With so much slant one way or the other about the war in these last 2 months I've decided to just look at the killboards once a day.
What I notice about the BoB killboard is they hi-lite battleships killed, and every day the ratio is something amazingly extreme such as BoB kills 50 battleships for losing about 5-10 BS.
So, my question is this: is this really true that day after day BoB kills 5-10 times more bs than their enemies?
Also when BoB lost so many regions, were there battles that crushed them with huge losses or did they just pull back and abandon territory without losing mass amounts of ships?
I know this COAD forum has degenerated pretty low this last 2 months, and I'm not trying to bring this lower. This is not a propaganda thread but a search for information and comments on the current war.
This seems like a reasonable question, so i will give you a reasonable answer.
first, yes the bob killboard is extremely accurate, but in any bob fleet around 10-15% is made up from friendly alliances/corps, you can get an indication of this fro looking at fleet compositions in the fleet battles feature on the bob killboard.
BoB have lost many regions [Fountain, Omist, Feyth, Eso, Querious (most of), Period Basis (most of), Tenerifis (a station or two)], most of those reasons were the logisitcs to fight on multiple fronts over so many regions were to great adnw e couldnt keep up with them, they spread our fleet thin and we did have the numbers or the firepower to take the fight to the hostile forces. BoB then withdrew back to its main stonghold. Then at least 10 alliances from the north took fountain pretty much without a fight (until Y-2 which is still being contested), a few factors decided this, mainly logistics and i will not go into the rest on a public forum. MC then turned on the agreement they had with BoB and decided to take period basis for themselves (fighting is still continuing in TPAR). ragoons, IAC, AAA (insert at least 10 other alliances in here) then took most of querious, again mostly unchallenged (a few big fights in FAT ans 25s), in the end they were surrended without a concluding battle.
that is the vague history, currently BoB have been holding quite well and getting massive battles everyday. There has been a lot of lag, it is easy to blame lag for a loss, and over the last few weeks bob really hasnt lost a major battle so you will hear some of the coalition blaming fleet loses on lag, but we both have to fight in lag, sure the advantage is for the defender, but the numbers most times are at least 2:1 in favour of the coalition, and as Terra showed up north yesterday the attacking force should be able to easily outgun a defending force when the attacking force has 2:1 numbers. So tactics, logistics and skill plays a big part in fleet battles.
i have ranted on for way too long.
hope i answered your question though
Cheers Cam
