As every ship, you need to learn how to handle it correctly, so dont be sad, being killed in Conn by some Cruisers. But this ship can has it's place. You can mount 2 BS Primary and one Flack- so Cruiser missiles in duel is NP.
For thuster, put Cheetah, or Enhanced. BC's thuster speed is lower than cruiser's for 10 m/s.
Weaponry- depends of your style and who you want to pew.
There's a thing called "Discovery of Discovery" server, where you can test any ship without putting any effort in obtaining it. Just type /restart command for LABC and try it out.

right but testing any ship with npc as oponents is not Testing! disc.of disc is good perhaps for photos and such...since is hard to see there 2,3 users at the same times; the real testing happends in conn (and even there is hard to find an adversary close to your level so that you get to see what you are doing wrong or what He is doing so magicly,) or worse for others in the real maps..
.whi not single player.
LABC is definetly top 5 favorite caps for me. It can kill a cruiser, if used right. I used All Cruiser Turrets, 1 Cerb, 1 Battle Razor ( Anti snub, yes it worked ), and 2 missiles. Missiles is what I use for anti cruisers. Chainfiring them from distance and wait for a cruiser to come straight at you and then full throttle and thrust right at it and bomb it with all guns. And its very useful if you learn how to Turret Steer. If your against a BS, BC might lose only if BS has 2-3 missiles. Other then it, its a great ship.

) ok first of all no light ship should go straight on against a Heavy ship therefore your ,cruiser coming straight at you so that you can*full throtle* )) doesnt stand really, your fighting mates where surelly let's say low skilled; i also pop a majority of cruisers regardless of type in conn Except those who know LABCs weakneses, turns harder then a dread or legate and it has a ridiculous low speed(119 on thruster) so the poor thing cannot evade other cruisers cerbs at more then 800 distance nor he can chase the said oponent in order to deal back some punishment since it gets pounded anyway!!! the devs know this no doubt...but more than them the players do...they just dont forumlance!!
(Sair cruiser is an exception to this, that dude is simply too big on the backside) ANY cruiser can kill labc with great chances not to even go down to 80% of the hull or not even the shield;His oponent: 4 cerberus(or even 2)? on a cruiser that moves almost like lsc? pfffff Buddy labc doesnt stand a chance 9 out of 10 if the oponent know that labc cant even chase you)
*Oh and against SNUBS labc has the weakest defence ( that means unexistent)
the ideal conf would be full cerb and secondaryes and in this way you will be decent or there somewhere except against Snubs!!! and there is a trend here....some sort of tabu...BUT if you mount solaris you will be struglling buddy!! hear me? Struglling to kill anything else and that includes gunboats ) when cruisers should be the scary Bane of gunboats and labc supposed to have something against BSes too....), yea i know i know you will go for cerbs...yep! now we get to the upper said point of LABCs lowest speed acompanyed by a ridiculous but nonetheless majestic static attitude) the oposite of Agility incarnate) i mean it barely turns...ballance of...!!! there are enough cruisers,destroyers wich mostly pack the same weapons and role that are Broken to NOT getting hit ; well LABCs destined role is TO GET hit by everything and at all means...regardless the ship large or small..
Man you know what, just dont buy it....chose something else!
All tested,if any Non-believers, mention names, i'll change name ingame and do my best !
