The spread has been very noticeably improved, even when rushing or running and shooting in front or behind.

Together with the change in damage consistency, even with lower maximum damage this will give at least the same AVERAGE damage. I think this is very good news. I hope, though, that this doesn't make the Kaiser OP...

I've played a few battles with the Kaiser today. All of those battle were played in GBs and I must say that I have never won so many battles in GB using my Kaiser. 
Thanks to the patch also this BB6 is more independent of its team, like the others.

The Kaiser felt really good, very decent spread and the damage was all right aswell. Sadly I haven't encountered many decent BB6 plays versus me in the GBs, so it is still difficult to tell whether she is overpowered in linefights now. The games I had in another BB6 vs the Kaiser wasn't too difficult either. Right now I think the spread is a bit too good.

I hope to do a BB6 only battle soon, or otherwise I'll test her in a HA/HD, so that I have a better clue of how good she's actually is in linefights.

Its nice the way it is, thank you for making it the way it should have been =)

If you take the time to read old forum data you will see that spread and accuracy have long been problematic as has the damage.

These have been fixed... hence its now how it should have been...  

Below you will find the picture of the spread from before and after.

You will notice the main difference in the spread, better spread consistent and the cost of damage nerfed. Quite justified when you are less likely to get trolled by the RNG factor from the game. It is personally more confortable knowing your shells will land because you know where to aim, and not "I aim but I missed because of spread".

Again, the idea is not to make a blockshot monster or super tight. Spread wise is good at line fighting but horrible when it comes to rush/run. I believe the following testing and evidence have shown enough information.

Pros:
Spread seems to be slightly better.
Armour penetration got better.

Cons:
Damage got redeced too much, it seems to be somewhere between bb4-5 damage range.
I did some fire testing with my friend, kaiser to kaiser side to side @ 40 degree angle.
Our 100% hit salwos on live server was:

39943 41921 34432 38003 46077 46656 50091 49905 49992 49069 49530 44666 44646 44322 41707 40090 41986

Which gives 44296 medium damage.

To compare we have tested also other bb6.

In my opinion Kaiser's damage should get buffed so the medium damage would be somewhere around 50k, right now it's awful. It's not a punch it's a slap...
I've played few GBs and I felt like i would play bb3-4 with bb6 range :/
If someone use his brain and manuver it's realy very unlike to land a 100% salvo from Kaiser, even after it's spread buff, which means that you can count on something around 20k damage max, which in my opinion is poor.

On the other hand Nebraska used to be good HA fighter against armoured oponents. Right now it may have some hard time fulfiling this role after decreasing shell mass from 1750 to 1480. (11.6" deck L2 absolutely bounced all of my salvos).
