IBG and Rev C varients need more frontal area (bigger profile at weapon ports).

Other cents don't need any change.

And the prom/valk do not necessarily beat an IBG. in fact, an IBG is very efficient against a valk if flying N3s or AAPs, and a competent IBG pilot can hold his own against a prom. Yea, the prom is tougher, but that's not the point - the point is the IBG is a damn powerful ship, and the fact that its damn near impossible to hit makes it worth mroe than 1/2/-/-/-

IBG will win most of the time over a valk.

As for the prom, it still wins out without a doubt. But in all fairness, the prom is not the source of the problem with... itself. If a prom has anything other than agt/flare I find it actually pretty well balanced. It's just that combo that makes it unstoppable in the hands of a veteran, short of a double team.

ok Cunjo.
You get in an IBG.
I'll get in a prom.

And Ghost.
Your not fighting a tri flare in that IBG.

I've said it once, I've said it a million times:

Increase the mass of the AGT
Slightly Decrease the thrust of the Prom

Decreasing the Thrust/AGT-weight ratio of the AGT/Flare prom will de-uber it.

EDIT: Kix, I'd be happy to oblige... if I had an IBG on hand (which I don't)

I don't feel like botting all the way up from KOS just to buy a cent a prove a point.

Thanks for turning this into a *another* prom-bashing thread :P

No, really, thanks!

This isnt about prom v IBG, or IBG v Valk, its about nation balance, right now, they are unbalanced in the low end, with the stinking IBG being one of the best (nobody can deny this) light figthers ingame, does it not stand to reason that we either nerf it?(I dont like nerfing anything) or adjust its requirements? Thats what this thread is about, and if ye cant stay on topic, id like ye to go hijack someone elses thread!

IBG can take down a tri-flare easy. Stay at around 200-150m, you still have a good chance to dodge the flares while the potato valk weighing 6000kg won't be able to dodge most of your neuts.

But yeah, like yoda said, getting back on topic, IBG is getting made bigger. And I'm pretty sure once they do that they'll bump the lvls up a bit too.
