Myrmidon can beat a drake head to head easily.
I can't really decide whether the hurricane itself needs nerfed or if it's more a statement on projectiles and (to a much lesser extent) neuts. However, if there are no changes to projectiles or neuts, the hurricane needs to lose a few hundred PG. Full rack of capless guns+two medium neuts is just stupid. I'd definitely like to see a projectile rework prior to any permanent hurricane balancing.
Drake rebalance is in the works, so I won't say anything about it. |

The only reason it has 2 spare highs is due to the old cane having 7 turrets rather than 6.
This would majorly bring it into line with other BC's.
I have said before and will say again, the hurricane is the single most versatile bc in the game, as soon as the drake gets nerfed everyone will be back to flying shield canes.
Why?
Capless weapons
x2 neuts
Fast as fuk
Easy as hell to fit, like srsly
Its impossible to tackle one in a frig and survive
I'd rather see the PG of ACs raised or the PG of the cane nerfed. I like the eight highs due to the missile hardpoints. Two med neuts is absurd, but even two smalls wouldn't be so bad. |

That would essentially achieve nothing, except make Tier 1 and Tier 2 BCs just as obsolete as cruisers. The reason is very simple. Ignoring the HML Drake, the new Tier 3s make far superior kiting ships and far superior anti-large (and medium, really) ship option then existing Tier 2 / Tier 1 BCs. The only reason to fly a Hurricane over an, eg. Talos is (except price) the ability to carry small-ship counters. Remove that, and the Tier 1 and Tier 2 become just as obsolete as cruisers.
I would expect a tier 3 rebalance some time relatively soon. They were supposed to be "more gank, less tank", not "more gank, less tank, but really, who cares because they're so fast the lack of tank doesn't matter all that much." |
