[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] However, there's something to be said for sheer bulk: a modern destroyer could pound a WWII battleship for the better part of a week, until her Harpoon magazines ran empty, and the battleship would simply ignore the pitiful little missiles and approach to the range of her main guns, fire one shell and reduce the destroyer to aluminum toothpicks. As ships get more compact, they also get optimized to fight more compact adversaries... The Kazon behemoths may be respectable adversaries to more modern vessels simply because of lots of body armor, or because of primitive but HUGE and NUMEROUS and thus powerful shield generators. Also, a chronological difference may turn the tables in other ways as well: ancient weapons might take modern defences by surprise. See the tommy-gun against the Borg, or imagine a light WWII bomber raiding a modern airbase whose missiles refuse to lock onto the wooden toyplane and whose interceptors cannot match the speed or turning radius or ground-hugging maneuvers of the intruder...
