I'm guessing this guy just played against Morblitz.  Normally the LJ doesn't devistate hull armor... unless you're playing against Morblitz and are between 300 and 2500 meters from his gun.

Can always use a Sunderland to annoy him with a Mercury though.

Poor Morblitz, I was making him suffer XD

Bloody Mackems.

On topic, I had a chance to play around with the Lumberjack for the first time recently. Got to say, it's incredibly fun to use.

I've done barely any piloting, however, so I can't possibly comment on how fun it is fly against. Not very, I'd imagine.

Pends on the gunner and pilot

For example, if the gunner is Morblitz, Phoebe, Kubi, Yiski, and someone else whose name escapes me......you're not going to have a good time....

No way a level 2 can be good with such a gun.

I did see a couple level 3's who claimed to have read and guide, and they were rather decent.

Oh, Metal Man is a good shot, too, so is Lehran.

RearAdmiralZill had some insane shots the other day in a Raid game I was spectating.

Xemko is spectacularly good with a lumber.

Today was the first day I used an LJ outside of practise, me and my captain were both suprised and impressed at howI was able to hit most of the important ones. I even got one really good hit from across a very big distance on a spires balloon.

If anyone is wondering I'm L4 gunner. Seeing as their is a discussion about that over here

I'm actually surprised with how easy the lumber is to shoot, considering that I've only used it about 10 times since its release (I don't gun much). Sure, I can't hit jack (heh...) at extreme long range until I've had a clip to judge the drop with, but even at fairly long range lesmok makes it pretty damn easy to hit with.

That being said, I don't think it's OP. There are some pretty simply counters, just like with any other gun.

My concern right now is that sniping seems to be a bit too rewarding. The LJ by itself is not realy all-powerful, it's the fact that you can have one of these on a Galleon along with either a Manticore or a Typhon facing on the same ship along with a Mercury gun.

It slows down the game to depressing levels.
