Damn right I am. The German soul cannot truly embrace the OSP ethos. Also I just love using beams. That said, sometimes the ANS team is full, so I do my best to be somewhat competent with the OSP also.
The Vauxhall is, in my opinion, the most difficult ship to play. Too big to hide, not enough firepower to take on the big guys, too expensive to be a an effective torpedo carrier, not durable enough to skirmish for long. The only thing it's good at is going fast, and when I play all it does is sail very quickly to its doom. In the one round I played yesterday (as a carrier / cap OSP fleet), a formation of Vauxhalls was mildly annoying, not really a threat, and a giant target for everyone in the vicinity.
So, master of the Light Cruiser, teach me your ways.
I wish I could. I just think it’s neat!
My old torpedo fleet was thoroughly overcome by updates, so that’s out. It was one CL and a slew of spotting and sig-scramble corvettes and frigates. Haven’t made a new one yet since the missile designer intimidates me.
I’ve tinkered with a CL Wolfpack intended to sneak up on carriers. Now that the update frenzy has died down, I’m not sure it’s a remotely good investment. As you observed, “sneaking” is awfully tricky when you’re huge and everyone brings sundials.
The other niches that come to mind are “torpedo boat destroyer,” existing to screen CA or BB, and “counter cap,” intended to slaughter shuttles. I have yet to run either.
But it’s just too pretty to ignore.
