I'm still wondering why the OP didn't take 10 of their BSs, warp to a gate/planet/asteroid belt/whatever. Then warp back in at 100-150km, call a target and one-volley a few of those nanos. You only had to kill one or two and the others would have panicked and scattered. If they attack the other fleet, they are in range of the original fleet's longer-ranged ships.
Unless everything was plated blaster boats, in which case I recommend you evaluate taking a mixed fleet next time. Maybe with remote reppers, support ships, etc. One trick fleets normally turn into wrecks against a better-prepared enemy.... |

It also makes the battleships themselves more vulnerable since they won't have the tracking to hit the smaller ships once they have closed at all, which might give the nano-ships a very strong absolute dps advantage.
If the BSs in the OP's situation can't handle 5 nanos with their friends within rep range, they were going to die anyways. The snipers WILL destroy any nanos that remain to fight and if they turn to engage the remote snipers then they contend with the group they just left.
All of life isn't 1-10km. If you don't adjust your tactics, you will die. Simple enough.
THAT is why people don't like nanos; the tried-true plated blaster setups can't fight them effectively and you have to alter your fittings to a more rounded approach. |

we are talking about the snipers...
These are remote-rep snipers then? My, what great tracking and damage they have?
There is a reason no one but Bruce does this[hint: its the worst of both worlds]
I have always wondered why you are fairly bright on most topics but go completely cookoo about Nanos. You always go way out of the way to "prove" your point, making your whole argument get buried in the non-sense.
Obviously you don't mount remote reppers on your ships. Strange, I thought that was a fairly common practice to use your extra highs for most of our war enemies have. I mean we even mount them on our mission ships and turtle our newer members so they aren't in any danger when we don't feel like bringing out the logistics ships to protect them.

Shhh! You're reducing the number of possible targets. They need to spread out. Way out. Things like remote reps on battleships which require close ranges are overrated.
Advising heavy ships that can't move fast to spread out and also the use of modules like remote reps which are very close range isn't a contradiction.
I was debating that myself :(
Being a skirmish centric pilot I was quite tempted to leave that alone >_>
~ 8500 km range on larges. Max 50% on a vaga is... some 22km? By using a lattice formation you can easily keep 3-4 remote reps on each ship in a gang of 30 (the OP's *****-complaint) while covering enough distance to be far enough away from the extremities that your guns can track them at that range. Even with 5 BSs you can cover a 15km area easily, making the ships come within web range if they circle and requiring the nano pilots to actually fly their ships. Of course that actually requires the defending gang to fly their ships too, get in a formation, be aware of their FC, etc and not just F1-F8...
But the OP's point of them being able to pop a Mega with just 5 nanos is about silly. That is telling me they didn't have any support at all, no ability to back each other up, no ewar, etc. Its full of stupidity and stupid people SHOULD die.

I should have said Mega in a WAR gang of 30 ships...
