If it was so good you couldn't swing ships like baseball bats to do damage. If it was so good, it wouldn't have needed nerfs to begin with. So, with the sole exception of Ork Brute Ramships an escort could only ever potentially do a single point of damage to a ship, making it not do much overall damage to even Cruisers.īut all this would overly complicate things, and the beauty of ramming is in its simplicity You'd only ever roll as many dice as your ship had hull points. If it rams directly into macros, those shouldn't be able to fire for a whileĪnd this was the case. While an escort ramming a battleship shouldn't do much overall damage Tho i do agree, ramming should probably wreck your torpedoesīut similarly ramming someone mid ship should probably wreck the macros on that side It makes a vast amount of said in Will ramming be reworked or tweaked?: Even for the Orks.Īnd no that prow is also not designed for ramming so it would make no difference Ramming should not ever be a concept you can build a fleet around. When you could swing a ship like a baseball bat to do damage. The ramming mechanic in BFG:A1 worked, if anything it needs a buff Ramming should always remain a tactic of last resort, not something you build a fleet around.ĭont pretend pve justifies it, every possible tactic works in pve even using 1 ship vs a fleet Its one of the hardest fleets to make workĪnd it should not work. The payoff for the effort doesnt need a nerf It allows them to withstand ramming better, but it does not make them ram any better unless it has a power ram, which as I've already said, if a ship paid the price to have it, they already automatically inflicted an automatic hit ignoring said in Will ramming be reworked or tweaked?: Or do I really need to say that the Retribution doesn't in fact have an armored prow designed for ramming too? Because the prows are not heavily armoured to facilitate ramming, but instead due to the Imperial Navy's preferred tactical approach, which is a squadron of ships facing their enemy and unloading torpedoes into them. Now also factor in that the ships said Retribution might try and ram ALSO have metres thick hulls. The ramming mechanic worked good enough in BFG:A1Īlso that ship didnt have an armored prow designed for ramming There is no vast difference between a Retribution and the Repulsive class Grand Cruiser (about 1km extra length) A Widowmaker is just a modified Cobra Destroyer (1.1km long, 5.7 megatonnes), which has more mass than the Viper Class Scout Sloop. Yes it should do lots of damage, but it shouldnt stop or mess with fuel gauge The problem is that the scale and mass difference between a prinz eugen and leipzig is nowhere near the scale and mass difference between a retribution and a widowmaker Said in Will ramming be reworked or tweaked?:
