but having 1 or 2 razors, the energy use is pointless with the actual reload.
