Admiral_Karasu Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Man, Raptor is so screwed. And I'm not talking about propulsion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not talking about propulsion. yeah, when I played it on the test server I was using an Essex. Raptor was going to the North exit and we nearly lost it to the 2 cruisers that spawn to the east. Everyone was out of place, and I had to smoke Raptor to hide it, give it a chance to heal up while everyone pounded the cruisers. You'd think with everything else being tiered up, they'd replace the Ranger with something higher tiered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that the problem is caused by the design of the particular map "Labyrinth" used for the Rescue scenario, alleged as an explanation from Russian developers. Expanding Operations to higher tiers was out of the scope when the Operations mode was added years ago, and some narrow channels were found to be navigable only for Ranger, that for many instances Lexington or Midway would get struck/grounded and break the entire Operation due to poorer turning radius and larger profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that to a point. But this is also a video game. In game we already have clones of ships with different in-game stats and abilities. The easiest thing that could have done is just created a 'new' ship Raptor, still have the model be a Ranger, but increase the HP on it to that similar to a higher tier. They could have even boosted the armor lvls if they really wanted to. While involving a little more work, they could even taken a Lexington or Midway model, also made them the ship Raptor, and given it the turning radius of the Ranger. While I'm thinking of it, besides Raptor, the Cargo Ships we 'rescue' and 'escort' also need health buffs as they can also be taken out pretty quickly by high tiered ships.

Daniel_Allan_Clark Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Didn't look much worse AA than you get in Hermes relativistically speaking. He does a terrible job of dealing with flak. Secondary focus for a CV in operations is currently a good build...so, not much change there either, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
