BIG guns

The problem I am having is that there are few class 9 guns that match velocity with nomads and specials. Seems one must either go with Salamanca, or Tizona's. There are also NO 600 velocity guns with 8.33 fire rate, at least not any that I'd mount next to a nomad blaster.

Why is velocity so important? Most know that mixing velocities can really hose your accuracy, and cause you to hit with one gun type and not the other. I'd hate to be hitting with a pair of Skyblasts while my 4 nomads are being flung behind the target.

My biggest beef is I LOVE the skyblasts, and feel that they are quite useless on a VHF. The only gun that pairs with them are the Reavers, Buckshots, and Krakens... thought the Krakens are 50m/s slower... putting them in the nose will help balance out the difference if the faster skyblasts are firing from a vector on the wings....

....so if I had a questions it would be...

Do you folks think velocity is as significant as I do?

seems it would make the most difference at long range. A target inside 200 meters probably doesn't matter.

Speed is important. More than 50m/s dif is a problem.
The big problem with this is matching turrets.

However, this is the wrong forum for this topic.
