Default Re: Fighter group size

I see your point when fighting crtain armour types, but are you sure large Groups are better against PDC than small ones? If playing tactical I prefer to launch fightrs in small Groups, or even one at a time.

Think about it - if a PDC (or any other weapon) does 50 damage, and each fighter takes 30 damage, 20 of that damage is wasted against a single fighter, but all 50 is used against a group:

In other words it would take 9 hits to destroy 9 single fighters, but only 6 hits to waste 9 groupd fighters.





You are correct in this point, but there is no fighter group launch possibility of one, so you would have to do this manually!! And I don't want to think about the time it takes to move and fire all these sigle fighters.
