' Wrote:Guess it's time for some 300m/s SNAC bombing runs...
~10 second recharge for a snac
~5 seconds before the recharge starts
~3k range upon fire
(15s x 300ms) + 3000m = 7500m
Charge cruise, drain energy, get cd'ed and you failed.
now thrust off again to 7,5k away from the target.
then EK at it for 15 seconds again while it moves away.
' Wrote:Hmm, I wonder how agile the Trident is. And how it'll do against a few bombers.
Last time I flown one was like 2 years ago. D:
Based upon my numbers here (not a complete list, just what I've bothered to look up), it is more manueverable than the Ahoudori or Orca and equivalent to the Heimdall. It's slightly less maneuverable than the Claymore or Asco, and less maneuverable than the Conference, LH Gunship, and Bottlenose.
Number is radians per second at max turn rate in the pitch or yaw directions. Divide pi (~3.14) by the listed number to obtain the time it would take to turn 180 degrees. TL;DR version: Higher number is better.
Tridente has practically the exact same turning stats as the Liberty Rogue Gunboat. Plus it's smaller, has holes in it's hitbox, it has a heavy powercore and 8 guns. I'm pretty sure it has more armour as well. It's pretty much the most OP publically available gunboat at the moment. Has all the benefits of a light gunboat, all the benefits of a heavy gunboat, and none of the drawbacks of either class.
