The common argument from the defendants, heavies, is that they require a super high dps weapon to counter shotgun scouts because shotgun scouts will, quote "just two shot them".
Your honor, I have here, exhibit A & B.
Exhibit A is the Creodron shotgun. It deals a DPS of 754.25. It has a damage profile of -10% Armor +10% Shields. It costs 93 CPU & 14 PG. It has a useful range of about 10 meters.This is the tool commonly used by the prosecution, to persecute heavies. Now, your honor, I unleash upon the court exhibit B. Exhibit B is the Boundless Heavy Machine gun. It deals a DPS of 792 and has a damage profile of -5% shields +10% armor. It also only costs 92 CPU & 10 PG. It has a useful range of up to forty meters, target dependent.
Your honor, as you can see here, the defendants have a weapon that is blatantly better than the prosecutions. It is less fitting intensive, has higher range, higher DPS, and given server circumstances it's higher RoF can beat broken hit detection better than a shotgun.
Now, your honor, please read over exhibit C. It is a maximum HP comparison between scouts and heavies. The hotfix charlie defendants will have HP upward of 1866.6. That does not factor in at all the splash resistances and other resistances granted to the heavy. Now compare that to the maximum HP of the Amarr scout: 1026.7.
While that number is field-tested to be a ****** scout, we will prosecute with the notion that it is as viable as any fit.
Now your honor seeing as how the heavy fits the HMG and the scout fits the shotgun:
Prosecution is outranged, outdps'd, and out HP'd by the heavy. Your honor even should we consider the radar advantage of the prosecution & other realistic factors the realism of a scout using 1026.7 HP is not there. We are considering these two, the prosecution & the defendant, mano y mano. Realistically the prosecution could gain the first strike your honor, but the realism of this fit in particular is just not there making the HP gap all the more greater and the advantage all the more so in favor of the defendant.
Prosecution rests your honor.
