BH BC

[mjolnir]

Battlecruisers seem to give up their defensive capability against bombers in exchange for great anti-capital firepower. Cruisers, which are smaller, are better at dodging and their weaponry is more concentrated on the ship, are better against bombers, compared with battlecruisers which are typically long (reduces effectivness of solaris turrets) and unagile (can't dodge well).

Yes, nice observation.

BHG BC is the only one with thruster. So it simply could not have great firing arcs backwards else it would be able to defeat BS alone by itself by firing backwards. Now it can still do that but it's much harder. It also shouldn't just be a "better cruiser", so that all you see all day long is BCs (like in 4.84) so it was made different from the Dessie.

2 BHG Destroyers can kill a BS by firing backwards and dodging.
2 BHG BCs can defeat up to medium BS (OC BC, Hacker Spyglass etc) by simply charging at it with all guns firing, they will overpower it before one of them dies (tested).

so BHG Dessie - kills GBs, in groups BS, is a bit weaker vs cruisers.
BHG BC - kills Cruisers (rather easily) and can ovepower BS in groups.
