Pyra being op?

<< < (6/34) > >>

Nidh:
I don't find the junker OP, its strafing tendencies make it harder for the gunners to compensate and is therefore not merely a point and shoot ship. It takes much more skill to fly a junker imo. As for Pyra dogfighting, if it takes the same ship to beat a ship isn't that OP? (That's excluding teamwork of course) And wasn't it agreed just a few posts before that any weaknesses of a ship can be remedied with pilot tools?

Sammy B. T.:
It doesn't take a Pyra to beat a Pyra. The Admiral Quackbar eats them for breakfast, regularly.

Nidh:
So does the Lyri, but that in no way makes the Goldfish OP. I would argue you're just too darn good of a pilot Sammy

Sammy B. T.:
I am not saying the junker is OP, I am simply saying it counters a good ship. I honestly believe though when flying against a Pyra of equal piloting skill as myself, my Junker will win. Not always, but statistically significantly enough for me to view the Pyra as a counter.

Surette:
If pyramidions were overpowered, competitive matches would consist of four pyramidions. Clearly that's not the case. Pyramidions are easy to fly and crew on, which is why they seem overpowered for many new players. As a pilot when I don't feel like doing as much work, I'll fly a pyramidion. The separation of hull/engines and balloon/guns allow for most beginner crews to be effective (once they understand this separation), plus forward guns are easy to aim.

That being said, it's certainly not overpowered and honestly I'm not sure if I can explain it any further than some of the posts here already have. It has a large, easy to hit hull, and doesn't maneuver easily. If you accidentally miss your target by overextending (which newer pilots often do, when they don't have a good grasp on how each ship moves), forget about it. Your enemy will easily take advantage of your massive blind spot and you'll be down in seconds. Easy to learn and a sturdy brawler yes, but easily countered once you realize other strategies exist.

And the argument that "just because it's possible to counter it doesn't mean it's overpowered" is silly. Everything will seem overpowered in this game if you don't know how to counter it. If I don't avoid a galleon's broadside, the galleon will seem like the most overpowered ship in the game. The same principle applies to the pyramidion. If it wasn't able to be countered, I'd agree that it's overpowered. But that's definitely not the case.
