' Wrote:I can see something like that as heavy cruiser turret, or maybe in some GB forward gun slots.
It shouldn't be good from close range - so probably no proximity fuse, but then when it only explodes at max range I'm not sure if it does damage. Now if even it's made to work like that, then it can't do too much damage to avoid big number of instakills, so probably some 6-9k damage max, but then again will that really be useful in a fight?
If you want to help you can try to modify one of the flaks on own server and see if you can make it work so that it doesn't detonate very close to your ship (and is not used for close-range kills), but still detonates and does damage without direct hit at long range.
Playing with the detonation distance and possible owner safe time should give some answers. But I don't have time for this for at least another week.
The second question stands... if it does only some 9k damage in a reasonable radius, will it really be that usefull in a fight? I kind of doubt that.
