This one of my favorite ships. My last resort weapon. Named her Angry Bird One.

The A2 might not have a medbay, but the new Pisces variant does, and it can probably fit in the cargo bay.

As always, a well executed video, hats off to you sir

[bosunhawk]

I do love my A2. Even got the A2 plushie to live in the cockpit and travel with me.

[Lkias]

The Krull reference …. One of my childhood favs …. Classic man, I love it

[zoneyxj]

Did I catch a Warhammer reference in there? All praise the Omnissiah! Great video as usual!

Larger ships will probably be best treated similar to real life warships. You’ll want each crew member to have 2 tasks. Now some of the tasks are always important so jobs like a medic will be full time but things like cooks and maintenance personnel can double as gunners in combat.
Also balancing factors for the A2 are Size 9 torps from that blind spot and anti air fire. While ground defenses might not have a good chance of destroying the A2, they do have a decent chance of hitting its bombs as it drops them and if you hit one even a few seconds after it’s dropped, the A2 will be caught in the blast and the ground might be safe

I like these ships but I can’t wait until the Spirits come out.

About Time the A2 get s proper review great work and I do hope the blades can man all the turrets. Really difficult to find players( that's not a murderous hobo that will kill us all for no reason) to bring it firepower at full strength

[Ludiks]

I love my A2, it's a real monster with lot of firepower ! ^^

[anferFFmax]

For me the options were clear. I love the C2, but my needs required that I have the M2 instead for my cargo hauler. The reasons being that HRTs missions are a breeze with the M2, and you can even bring a friend to have him/her on that nose turret while having all the cargo space you need. And I also needed the A2, for all the reasons you listed. I see both ships as essential for my fleet! While the C2 is neatly in the "nice to have" category. I have a C2 as a loaner for my Merchantman. So I get to enjoy all 3.

[eltreum]

I love my C2, it also makes a fun snub fighter carrier for 6 Merlins/Archies. The M2 is a nice step up for ground assault teams but the A2 with all those belly guns makes it like a bomber and dominate ground targets like the real C-130 Hercules. I would not trust AI blades for PvP except as sentry/point defense when crew is off ship or busy with something else. The A2 pilot is the bomb operator for now supposedly until all the new HUD UIs and player to player HUD casting is in because the concept had it as a separate station. The bombardier's station is supposedly that system access terminal on the forward port-side bomb launcher. The Polaris torpedo room operator is planned to be similar. Stations will have to coordinate and mark HUD targets for each other for certain tasks and time things right on multi crew ships which helps balance their damage if they suck at teamwork and eliminates some of the solo troll suicide bombers.

[Jambotec]

I always love your videos, keep it up dude :)

[fuentessetneuf]

I was actually planning to get the C2 in this next IAE. Looking forward to getting this in my hangar.

[flinx]

+1 upvote just for the Krull movie reference lol. but great content as always!

[nickizcool]

IM ABOUT TO CLICK THE BUY RIGHT NOW! I’m buying the A2, and the wildfire.

[knockdoun]

Wish they would allow different payloads on the Eclipse

[durtyred]

By far one of my favorite combat ships. And ironically enough, I have plans for it in AND out of combat. People underestimate this ship and by default, think that it's a niche ship... It isn't. It's going to be a flexible vessel in several areas. Combat, logistics and support to name a few. I've been painstakingly playing the CCU game with one of my BMM's for the last couple years to try and squeeze the price down to under $350 for this behemoth. So far so good. Things will probably come to a close and the A2 will permanently be in my hangar this IAE. I'm sure the BMM will get another boost to it's cost during the event. Also, I think we will see bombing missions in the game sooner or later in the same way that we see bounty missions and such. Getting paid to drop the payload on someone sounds like a fun time to me!! 😁

[dunkanlord]

imagine been able to place nuke in place of normal explosive in place of that bomb :D, could be incriteible in far future when you could and if you could make some crazier costumisation with ships

[Grim-HEX]

today I learned that pressing T marks the spot... this whole time I have been lining up the 2 circles by vision alone
