(Removed the Description section (there is none in the game) and added an opening description. I thought I should try something slightly different for once.)

The major trouble with all "slash" type beams is that they are inconsistent. The beams tend to slash past their target, sometimes inflicting more or less damage, whereas solid beams, however statistically inferior, either hits or misses, and usually hits. As far as slash beams, go the VSlash is pretty good, and the GVCv Sobek often uses them to good effect.


Unlike the Terran version, this one packs a meaner punch, and while there is debate on whether the TerSlash is stronger than the Shivan SRed, here there is less of a debate as the VSlash does do more damage. In the mission Speaking in Tongues, a Sobek corvette is pitted against an SCv Moloch and despite the Moloch's SReds pointing at the Sobek, the Sobek can overwhelm the Moloch using only its VSlash turrets.
