Lo mate,

As you guys were flying Air Cav on Sunday you had a good view of what was coming from the warpgate and an overview of the battles around Ran.

If you can recall, can you list the enemy units the came through in chronological order on Esamir - I don't mean listing every tank at every minute, just a simple list of 1st unit type, 2nd unit type etc... also any tactics you noticed being used by those units would be great. Would be useful in anticipating enemy actions in the future.

Thanks http://www.werneralliance.58thmarinecorp.net/skins/NC/emoticons/smirk.gif

I got this PM from Munkhi and would like to help him....but I was pretty much zooming around chatting with Command and trying not to crash into any trees. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers,

Initially. at the Warpgate I think it was just a Lib and a mossie. Then a Gal came through (not sure if it was full). He made a run for it but got shot down, as did a few individual mossie/reavers.
Then a few Mag Riders turned up. Eventaully I think they realised they wern't going to get anywhere without tacliking our air cav, so they sent a few mag's, air cav, skyguards and an AA Max or two. With this they made headway to our air tower. From then on I can't remember, apart from someone suggesting we leave the tower, unfortunatley I got shot down before I could get away.

What we needed IMHO was a few vehicles capable of tackling their AA and a few lodestars around for repairs. If you lost your reaver you could only get a mossie, and once they had the tower covered by AA you had nowhere to repair/rearm.

I saw a few random aircave guyes comming, then later a full Gal. We shoot down there Gal 2 times. After that I just think those in the Gal took Aircrafts/AA to counter oure AirPlatoon and the zerg/instant action guyes followed.

What would we do if oure gal was shoot down twice by a known TS Airplatoon in the area and 50%+ of the RL's had Aircave/AA?

I think in short if we are gonna do a Airplatoon again we should have a few following AA Flight BFR. Even if we go to another cont the BFR can catch up and be effective when the enemy starts pulling aircrafts and AA in nr.

The main VS attack Formed at Vidar

I think they came through a bound to Vidar and then got maxs out to defend the base and a BFR while the troops loaded up hardware to push on US.

They took there tower very quickly and 1 thing I have noticed is that the VS have Cloakers ready to take towers back.

Also Air cav is not RL's best option.

Some are very good but I know not all of us actually like to fly planes.

We like to jump out of them

The force that pushed from the warpgate to the air tower contained at least a magrider and an AA BFR, and an AA MAX. We could maybe have taken them, but at that point we were spread out engaging air targets. They cut thought us, and the call wisely went out to abandon the tower.

Basicly, the enemy reailised we had heavy aircover, so adapted to take us out. We only realy regained the initiative when we abandoned the air units and took the fight to them.

But then, this is only my fish-eyed view of things.
