Battlecruisers

[ian]

ian: Word Necrosis used his his strengths to compensate for his weaknesses.

nooo i have fought other OC Desssies other than the Necrosis and most times i am left with roughly 1-2 bars of hull before i need to surrender or get destroyed

So after you proved last night that you have no interest in RP'ing with your BH BC, you want it made more powerful? Is it because you got beaten by a battleship?

Here we go with the slating, I'm just trying to heed the name It shouldn't be as strong as a BS and not as Fast as a cruiser it was just a suggestion.

I can give a **** less if you leave it the way it is. Don't attack me for the crap last night I've already explained why I wasn't focusing on RP much. So excuse the hell out of me for not pouring my heart and soul into a video game at 4:00 in the morning

Just relax I don't want to put anyone out on a thread.

Do you have any idea how a gunboat kills a battleship? By strafing.

that shouldent even be happening!
besides i dont know about any other BC's out there, as before, but is any other BC pilot having trouble trying to break through a Gunboats shielding? even if it was just standing there it still takes a long time even with mortars

Totaly agree with Mule !

I mean seriosly , the only way to fight in caps is to strafe! And since GB's kill Battleships by strafing , I'm sure that an agile BC can do the same. But , BS aren't that easy targets when they face other caps , so you'll need some serios training before you wish to fight BS.

Also , the OC dessi is a very agile and versitile ship. It doesn't surprice me to see that some people who pilot it , can handle a BC. With it's low profile , it's not very hard to strafe...up and down.

I have no problem reasoning with anyones opposition. But don't jump up and try and call me a sore loser because of one instance that happened last night. and call me OOrp. I've RPed a lot recently and intend to do a lot more of it. But I'll be god damned if I'm gonna ignore my personal feelings and overwork myself out for a game that's supposed to be my release.

i think battlecruiser are too strong now. you say that they have not so much more armour as other cruisers. i think that is ok. (for example hood and repulse from ww2, very low armored too) they are not battleships.

you say that they have extra power for 2 bs anticap guns. you know how much people use only cruiser guns, strong cruiser guns, and that extra energy power give them time to fire forever ???

and good piloted battlecruiser can destroy battleship, not all but most of them. (for example corsair dread is too big target from front, and for example liberty bc, is very small)

and i am able in my corsair gb destroy almost all cruisers, and majority of battlecruisers that i meet. then all cruisers need to be stronger too ???

and about that 2 bombers can kill battlecruiser. and how much bomber will be ok to kill battlecruiser? 4 ? then it need to be balanced that bs can survive 5-7 of bobmers. or no ? and then we end in uber cap ships ....
and last thing, all cap ships are good against other cap ships, and very good against all, when they are escorted... so when you battlecruiser is escorted by 2 fighters, 2 bombers are not so big problem... but where can someone find 2 fighter bh in these days .....

Can we stick to talking about the ships? The guy said he was talking about all battlecruisers and was using the BH BC as an example. Its not fair to bring it back to personal stuff. I dont fly capital ships and I'd be interested in knowing how people rate them.
True about the fighter escort.
In my experience one bomber is not good for anything if youre a lawful. Theyre okay for pirating traders.
Lfs a re great for escort duties, they can harass bombers and avoid fire from large ships pretty easily. Not many LF's have the firepower to bring down other ships, but there are a few surprises, like the loki. Ummm, love my loki.
One thing I dont get is the price disparity between the capital ships.

Before I fail to consider the opposition's plight and underestimate the BCs firepower (again) I want to ask Eternal and treewyrm (assuming he was that keepers.infinity character) How much damage did you guys take from me?

As far as the BC being over powered well...(I'm trying to be impartial on this matter) maybe the power plant (as I've stating in another thread) might need to go down a bit....but I'm not sure.

As I said I'm trying to throw some ideas for the developers not just to make my Bianca KE3L ALL T3H BATTL3SH1PZZ!!1!!

So lets try keeps the sore loser calling out of the thread.

Also while fighter escort would be appropriate. So would real AA guns even if the SN where cut by half, this whole business about shooting and missing for 45 minutes is annoying missile turrets have issues with homing also. A heavy capship should actually have these guns especially when they're countering the most obvious of threats.


I'm stepping out for a minute feel free to post your unbiased thoughts
