Satav Latinum Exports 38	Posted - 2011.10.05 16:35:00 - [1] - Quote Hello all, I'm a young FC with lots to learn. I have a good grasp of all ships/roles and basic fleet warfare. However i have a lot to learn about tactics and would like your input. How would you counter the follow enemy fleets? Drake blob + support , logi Alpa Pest fleet + support, logi T3 armor fleet Hellcat fleet (arti or pulse) + logi support Welpcane fleet + logi support Standard Armor medium range BS fleet Ty in advance for all your comments.

Dradius Calvantia Creative Cookie Procuring Rote Kapelle 27	Posted - 2011.10.05 19:48:00 - [5] - Quote Why would any one help you out with this? 90% of being an FC is learning the effective fleet doctrines and figuring out how to counter.

King Rothgar Autocannons Anonymous 17	Posted - 2011.10.05 21:19:00 - [7] - Quote Basically all fleets fall into one of two categories, brawlers and kiters. The art of dissimilar combat is forcing the other side to fight on your terms. Regardless of if you are the kiting side or the brawler side, it comes down to maneuvering, exploiting any mistakes on the other side and a fair bit of probing. I consider sniper ships kiters for obvious reasons even if they don't have a speed mod fitted. They kite by on grid bookmark warping instead of mwding around. At point blank, brawlers will crush kiting ships and at range the brawlers will never catch the kiting ships. This is assuming no one makes a mistake, which does happen. In fact a mistake is how you catch the opposing fleet in such a matchup. In any case, your standard drake blob is basically a compromise of the two methods and the only one worth really discussing. They have the range of kiting ships combined with the tanks of brawlers. What they don't have is the raw dps of brawlers or the raw speed/agility of true kiting ships. As such, the counter is to get in close and nuke them if you can. The standard medium range BS fleet is actually a brawler BS fleet. You're just taking advantage of the extended range of amarr and minmatar turrets in that case as opposed to the point blank range slugging match a mega pilot would prefer. There isn't a lick of difference between a point blank abaddon and a medium ranged one. They just load scorch instead of conflag in the latter case.

Reading Sun Tzu's work is a good thing to do. It's short and was typed into the Planetside Art of War Forum where you can do a search on Art of War. The board won't let me post a link directly to the article. The thing to understand about SunTzu is that he was making his career as a military consultant and it made him seem smarter to write a book of clever aphorisms - which is what he did. A better work On War was written by Cal von Clausewitz - but it's an extensive work requiring some actual study. Both works are of course extensively misused by people to prove whatever point they're trying to make ... so ... when someone says "According to ..." whomever ... look it up yourself rather than take their word for it. As to the use of military history in playing computer games ... sure ... it doesn't hurt ... but you really need to understand the computer game and can get by on that. If you do understand the game - then a background in military history can give you an impression of the types of things which might translate to the games mechanics but is no easy road to victory. Someone who understands nothing about military history but understands the game better than you do - is still probably going to beat you. shrug

Metal Icarus xHELLonEARTHx Rookie Empire 3	Posted - 2011.10.07 16:16:00 - [16] - Quote All those types of fleets sounds like CTA fleets meant for SOV defence or offence.... Not exactly a beginning FC's assignment... Those type of fleets require SPECIFIC counters (for instance, a tempest fleet folds like paper when u hot drop in a bunch of falcons ("because of falcon" the shield logi) and stealth bombers... LOTS OF BOMBERS (this tactic can be used against any BS fleet really) I am a beginning FC myself and I try to fly with those CTA fleets whenever I can for the experience. FYI, all those fleets are not specific to any alliance. They each have specific advantages and drawbacks. Find those draw backs and EXPLOIT THE **** OUT OF IT.

Elise Randolph Habitual Euthanasia Pandemic Legion 25	Posted - 2011.10.07 18:20:00 - [19] - Quote For whatever reason people assume FCing is hard, it's really not, Just do it, you'll be better and probably have fun.
Karn Dulake Souls Must Be Trampled The.Alliance 24	Posted - 2011.10.07 23:33:00 - [20] - Quote SunTzu. The Art of war should be called "stating the obvious and being in the right place at the right time" Forget the logistics required. Being a young FC requires only one thing. Dont get burned out. These game just melts through FCs. When you win you are God, when you lose you are the worst FC ever in the history of EVE. forget about those. Drake fleets = something arti in Minnie battleship. Supercaps = something Arti in Minnie battleships (you need a lot of minnies) The rest....im sure you will work it out as you go along Good luck and dont worry as for all the haters there are very few that would be an FC
