It has a 3 talon roll at minimum. So far all talonroll users have a regular kturn as well and further than the kturn. While 2 is hardly enough to justify a pattern, i owuldnt be surprised to see a 4k or 5k on this thing.

I have no issues with the bombers getting another TL if i can do a 5k. Its when the 5k is blocked when i have problems. Plus, Homers dont spend the TL so you can get lucky and not even need to acquire another one.

True but without chips that's a harder shot to land.

You think it will have a 4 or 5 K-Turn in addition to the T-Roll and the 3 K-Turn shown in the spread?

I see no 3 k-turn in the spread. The scum dial has a 3-talon roll dialed in.

I need old man glasses. That totally looked like a K-Turn arrow to me.

Its a 3k and 4fwd shown. Theres no kturn shown.

And the advantage of LRS is you also have a focus when you fire. When i was running a pair of GammaVets with LRS alot i rarely, RARELY missed that attack and probably about 30% of the time i needed the TL. Often i would opt for a 3hit and keep the TL for round2 than try to get greedy for the 4th hit. Round2 shot usually did the job anyway.

While I'd wager a deadeye w/ Missiles build of EPT generics might be intended (I mean, people still play triple-scouts with Mindlink) I think the upgrade mix on the H-6 is better. You only have one torp to blow on EM, which means you're limited to the typically more costly missile of your choice x2. And Havoc is a unique title which can only equip unique astros, so no R4 shenanigans. It'll be good, but it can't pack the gross level of power you could with the Triple-U. It's also a small base too, don't forget, less spread.


The new ship looks really like an Elite ship. Elite is cool as hell, so the new ship must be great by the rule of cool.
