[Androgeos Exeunt]

I'm not a huge fan of strike bombers, though. I'd prefer more exciting stuff like the Ursa, with its gun placements.

* Androgeos Exeunt likes to terrorise a Shivan by using the triple guns on a GTB Ursa to take pot shots.

[Stormkeeper]

You can't actually do that on higher difficulties, especially not against Dragons.

Dragons are hard to hit even with a buch of nukes under your wings... you'll have a hard time hitting it (maybe with a big BIG net)

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Meh, I'm referring to the main campaign only, where you can fly an Ursa against wave after wave of Basilisks on Slaying Ravana.

Against a Dragon? Hmm...I won't take a bomber, definitely. I might fly the Pegasus.

[Stormkeeper]

I'd just bait the Dragon into range of a friendly Aeolus.

Aeolus = Fighter's worst nightmare

[Stormkeeper]

I made a 0 miss facter stab beam, and tested it on an Aeolus against 90 dragon fighters.

All the Dragons snuffed it?

[Stormkeeper]

Totally. The Aeolus got them even when they were doing their fancy slides.

Like,

*PEW*
*BOOM*

[Iranon]

Shivan fighters suck when having to fight near enemy capital ships: Their paper-thin hulls mean they get chewed up by anti-fighter beams, and they lack the firepower to strike a telling blow in the short time before that happens.

However, taking a bomber against Dragons seems... problematic. Actually an Ursa might do best here simply because its turret deals more damage than the 5 Heavy Laser of the Dragon combined (can't keep them in my sights even with light bombers).

Still, I'd argue that Dragons are slightly overrated and that a Loki can fight them on close to even terms; 3 times the firepower has to count for something.

we talk alike... ^^

commands says that you should concentrate on the fighters and let our warships do their job...
but I like watching the accion so I just make them bite my rear for a coulple of secs and then head to the caps

that made me think about the last one of the missions in FS2 campaign..

[Androgeos Exeunt]

that made me think about the last one of the missions in FS2 campaign..

...Clash of the Titans II? We've got four Aeoluses and fighter wings protecting a GTD Orion #2 loaded with Meson warheads.

BTW, what's the quote in NGTM-1R's sig from?  Sounds interesting.

Campaign concept I'm working on.

...Clash of the Titans II? We've got four Aeoluses and fighter wings protecting a GTD Orion #2 loaded with Meson warheads.

That is one of the worst missions to show case the abilities of the Aeolus class cruisers, imo.

not that one, the last mission, the one with the supernova.

you'll notice that while you are having fun with the bombers a wing of dragons jumps in and gets some fun out of your wingmen... and it's pretty hard to chase bombers without wingmates so I tend to drag those dragons near the deadelus (the deimos, really dont remember the actual name) so my wingmen can help me take the bombers down (the suck but it's a help)

[blowfish]

The Deimos was the Lemnos.

[Stormkeeper]

I have come to a conclusion: among cannon fighters, the Dragon reigns supreme because of its maneuverability.

[Jeff Vader]

I'd be intimidated if Dragons had cannons. Pardon, but I tend to whine if a typo misspelling actually changes the meaning of the word.

[Snail]

Typos are accidental, that was just a misspelling.
