The fight last night was a good one (the lag was horrible, however modules did activate within 30 seconds of clicking, which in the scope of things in not that bad, only had about 1-2 fps though which made targetting very difficult).
I don't know exact battleship numbers. Bob brought a great PVP force to H8 last night, that cannot be denied. It was not a slaughter at the gates, though BOB did get more kills, and some of our losses came at the hands of their POS when we went to try to support the dreads (I know mine did). The loss of our dreads made the loss of the H8 engagement definitive, but like everything else, they can be replaced (though this does not minimize the loss).
I for one gained respect for Bob's PVP abilities last night tbh. They simply had more firepower then we did (I believe all their BS's were T2 fitted). They moved fast and were able to warp to and engage the dreads while they engaged us at the gates. (so in this case it was not a problem with FC's or tactical positioning, it was simply being outgunned by a very good PVP force).
Bob typically likes to fly hacs + ceptors, we setup to deal with these types of ships. This fight they brought a lot of T2 bs's in which we were not equipped to handle (this was our fault). It was a great fight, and local smack was non existent, it's just shame that the smack free polite comments in local cannot translate to these forums.
No major PVP force is born, they are created. If you cannot learn from your losses then you will never get better. We plan to learn from our losses and yes, sometimes we are getting a crash course in PVP.
We never went into this war thinking Bob was going to be easy (at least I didn't). Bob got their reputation for being a PVP powerhouse, not by mining, but by doing what they are great at, PVP. I do find it amusing that other people (non bob) like to talk badly about ASCN given the fact that typically they...
1) Don't control any space of their own 2) Have been beaten by forces much smaller and less skilled then Bob. 3) In any enagements they have been in, they simply hide in stations.
But again, we will learn from this engagment, and the H8 POS will be removed. Again respect for Bob in their abilities on the battlefield last night.
Props for accepting the loss calmly and responding with firm determination.
