Turret Steer

[Reid]

Turret Steering hasn't changed much, I've been taking out cruisers in a lone gunboat way before 4.86. Don't blame a new feature for a pilot's shortcomings.

Besides, there is a problem with turret steering right now, the camera goes the opposite way of the gunboat, making things difficult

I don't have any problems with turret steering, just ask the guys who I had a few fights against in Conn a little while back.

I took my LABC to Conn, just for a look and ended up helping 'train' some guys, while getting some training and a few tips myself.

I got thrashed by the guy who seemed to be running the 'training' with a bunch of Libby GB's.

It was a *tough* fight, the guy in question was very very good, but I could pretty much hold my own against the other people flying Libby GB's.

I regularly take my LABC 'hunting bad guys' and often run into Rogue GB's.

The very first thing I do is get into turret steering mode, it's easy a LABC vs Rogue GB, but it's still practice.

one gunship/gunboat alone can take down an BC. 2 can beat an Bs.

one GB (anticap) can take down cruiser if there is a big difference in skill, 2 Gb (anticap) can take down BS. 2 GB (antisnub) can take down BS if he doesnt use secondaries (but it will take for a while, also a lot of skill and luck is needed:))

Gb vs bomber - bomber still can win (if pilot prays to proper God)



P.S.: almost noone use anticap GB so half of this post is not relevant

You're confusing stats with skill mate. Just like the OP.

You sure? Why do every second pirate I see got one for himself? Is there a reason, maybe?

As for the OP - gb vs cruisers/battleships balance is ok. In your case, you had a LibDread, that, like Mako/Togo/Ossie has very limited lvl8 capabilities.
And it's better to stay that way, because this ship can kill cau8 nephilim, while being equipped with cau4 (without b/b, ofc) in a head-on battle.

Cause you're seeing Renegades...

Erhm. No comments about the asco. Period.

Also, Liberty is famous for gathering the worse cap pilots ingame (there are some really, really good, 10% maybe), while still having decent gunboat pilots, and some of them of the best (AKA the Assault guys, mother of god). Your problem here is that you're upset 'coz you tried to gank a GB on your cruiser and things were wrong. Blaming via forums won't help you. Some serious training will.

Actually the turret steer didnt make the gunboats stronger against bigger cap ships, but it screwed the balance between snubs and gunboats.

Turret steer didnt screw any kind of balance. Turret zoom did.

Turret zoom is way too far for gunboats, reduce it to acceptable levels.
