Tier3 BCs will be useless aside from Tornado. Because they can damage BS and bigger ships only, but suck comparing to them on account of 3-4 times less ehp (it's for close range roles). And as to long range, only Tornado is suitable for it with its superb alpha. So we'll see another few (or perhaps not few) "nerf matars!!!" threads soon and nothing more.

Problems with Cruise Missile are not why they are not used. Cruise Missiles are a fine PvP Weapon. The Platforms they come on suck.

The issues with Cruise PvP are such.

* Raven 6 Launchers, Typhoon 5 Launchers. All other Fleet Battleships used have 7-8 Weapons or 2 Dmg Bonuses.
* Battleships that do carry Cruise Missiles can not keep up with Missile Fleets currently in use.

The fact that there is not a Missile Battleship good enough to build a Fleet around is the reason they are not used.

8 Cruise Naga with a Dmg Bonus will see action in Missile Fleets.


Yeah, this was my original thought. I see now why torps are a little more appropriate for the style of the new BC's (they need to be vulnerable to be balanced, and torps bring them into firing range of other ships) but the lack of a strong cruise platform was exactly why the Torp bonus took me by surprise initially.
