Shooting down the Galleon

<< < (3/4) > >>

Squash:
It's worth pointing out that galleons are vulnerable to close range fire but the absolute best at long range.

Mattilald Anguisad:
not if you bring artemis/merc, that build is for dissabling anything with heavy weapons (light weapons take quite a bit more practice to dissable) - jou just lock down galleons heavy weapons (it's permahull was listed as in she shup loadout bage as 1400 BTW). If you have guts and learn pro Scyla light mortar (aspecialy since is has virtualy 0 spread nowdays) - that gun has double DPS of Light Flak

HamsterIV:
The Artemis does negligible damage to the hull armor, and one Mercury with charged rounds damages armor only slightly faster than a mallet can repair it. If you want to go for a sniper build you should put two mercury's pointing in the same direction and have two crew members bring charged rounds. Then you can bring down the armor fast enough to possibly land a shot on the permahull. It is a long process since the Mercury is fairly weak against permahull, but it will go faster than merc/artimis. Plus with the enemy's permahull stripped most of the time your ally ship can walk in and deliver the Coup de Grace.

LazerusKI:
we have equipped our pyra now with gatling and flak with heavy rounds.
a few days ago it worked like a beast, even the galleon was no problem.

but yesterday and today...nothing.
it feels like there is no damage anymore, we can shoot magazine after magazine into them, but nothing...and yes we hit the hull.
was there a broken patch or something?

JaceBoojah:
112  hull DPS     24 armor DPS Light Flak
14.6 hull DPS  82.9 armor DPS Gatling

The only time you should shoot the Flak gun is when the hull armor is down or you KNOW you will be able to reload in time to shoot a full clip the instant the hull armor does go down.

Think of the time between when the hull armor is down and when it gets back up as the only window of time that you can damage the other ship.
When that window opens you want to get as many flak hull hits as possible to kill the other ship.  So if your gunner has a full clip waiting for the hull armor to go down you can kill ships way faster.
The Gatling gun is THE BEST at opening that window for you.  It does not need Flak hits to help it do its job.
