It's the siege gun of the siege cruiser, yet its range is SLIGHTLY SHORTER than that of the light mortar. Ok, not enough to really matter, when when you consider that the mortar ALSO allows much easier aiming, the mortar suddenly becomes a tad moreuseful in general. So you get a ship with a big gun, the entire SHIP has to be pointed to use it, but other ships of the same class can use a weapon nearly as strong, but able to be aimed a LOT more easily and in a long range battle, a regular cruiser could get off more mortar shots due to ease of aim.
A siege cruiser should be just that, cruiser designed for siege attacks, but as it is, its range is too limited to give it propper use of what SHOULD be its main advantage.
' Wrote:Sorry, this thread is a load of crap. You said the forward gun rocked in a fight against 2 BS yesterday. That's what it's supposed to do, nothing else. Ergo, you proved yourself wrong. Oh, and try reversing and strafing.
Yes, it IS useful against battleships in a large fleet engagement. But that is about all it currently is VERY useful for.
Past that YOU are a load of crap, as you obviously have never seen me fly, and are just joining the 'i dont like this idea so I'll flame the poter' dogpile.
Also, once again, HOW COME MULTIPLE CRUISER DRIVERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS.
Answer that. without resorting to saying 'they all suck'.
