How much secondary damage vs main guns does a ship need to do for you to consider using it as a secondary ship?

I'm curious at when players are happy enough with a ship's secondaries to spec into them.

I play a lot of PVE so it's a lot easier to get damage out of them but i'm bored of schlieffen and libertad so i'm trying other ships with various results.

For example, is half the damage from secondaries good enough for you? What about just a third?

Can we please have this adorable camo on something higher tier than a konigsberg? It's a shame to keep it this low tier

I love the option to auto assign skills but will we ever get a solution for the mutually exclusive skills? I hate having to wait until i can select them before i can enable the auto assign

Is the deathshrieker rocket launcher good against infantry or not? I keep using it and i still can't tell

I know this sounds like a question someone new to chaos dwarves would ask but i've done plenty of campaigns on the hardest difficulty with them.

It's just that when it comes to this unit's effectiveness vs infantry, man i just can't tell.

My guess is that this unit is supposed to be the middle ground between dreadquakes (best vs infantry) and hellcannons (best vs large). So you take the deathshrieker to have a more jack of all trades.

Well i'm perfectly happy with their performance vs large units but i just can't make up my mind if they are worth even bothering to target infantry. They seem to miss more than dreadquakes due to smaller splash area and their few direct hits aren't that impressive either.

Whoever decided you can't attack a settlement with flying bombers until you build a battering ram needs to go in the book

Everyone says Sicilia and Siegfried aren't worth it, especially as secondary ships. Well i bought them and i can say that...

...everyone is right.

"High secondary gun efficiency" my ass.

I thought it might work out since i only play them in asymmetric. Nope, they are still not worth it.

The secondary damage is just pathetic even shooting enemies 2 tiers lower.

I don't get what these ships are doing in the research bureau. You'd think more interesting/special ships are there, since it takes so long to get one.

In case anybody else is on the fence about buying either of these 2 ships, just save your research bureau points. They really are pointless. What they do, other ships do better and are much easier to get.
