Ive been feeling pretty indestructible in the sharn playing it at range and sniping, think most people now are just shooting bots though, I hear its easy to kill via fires or something?
Yeah, you aim just below the forward turrets on the Scharn or Gne and about 75% ish of the time. It will explode a few seconds later and unlike the Ammo racks you dont need 20’000mm of pen to do so.
All you have to do is set fire to the ammo racks and because of their short nature, will travel down the ammo lifts very fast
British 15" and 16" guns at the very least can pretty much one shot a Scharn or Gne if you aim at the right spot and its not a hard spot to hit
Ya I noticed recently id hit someone, and usually i just shoot below forward turrets if I dont know where to shoot, that i would get a “target destroyed” message seemingly randomly like 5 seconds after a hit that seems to only take like 10% off the bar of an otherwise healthy ship I guess this is what is happening and doesnt only affect sharn?
It can be done against any ship, but Scharn and Gne have very short lifts compared to most. So the amount of time it takes for a fire near the top to travel down to the ammo rack is a lot shorter than most.
If its long enough, then its possible to put out the fire, but it seems nearly impossible on the Scharn and Gne if the fire is anywhere but the very very top
I also imagine with Gne, you’ll have a fair few that wont cancel other repairs to prioritse fire fighting as well. Which will only make matters worse
