While making mission #3 in
All Hands To War TM, i came across a question, for a shivan reinforcement/strike squad, would you rather see;
- 1 Demon+3 wings of fighters?
- 3 Liliths+2 fighter wings+1 bomber wing?
- 5 Cains+2 fighter wings+3 bomber wings?
now my reasons of debate...
Demon;
pros: big, many turrets, strong
cons: slow, one target for friendly ships and mass firings
3 Liliths;
pros: strong, fair speed, friendly forces must split to cover both
cons: lack of many turrets
5 cains;
pros: overwhelming number of shivan ships, many turrets, individual placements, must spread assets to attack
cons: weak
these are to be pitted against 1 leviathon, Alpha(4 Hercs) and 8 Ursas with tsunamis and harbs.
the demon lasted 100 seconds and killed the leviathon and one ursa plus me when i was hit by it arriving... (brings back memories about; Dive! Dive! Dive! Hit your burners, Pilot! :D)
the liliths wiped out the ursas and the levaithon, but died when the terran backup (an orion) arrived
The cain group took out all the ursas and the leviathon, they put a siseable dent in the orion but were taken out fairly easily by one additional leviathon with the orion...
so tell me what you would like to see... if i can get good feedback the campagain will start moving again... also, if someone wants to see the mission firsthand or test others tell me...
THIS IS FOR FS1, SO NO BEAMS ARE INVOLVED...
