the Design of the VCD is a poor combat design, more than 60% of its fire power is on its forward weapons mount which is on a thin shaft. about a third as thick as the warlocks mid section, not to mention the fact that its a HUGE target and shoudlnt be hard at all to hit, one volly from the forward guns on the Warlock would cripple a VCD if it struck its neck.
cut the head from a snake and it cant bite you.
any competent commander would fear a Sharlin more than a VCD, the Sharlins at least have the design and manuverability to be a more dangerous threat.
a Sharlin could do the Same to a VCD as well.
and i hope no one mentions the main gun, any VCD captain stupid enough to use the main gun in such a fight deserves the swift and sure death he going to get for thinking it possible.
