Torpedoes are fine vs battleships...
Well, thats your opinion. I presume you are not actually basing that on fact.
You always get a few....
based on fact, torpedo damage is okay, its just the missile skilltree doesnt require you to do much training to do the same damage as other weapons, thats the problem -- no need to nerf torpedo damage though.
missiles need to be changed to be better in some instances (long range) and perhaps nerfed in others (short range vs small ships), but i dont think torp vs battleship is really all that imbalanced.
now if you want to compare 0m range with torps thats fine but in most instances this doesnt occur in real combat, the raven is quite slow to begin with so there's no reason for a raven to hump you at 0m, you are faster.
missiles do have a flight time and it is a disadvantage which is why the DPS is a bit higher
do missiles need more skills? yes i will agree to that, compared to turrets, missiles are lacking heavily in skill training, the missile skill tree resembles the drone skill tree more than the gunnery skilltree, this is because i do not think missiles were intended to be primary weapons when EVE was concieved.
in fact when you look back, the raven was the ONLY ship in eve with a bonus to missiles
now missiles are the primary weapons of the caldari, overshadowing railguns on most every ship at every level, yet missiles have not recieved the attention they should, so the skilltree is bare yet missiles are somewhat on par with turrets none the less, which is good because caldari ships would be extinct at this point if they hadn't been.
what i would like to see is ravens pretty decent with cruise missiles and long range, like how they were intended to be.
now if you want to compare megathron vs raven whatever ok, megathron also has a bigger drone bay on top of its blasters so you could argue thats imbalanced too, or the megathron could fit a smartbomb and nullify a some of the ravens torps, whatever. now im not saying the megathron isnt without its problems but i dont think the raw numbers really support the fact that ravens arent uberships that cant lose close range fights, they most certainly can and often do.
and last but not least, rockets, lights, and heavy missiles blow, they are useless against thier turret counterparts, they need to be faster, much faster, why is a Crow 4x faster than the weapons its firing? its insanely stupid, beef up smaller missiles CCP, please.
oh this is jim raynor btw, my other accounts banned from forum for a bit, keke~
