SEV Tactical Combat Impressions

[tmcc]

I find this much more difficult in SEV than SEIV though. In an early game the only long range weapon is the missile. Missiles are now much weaker than their SEIV counterparts. I am currently using CSM lvl 5 and they only do 80 points damage. The enemy frigates have 345Kt of structure 140 of which is armor. My missile frigate has 3 missiles so their first voley only does 40Kt of damage. on top of that by the time they actually fire the missiles and turn around to run the enemy is within DUC range. Ussually the missile ship only gets one more shot, at most, before it dies, leaving a damaged but living enemy behind. While typing this I just realized that I need to put the engines in the front of a missile boat.

Bottom line is that, for me, tactical is much less useful than is SEIV and as such takes away a HUGE portion of the enjoyment I got from the game.
