Since there's no thread up in the actual gaming section for the FWL, I'll ask here.
What are people's thougts regarding the Gotha-100? Most folks probably look at the low speed and heat sinks and see a deathtrap, but I think it could be useful as a pocket heavy fighter, preferable paired with Stingrays, and maybe later with Lancers as well. First few turns of a fight, it pours LRMs into the enemy, hopefully softening up targets, or outright killing some of those annoying interceptors. When the LRMs are dry, it flies into the furball, behaving as a sort of wall to guide the fight. Since almost everyone can outfly it, and nobody wants to be hit by it, moving your Gothas first creates zones where you know the enemy will not want to be. Since almost everyone can get out of those zones, they will, but may not be pointed in an ideal direction. This leaves openings for your faster dogfighters to exploit and go for side or tailshots. If someone tries to tail the Gotha, it has more than enough firepower fore or aft to take care of itself, plus enough armor to last for a long time.
Long story short, the Gotha becomes a slow-moving anvil that your force your enemy to dance around, and if you do it right, you can consistently choose the tune of said dance.
Thoughts?
[edit]Huh, turns out we get the -400 and -500 series planes as well. The sopeed is nice, but I think I'd still use them in the same role, or as partners to true heavy fighters.
