So i bought a Bottlenose yesterday
and i had a few rounds again CAP8 zoner guns - kusari explorer,
and i found it to be really thought (maybe i should say impossible?
since i never destroyed him :() to beat him.
So, question for all those bottlenose pros out there,
Is it only me or bottlenose is just to weak to beat a monster like that?
i have 3x Razor, 2x Pulse and a missile turret mounted.
Is it cuzz of the lack of skill or cuzz of the weapon setup?
Sorry for the off-topic but on the wiki I see that you did a review for "Ahoudori - T-833-GB Kusari Explorer". Isn't that hilarious?

i had one of those beasts before, i got bored
cuzz no one was able to kill me :D
Maybe i'm asking how can i kill myself? :wacko:
(Since i could count people that were able to kill me with fingers of one hand, and this guy isn't one of them)
@aerelm : I tried barell rolling, but when i set the commands, they are not working
Hate will eat you up from the inside, so hurry up and give your heart to a girl before you get eaten up.

barrel rolling only works in cockpit view.
so, set your barrel roll left on, for example, left arrow and barrel roll right (guess what?)on the right arrow key.
go to cockpit view an hit the left or right arrow. your ship will begin to spin. using enter in the fray will keep your ship spinning for all eternity.
Keep a bucket handy. espcially when you try it in an Arrow, like I did.
If this is your first Gunboat, it's more likely to be a skill level thing than a ship ability thing.
Gunboat single combat actually requires a lot more acuity than fighter combat. Between two equally skilled Gunboat pilots, one error can cost you the entire duel. The duel is usually decided by the person who drops the opponents shield first.
I'd say it's more likely your lack of experience with Gunboats that is your failing, not the ship it's self. While the bottlenose is more of an anti-fighter/bomber ship, it is still capable in the right hands. You simple don't know how to use it yet is all.
The worst possible thing you can do is fly in one direction and shoot backwards. Rather you should be abusing your ships superior turning speed to draw circles around the KU Explorer, and if it uses turret mode, move to a range and sniper at it until it starts to give chase again.
You have to play a Gunboat very offensively, they are so large there simply is no room to play defensively, it will get you killed. Remember that a Gunboat is a tank, if you have to take some damage to dish out more damage to your opponent, then take the damage, don't sissy away from it because you'll still take the damage, you just won't deal any to your opponent.
