Re: Carrier strike Groups
I love fighters myself, and I utilize them quite frequently in my games. When the AI starts equipping their ships with PD, I start launching my fighters in Groups of 1 via the Lauch Units, Move One button...yes, it takes awhile, and yes, controlling some odd 20 to 100 individual fighters can be a tedious experience, but I win, and plus its just cool to see that huge swarm of fighters. Why do I do it this way? Well, the main reason is PD, especially the higher levels, can take out multiple fighters if they are stacked. Sorry, but if I'm gonna use those things, you're going to have to take them out one at a time =) No easy breaks with me. The AI usually doesn't have the firepower to take out my fighters fast enough, especially since I equip the mediums and heavies with ECM. I usually prefer the Small fighters because they are cheap, I can crank them out fast, and losing them is no big deal. I arm my carriers with heavy and large weapons, and provide a barrage of long range firesupport from behind my screen of fighters, and I shield the carriers well. What does this all add up to? Very dead enemies. =)
