IN the escalations before Inferno, Titan turrets got a new damage scaling tribue to prevent them from blapping sub caps like popcorn on the other hand Dread Naughts hat their tracking nerf while in siege lifted.

I am assuming this to allow dreads to deal fire power to titans which were speed tanking them. But the tracking lift, does this not allow dreads to fire Upon Battle Ships once again. if so Why have I not heard of the Great Dread naught battles of old days of pre dominion?

Capital Turrets that are fitted to titans now have a new damage-scaling attribute; targets with a signature radius smaller than this size will take reduced damage from these turrets. This does not apply to dreadnaughts.

I thought the Dread Capital Turrets would have had the new damage-scalling attribute keeping dreads out of the Direct PEW PEW fight and in the Role of Stationary Target destruction.

This would have left an an opening for a Capital Class Ship for direct combat for something between Dread and a Titan

Or is the plan to allow dreads to be the BS killer to lure out the Super cap blob?

Someday I will have the time to play. For now it is mining afk in High sec. In Cheap ships

This pro-rifter faggotry has reduced Titans from giant dicks to giant vaginas.

Rifter pilots can suck it. Bring back the capital blobbage on sub caps.

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

The part you're missing is where XL gun tracking was nerfed too. So, dreads no longer have the tracking penalty in siege, instead the stats of the guns were changed to make the tracking nerf permanent.

They might have un-nerfed tracking in siege, but they just moved it so that the guns have the same tracking 24/7 that they used to have in siege.

tl;dr: No, XL guns are no better at hitting subcaps than they were, they just changed exactly where the tracking nerf comes into play.

The tracking nerf of XL turrets was a good change, but the thing that titans cant deal good damage on things with less then a 2000m signature are ******* ****, CCP remove dat **** now <,<
