Heavies are light so opponent may need to use true range 3 warships for skirmishing against shielded 2.5 movement layers. Just check that your layers lay heavies fewer or as lot as standards.

That points to another advantage, on skirmish and stealth operations high speed can be neccesary and its difficult(skirmish) or foolish(stealth) to supply fuel to such ships in great amouts.

I just don't understand, why heavies should be laid in fewer or equal numbers like normals. Of course heavies alone are not very useful, but both on mini and bigmine layer hulls it would mean leaving slots empty if you want to put heavies and normals in and balance both. Does that realy drop cost significantly enough?
(I'm still tempted to fill all slots on every ship, it'll take some time to get that tendency away - or someone beating me with half equiped BBs)
