Nah, I don't. Experience tells me that they do not listen and their response times are slower than it took to bring a letter from Arizona to Europe in 1776.
Look at my missiles, history tells us that a band of developer member lost a boat and got a red keyboard - zee horror. It only took 8 years to respond and make them hit something again.
So while we can agree that battleships have problems, we just don't seem to find what they are. Now one sleeper cruiser is not a problem but people need to zerg (reference to StarcraftGäó) everything to get zee green keyboards.
And if they "really wanna show you" how large their ... are, they come with sooper-caps.
See, one proteus is not an issue for one battleship. 3478901780751806354675428554 of them are.

1 proteus isn't a problem for 1 battleship, but go up to even 5 on 5 with 2 logi present for either side and suddenly the game has completely changed. Now it's a matter of who can apply enough damage to break logi chains or catch the logi to nuke them down. Well, I can tell you who won't be catching the cruisers, the big, slow, dumb, lousy tracking, slow locking, absurdly large signature, battleships. I can tell you who gets to dictate range and stay out of scram range. Not the big, slow, dumb, lousy tracking, slow locking, absurdly large signature, battleships. Well, scale that up more and the problem only gets larger with scale. The proteus fleet has no problem applying the full might of each cruiser to a single BS hull. The battleships on the proteus... not so much.
Back to 1 v 1, the only instance in which a proteus and a battleship would even get into a fight is if the proteus chose to engage that battleship. Why? Because he's a big, slow, dumb, lousy tracking, slow locking, absurdly large signature battleship. The proteus can warp before he even locks, not to mention pull range before he can scram. Oh noes, he has to move 9k away. The horror. The elephant might be halfway up to speed by the time the proteus is 20 off. The proteus can run from fights it doesn't want, or at least some fights it doesn't want. The battleship, not so much. Why? Because it's big, dumb, slow... you get the picture. Not to mention one has a cov ops configuration and can ignore bubbles. Maneuverability counts for so much in the current meta. Raw DPS means nothing if you can't apply it, and battleships have the worst damage application in game right now, save for maybe titans and dreads, and at least those two still have a specific roll. The roll of the battleship is to fight things its size, but everything its size is bad so it has nothing to fight, and even if it did, there are other smaller ships that do that roll better. It's a negative feed back loop of stupidity that CCP should have fixed months ago, or at least mentioned. Thus far, not a peep.
We know what the problems with battleships are. They are glaring and obvious. What the issue is how to remedy said issues and for CCP to actually acknowledge said issues, the latter of which might happen when hell freezes over. |

If Price isn't an object, A Vindicator, Barghest, Golem and mach come to mind. But those are very expensive fitting.
But going from, how to say? A Price to performance ratio, the Proteus wins every time. A 500mil Proteus will always beat a 500mil Battleship. Not just in 1v1 but also in terms of pure performance, a Proteus will do a Megathrons job far better then what a mega can. At similar price.

Your question is pointless, since Eve is not balanced around 1v1, but still, I'd place my money on an Armageddon (or a Rattlesnake, Vindicator, Dominix, etc).
CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Any BS w/ 1 neut, 1 web and 1 scrambler - which isn't an odd load out for most pvp BS.
As a side note - anyone trying to solo w/ a BS has to accept they won't be able to kill a lot of things. Oddly that goes for any solo ship of any class, but there seems to be an irregularly large number of BS pwnmobile dreamers compared to other hull sizes of pwnmobilers.
Again -BS are big and slow and perform better with some support. That shouldn't and hopefully won't change. |

1 heavy nuet will make the proteus struggle to provide any damage after 2 cycles. A proteus doesn't have the cargo space have enough cap charges to save it (conversly - the mega does). I'll put my isk on a reasonably fit mega every time.
I recommend you delete your copy of EFT (or whatever) and actually go pvp before you weigh in on things you clearly don't understand. |

I wasnt arguing that a purpose fit BS can kill a T3 with a generalised fit. I was telling moac tor that hes never put a typical mega against a typical proteus. Cause if he did he'd realise that a mega does not stomp a proteus in a brawl, let alone all the other things the T3 has going for it.
As for your reply, i seem to have a broader knowledge of BS's and the T3's than yourself since the 'reasonably fit mega' comes with no neuts. The only reason it would is if you were expecting to need neuts so badly you'd drop a turret hard point. Like wise, the proteus probably wouldnt even have the mid slots to fit a cap booster. Typical brawl fits have three mids.

Typical brawl fits have three mids. You need to try using a battleship in solo PvP before parroting what you've been told. You don't even need a neut, if the proteus is double webbed and going no where then the mega will be hitting it with 1500+ dps. The trick with battleships is you overwhelm with DPS, and the mega is particularly good at doing that. The Proteus will melt whether active or buffer tanked.

Equivalent DPS and has two spare high slots for neuts and an extra mid for a cap booster etc. But I guess if you insist on a mega dropping a turret for a nuet is viable.

If we want to talk 1v1 fits, there are some battleship fits that can go up against a generic strategic cruiser, but there are plenty of strategic cruiser fits that can stomp nearly any battleship in a 1v1 simply by combining disruptive EWAR with DPS.

I will give it shot sometime later
Overall I agree with baltec1 about T3 being too strong that make BS seem pointless.
I flow Caldari Navy BS for null rats, and it give barely extra benefit over Tengu that is not enough to make up for higher risk I get for flown BS in null (which later bite me)
nearly no experience with turret BS, I want to drop some of my issue with Missile BS I believe majority of issue involved with Missile BS can be resolved if we fix issue around Torpedo being terrible weapon system. I am torn about Cruise missile because while it has meh damage application, it can deliver this amount of firepower way further than any turret weapon can hope to reach Thus Cruise's weak damage application is balanced by its extreme range.
RHML system, I guess either enable Missile BS's range bonus to apply to Heavy similar to RLML and Missile Cruiser. Not exacly new info that Heavy missile is terrible too

True, if you specifically gear a strategic cruiser to kill a battleship then it can be very tough for the battleship. A RHML rattlesnake will solo any t3 though for less ISK. But then I think the RS is probably overpowered compared to other BSs.
In terms of balance BS definitely still need a slght buffs, and T3s need some slight nerfs, I'd like CCP to take a gradual approach in both cases. I was picking up on the specific example earlier though of a standard Mega vs standard Proteus, in which case the Mega should win.

From personal history i can say, the proteus can easily be beaten by a geddon and a little less easily by BS with any amount of neuts less then said geddon.
Even a typical combat prot only carries a web, scram and a prop mod, they have no ability to regen cap outside of fleets either and the only comp that can fit a cap booster gimps the rest of the ship.
It takes a minute, but during said minute your face goes from "Yay im gonna kill this geddon!" to "wait, ****, I cant cycle my guns anymore, I'm going to lose..."
BS need love, but in this case they're not under powered in a 1v1 against a proteus. |

If the Proteus is AB fit and gets under the megathron guns then it has a chance, although most are MWD scram web fit, and so the dual webs should be enough for it to hit at pretty much full damage.
The point is if you know what you are doing with a battleship it can be devastating, most people don't know what they are doing though.
Its actually better for the mega to pull range in this instance. But if you thought the mega would crush a proteus in a straight dps race you'd be surprised. Give the proteus T2 rigs and it'd outlast the mega.
Rock paper scissor discussions about this ship vs that fit aside, t3s have a better time in fights that should be ideal for battleships but enjoy extra flexibility and damage mitigation to boot. 'geddon all the things' and 1v1s dont take away from how much T3's do infringe on the role of battleships too much and the 'cost balance' has been ineffective at preventing these ships from becoming common doctrines.
Certain subsystems could be toned down to make them less suitable in slugfests but keep (or even improve) their flexibility. They'd still have plenty going for them and they wouldnt all of a sudden disappear if they lost some dps and ehp.

You don't even need a neut, if the proteus is double webbed and going no where then the mega will be hitting it with 1500+ dps. The trick with battleships is you overwhelm with DPS, and the mega is particularly good at doing that. The Proteus will melt whether active or buffer tanked.
If the Proteus is AB fit and gets under the megathron guns then it has a chance, although most are MWD scram web fit, and so the dual webs should be enough for it to hit at pretty much full damage.
The point is if you know what you are doing with a battleship it can be devastating, most people don't know what they are doing though.
Its actually better for the mega to pull range in this instance. But if you thought the mega would crush a proteus in a straight dps race you'd be surprised. Give the proteus T2 rigs and it'd outlast the mega.

They'd still have plenty going for them and they wouldnt all of a sudden disappear if they lost some dps and ehp. It doesn't matter, even with T2 rigs the Mega still out damages the Proteus by around 70% and out tanks it by a small margin. With dual webs that Proteus (unless it is fitted with AB) is going a massive 32m/s; so basically nowhere. I know it is against the current dogma but battleships are actually very decent if you know what you are doing.
And by the way, I'm still saying T3s need a nerf and BS need a buff because a BS should wipe the floor with a strategic cruiser in a slug fest even more so due to the fact that it takes skill and knowledge to effectively apply BS damage.

Change T3 to something more kitey. Say a VNI Versus a Raven, or a gheddon, or a megathron. you'll never get in point range. |
