the Kusari battleship, MK2

[mjolnir]

Its strafe, is also higher than any other battleship in the heavy catagory.

The issue: Its current manuvering is far in exess of a ship if its size should be capable.

Check stats Camtheman posted. It's strafing is exactly the same as any heavy BS out there.

It's turning speed is slower than even Rheinland BS.
Turning speed =Steering Torque/Angular drag
Kusari BS turning speed: 43 / 250 = 0.172 rad/sec
Rheinland BS: 45/250 = 0.18 rad/sec

To give you an idea, the valor is 3x as wide, and just as tall.

Valor from the front is like turning Kusari BS 90 degrees, dunno where you get your comparison from.


========================================

However, it is true that currently Kusari BS is one of the 2 best BS for pure head on BS fight, the other one is GRN BS.

The advantage Kusari BS has over GRN BS in bots/bats, is mostly offset by damage of GRN BS guns

Either way, both Kusari and GRN BS will be rather different with the new BS turret classes. But both are still aimed at being good in 1vs1 BS vs BS fight.
