7- and 8-gun gunboats

[Ursus]

:| you're cherrypicking on the very low end of the light gunboat spectrum. The LH GS is not balanced for combat against much of anything (other than 2-3 snubs, or light transports) - much less, a competent enemy gunboat of ANY turret count.

It's also the second most agile behind the bottlenose. The argument is that there is no need to balance because agility is king. Well alright, here ya go. Except the second most agile cant beat a run-of-the-mill heavy:no:

bnose is the exception here, not the rule, since it has everything going for it (good strafing shape, good agility, 6 arcs in multiple directions, etc). LHGB is closer to the rule in terms of limited arcs and bad shape. There are some other ships that are good in their own ways, KuGB certainly has nice shape but it is very limited arcs and they are not good for turret steering. Claymore has great shape and horrible arcs for turret steering. Dont use bnose as a reference anymore than use Asco as representative of medium GBs, none of the others have a hull that consists of two big holes next to the center mark.

But I digress. Even a LH GS that does not wish to fight a KuEx can easily avoid combat by dodging it and running.

Here we go again, it's balanced because I can leave and come back with my KuDessie. C'mon that's not balanced its broken. No other class is balanced like that.
