The big thing comes into play at close range, though. It's a bad idea to do that in an Inferno still, because ammo. My point is, if the Inferno starts spraying at you the same range, it's likely going to land a few strays. They're all pretty fucking cool and I'm thoroughly impressed, particularly with how carefully CIG has managed to balance the Ares, which really appeared to be a ship that was going to shatter balance before 3.14 came along and totally shifted the perspective of it.Ī constant stream of bullets requires a lot more course correction to consistently dodge, and allows for far more damage to be applied overall. Ofc downside is it would need crew, I wouldn't run a Redeemer solo- just get a Vanguard if you wanna do that imo. You're also agile enough to corkscrew and out strafe projectiles from decently far range, making you very hard to just sit far away from and peg to death by smaller targets. Redeemer - With just a single gunner (top or bottom), you'd be absolute hell to kill due to the gigantic shields and insane firepower. I'd wager this thing can handle mediums of any sort and up with absolute ease though :) You wouldn't need much to shred them but you'd have a hard time getting that light to stop orbiting you. Inferno - A bit more of a generalist, but still likely to lose any 1v1s against small ships with decently skilled pilots. It's hard af due to the low projectile speed :( If you want to see how hard it can be to hit, try fighting a decent Gladius pilot with a Glaive/Scythe, since the cannon stats are virtually the same between the 2s5 on those and the 1s7. Any light fighter is going to be incredibly hard to hit with that gun. In my opinion, assuming PvP is factored in, or we're including future-theorized AI that's actually intelligent and dangerous:
