A gunboat destroyed a fleet of snubs? Sounds fine, since Gunboats are the anti-snub shipclass. Rather than complaining the shipclass is overpowered, you might find it easier to simply adopt the appropriate shipclass to deal with a gunboat.
Gunboats, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Battleships, Bombers and even groups of Transports can shoot up gunboats.
Hammerhead is one of the most brutal fighters in the game. It just destroys everything in it's path. It's like a Manta but 10x better in every aspect. Who let this ship get into the game?

Wasn't just a fleet of snubs, and nah we killed that guy. I'm talking recently, where a gunboat can kill every ship you just named times three.
EDIT: To clarify, I want them to kill snubs. That's what they're for. I don't want one gunboat killing an entire fleet of Gunboats, Cruisers, Battleships, bombers and transports. That's stupid.
The thresher is garbage for anything except a support role/group fighting. Low powercore low armor it doesn't even turn that fast. What saves it is its slim profile.
Bottlenose has the same story its slim profile is what makes it decent in group fights. It's fast but it's armor is super low.
Orca is large, slow, arcs are bad. FG doesn't deal enough damage its garbage.
You already said the mako was bad. Which is true.
Bullhead is the one ship in the core capline I like. It's not op but it is good. It's thin profile and arcs make it good but it's turn rate is so slow.

This. Most people left in the community can aim worth a damn and evade. Turret Steering isn't even hard.
EDIT: Also on Topic, the Titan is pretty OP. That thing eats nuke mines, and keeps on trucking. Murmillo is a beast. Legate is pretty damn fat. The gunboat is a gunboat, I already voiced my opinion on them. The cruiser is trash, the bomber is fun, I don't fly light fighters. :>

But a single Gunboat can't kill fleets of all those shipclasses you've mentioned. Not unless that fleet is playing without a keyboard or has something else that makes them incredibly incompetent, but still, that's not possible.

I've never seen a single gunboat take out more than 2 battleships without support.
