It will just require your target-painting ship pilots and your dreadnought pilots to be better skilled, using drugs, or running with implants.


Motion prediciton IV isn't "an obscene amount of gun skills." Its the bare f-ing minimum. Level 5 is a requirement for t2 battleship turrets anyway. Anyone who flies a dread regularly should have turret control elite (under the old certificate system), or be very close to it.

Never forget.

I agree skills to IV aren't "an obscene amount of gun skills." Reread my sentence: "It's perfectly possible to effectively dread blap with an obscene amount of gun skills, including motion prediction, to IV." IE, you can have a lot of gun skills to IV and still dread blap well with target painters and webs. In other words, a low skill pilot can still dread blap effectively, if properly supported, so this nerf won't hurt higher skilled pilots.

I was writing that at work, so it was probably an issue with sentence structure/clarity, as well as you reading quickly. It happens.

The 5% nerf is changing nothing, you might need more than the one token loki or rapier if you suck at escaltions, but thats about it.

If someone feels like he wont be able to hit anything, well get a super drake, or just pop a standard drop booster.

As for PVP, there is always so many Lokies it hardly matters what tracking a gun has.

Yeah... while I'm not a fan of random and un-needed nerfs, if you're doing capital escalations correctly, the angular velocity isn't really an issue. With 1 or 2 Lokis with triple webs single paint you shouldn't have any issues hitting pretty much any of the battleship escalations as they're moving away to max range. I mean hell, when we're done with escalations we pop the tiny sig cruisers while we wait on siege to end, and they're not much bigger than the womprats I used to bulls-eye with my T16 back home...

Changes are stupid and without reason but they won't screw WHs that badly.

How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp.
