For Thrawn's Revenge, 1. When dealing with SSDs, bring a large fleet in tight formation in a corner of the map. 2. Wait for all fighters to launch, then send them against the SSD. With enough bombers and proton torpedo-equipped fighters, you can bring those shields down before the SSD engages your fleet. 3. Wait until the shields are down, set all fighters to hunt, and set your fleet to attack. Make sure to have corvettes and frigates up front; that way, they can shoot down those massive missile salvos before they hit your fleet. You'll likely lose several corvettes this way, but it buys time for your smaller ships to engage, and you can pause the game and order ships to fire on individual hardpoints. 4. Concentrate on missile hard points first. 5. Enjoy the fireworks

[@phoenixgamer3126]

That's my strategy especially on Mustafar with X-1's SSD

[@lainesprowl5582]

Hell I once mostly killed the mustafarian SSD with Fighters

[@gio12377]

I prefer to just throw an ssd at the enemy and if it dies I always carry a second

[@Kyzen_Wrell]

For me it was always use Medium/Heavy Cruisers and surround the SSD. By hyperspacing them in all at once they can’t be alpha striked by the SSD. And they each draw fire while giving considerable return. Even better is when I have them space out firing arcs so the SSD can’t bring it’s full power to bare

[@keldabecc]

I once got invaded by a MC80 Home One and a few support ships. I didn't have a defending fleet. I only had a trade station and a fighter platform or whatever it's called. I also had an extremely small garnison of about 3-4 corvettes and a hypervelocity cannon on the ground. I took 2 of the corvettes and sent 1 to the right of the enemy fleet and one to the left to make the enemy chase them and buy myself as much time as I can before they reach my position. It worked quite well and I was able to destroy most support ships with the hypervelocity cannon. After the home one destroyed my stations I had no hope left but still kept trying. Since with corvettes you have minimal vision when the home one got in sight I shot the cannon and ran away. I kept using this startegy until the home one was destroyed losing only the stations and 2 corvettes against the enemy's entire fleet. Never felt this good playing this game.

[@greyfoxninja1239]

Wow, good thinking, I bet you sure were glad you built the gun!

[@lcdcstudios]

anyone who doesnt hover over units to see their purpose is destined to failure, more specifically if you just got the game or if there is a brand new update. intel is extremely important and if you forgot a ships exact purpose just hover over it for a few seconds to refresh yourself

[@brandnewguy906]

That’s literally not true at all. I have finished multiple Tharen’s revenge campaigns on cruel admiral right from the start. You can literally build capitals and dreadnoughts only and win easily. You can play hit and run early to mid game and late game you can literally stack fleets of predators +ISD’s and win any battle

[@palpadur1112]

as the Imperial Remnant or Pentastar Alignment, back when the fleet cap for ships on active duty was 40 points, i would build a lot of corvettes and have them carry a lot of probe droids close to planets i was about to invade. once the droid showed me what was above and on planet, i would send in a fleet with a corvette going first. after that, i would call in and send out corvettes in groups of two to draw out fighters across the map, careful to avoid any defense stations. once the fighters were in range, they would be quickly mowed down. i did this until most of all the enemy fighters were destroyed, then i sent in the big guns. it proved very effective as a spear thrust tactic, driving as far into enemy territory as possible before a response could be mounted. this was even more effective with Executor SSDs, because the game didn't go after them unless it had a huge fleet. it stayed *well* away from my Executor fleets regardless of what the station's level was. the New Republic was usually my biggest problem. i made a point to target them from the start, parking at least one ship above a planet, move on, and repeat a few times. i did this to keep any retaliation fleets as far as possible from my ground forces. i like to think that i annoyed the game as an Imperial, as much as it annoyed me with the New Republic. took me a while to figure out the Empire of the Hand when it first came out, but once i got a decent grasp on them, i started picking the New Republic apart. especially with the Hand's fighters and bombers, felt nice to give the game a taste of its own medicine.

[@nick-314]

"Only route to victory is the destruction of your enemy...obviously" Can you say that louder for Rose?

[@StarBornMichael]

Meh, I just build a big Armada and send at any fleet. And that includes SSD in any of thou fleets. And we'll I agree with most of this information. So far, some of this info, like Carrier, is a part of a Fleet. You should, but it depends on the ships.

Doesn't work in foc alliance as anti starfighter ships are deadly.

[@iamblight707]

Yeah bombers will rape a SSD on mass, while the carriers can stay away. Tactics do matter.

[@BrowncoatGofAZ]

When I played basic EAW I had a standard setup for my rebel fleets. 2 MC80s, 4 anti-fighter corvettes, and 2 artillery corvettes. I also kept ground side garrisons to 5 rebel soldiers and 5 missile squads. I had to change everything when I played FOC. My fleets changed to 1 MC80, 2 Anti-fighter corvettes, 2 artillery corvettes, and 13 b-wing squadrons, with more in reserve when attacking space stations. Ground side forces had to be replaced with T4Bs and torpedo artillery.

[@thelazarous]

NUMBER ONE TACTIC: think like Admiral Thrawn. Facing a Super ISD? Make it turn around and fire at its weaker rear, they don't turn fast so you should have shields down by the time it's heavy guns reach you. This gives you the best chance to destroy it's main weapons before it can start to deal real damage to your fleet.

[@Warchief416]

Not sure I agree with not bringing carriers into battle against an SSD. Sure they shouldn’t be in front line battle, but I’ve killed more than a few SSDs with the spawning fighters and bombers. Especially with the persistent damage now, swarming an SSD with bombers, doing damage, retreating then rinse and repeat becomes a hassle free way to kill SSDs

[@rebelappliance771]

I’m not that big into eaw anymore, but this was a goated video.

[@kylelantan9220]

It's been a spell since I've played the mod, so maybe I'm running on outdated info, but I usually have 25% of my fleet cap as carriers usually. Having the bombers knock down SSD hard points while your fleet holds off engaging can very easily lead to a low loss battle against them. Most of the time from my experience I will have the shields down and with micromanaging the bombers deal with 25% of the hard points before the SSD can get into range to engage my fleet. I'll play a little bit and update if the experience has changed much. But carriers for me are the thing you most want to bring against SSD's.

[@lainesprowl5582]

I tend to play mostly carriers or at least lots of carriers because I like using large fighter swarms they decimate pretty much any Fleet you can run into

[@The_Reclaimer]

Keep a large fleet on standby in a system that's one short jump away from front line worlds. When you hear "enemy fleet approaching" immediately pause the game and move the response fleet to the front line world that's about to come under attack. The AI usually cheats and brings forces to attack certain worlds that slightly outmatch the forces that they are attacking. By leaving front line systems mostly undefended this means that the AI will only send a force large enough to take your existing defenses on with an advantage determined by what difficulty you are playing on. When the AI fleet arrives you'll either decimate the entire attacking force or encourage the AI to retreat shortly after it sees the larger than expected defense fleet. So bring an interdictor and get ready to watch some rebels burn...

[@General_Savage]

I love more info about positioning on the map, in game, and even hot keys. Best defense practices, early game strategy, late game, how to use hero’s effectively, maybe even economic strategies…? Love these videos, often rewatch/listen to them along side with other KZbinrs videos.

[@nomar5spaulding]

"If you have a 1 size fits all approach" Yo I feel attacked.

[@robiagacitei5487]

My tactics as the new republic: I either build 75 nebulous Bs and send them in all at once, each carrying one fighter and bomber, they can decimate even SSD's, this is how I deal with any executor or any other ssd, and works perfectly, sometimes I also make 50 quasars.

[@jibrilamvs]

I generally use Thrawn hit and run tactics. Get in, destroy what I can/need to, then retreat and return.

[@nickgennady]

Doing that with eclipse is funny. Go in and take out like 25% of the fleet and use laser on big targets.

[@armandbernardcornet4572]

Does not work when the enemy waits for you to attack next to his station. And as soon as you drop in they will deploy dozens of interdictor mines, behind their lines and advance on you. Also if you keep waiting with your fleet they will send 2 waves of fightes and then hold back their last wave and wait for you to attack. And i had my Game on Easy mode. They really made the AI think like a player. Btw. I played the new FOTR mod.

[@DanY-mj4gl]

the carrier part makes sense everywhere except remake, where no matter what, carriers are useful because of the sheer damage they can do, with bombers ignoring shields, providing support on destroying a capital ship's key points and simply annihilating smaller vessels

[@chaoticclonestudios]

I would love to see you make a video about the best mods for beginners since it seems like all the popular mods add stuff that makes the game a bit more complicated some more than others

i still have so much to learn about this game. im used to more traditional rts games where you have to build buildings and such theres a lot more strategy that goes into this game than i ever realized when it first came out all those years ago. i figured id walk through everything but nope, i get my ass kicked a lot that i just play skirmish only for now lol

[@adrianjimenez4994]

Thrawn pincer and hit and run to weak a fleet combined with this allows to gain a great advantage againt even double sized fleets

[@Danxking]

I've killed entire fleets with just some corverts with retreat, bait some ships to the corner of the map, killed them, run and repeat

[@adrianjimenez4994]

you could do that+thrawn pincir and what you have a weak fleet that is out of position unable to fire to any incoming menace that apears pointing to the direction your ships apear.

[@aaronfine734]

I just do hit and run attacks with my star destroyers.

[@aaronfine734]

Fun fact if you just do constant hit and run attacks the enemy will never counter attack due to the ai prioritizing defense of their own planets. Please note that this strategy has not been tried with cruel ai

[@spartan078ben]

@@aaronfine734, I think the AI is set to attack after a certain number of victories from the player. Constantly retreating seems a good way to delay its attacks.

[@aaronfine734]

@@spartan078ben ya that could also be it. I also found that sometimes the ai will stop reinforcing the planet you are constantly attacking tho I'm not sure if this is due to the ai just running out of reasources to build ships or if the ai is doing a strategic retreat and grouping it's fleets together.

[@darthcaedus8813]

1:30 wait, what? against any SSD the only proper strategy is fighter swarming with ton falks or quasar fire's. If you counter an SSD with classic capital ships, it's clear you will suffer heavy losses

[@georgegodfrey8439]

For very large ships like SSDS or viscounts, I would go with the smaller ones. I would use large fleet of smaller ships like the Corvettes, gunboats, and fires.

[@pompuspig]

Fleet composition also matters alot. I tend to have a lot of bombers/fighters in support of my heavier ships . On defense i send out fighters to screen for enemy fighters, corvetts stay behind and guard the ships from bombers, corvette hunters knock out any corvettes that could shred my bombers. Bombers then focus on destroying special weapons, shields, and hangers in that order. After these sub systems are down on all enemy ships. My bombers/frigates knock them out 1 by 1. My offensive tactic is as follows. Deploy a few fighter squadrons to act as scouts. Once I know where the enemy fleet is, deploy my own ships as close as I can and engage at near point blank. It's a chaotic mess but one where I can get my bombers to knock out enemy ships without a problem. Another tactic is to deploy my fleet and set up a kill zone. Send a few fast corvettes to aggro the enemy fleet and then lead them into the trap. In all cases, hero units that provide a boost are priority targets.

[@kevinhamby2969]

I'll normally do a lot of this, but I only ever set two types of fleets, ones for offense and one for defense, I'll just max out the space defenses as quickly as I can on my frontier planets, while using my starter fleets to spread out evenly for defense, bolster those forces up over the next few turns then proceed to make one or two huge fleets for offense, pretty much having a lot of heavy cruisers, support, some carriers, heavy ships, pretty much a good bit of everything then just deploy them as I need them once the battle starts

[@averylee4302]

I disagree with your point on carriers being useless against SSDs. I consistently take down SSDs with zero losses by just showing up with 40+ light carriers and bombing them away. you just have to know where to put your carriers so that the AI has a hard time getting to them.

[@B1ackout850]

more tactics, im a pretty expierienced player but this is a video style i really like. good work boys

[@Omega_1111]

game is beating me across the board in fall of the republic. hard difficulty i had maybe 2 turns before i had a fleet with half a dozen praetors and a mandator II attacking one of my planets. switched to easy AI after that, now every attack the AI launches (at least 2-3 times per week) has at least 2 praetor or secutors. thankfully I killed the Mandator I early on so i didn't have to worry about it getting upgraded. at the moment, the only thing keeping me alive are 4 fleets that make up most of my unit cap, but i can't build any retaliation forces due to the fact that I am constantly getting hammered by battlecruisers, even subjugators don't last long because around every 2-3 weeks i get a massive attack with a half dozen mix up of praetors and secutors, along with a massive supporting fleet I couldn't even dream of building at this point.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Should work on my planned vanilla Galactic Conquest play as the Rebellion, most of these.

[@ronanwaring3408]

A good way to prepare and I'd say always do this is put 1 ship to come out of hyperspace first as if your coming from a planet kinda far away the enemy can easily reinforce with a much stronger fleet giving you the option to leave a fight with a max of 1 ship lost. Another thing that's a good idea more so if you can't bring extra fighters (Imp based) is to pull your bombers behind your main force (like a frigate sized gap at most) this will keep most alive while thinning there anti starfighter ships so you can then send them out when you need them most and they'll be more effective as they won't just get massacred

[@manuelt7432]

I started playing yesterday and i tried to learn by playing the tutorial an making strategys on the easiest mode i easily won whit few losses this was also usefull for a bit of time until the ai started bringing their fleet to strategic positions and i had to make my own tactica, I managed to win almost every battle whit a 100 kill rate

[@Mephisto579]

I send in smaller ships with support then send in the big guys to surprise the enemy. Many times playing as the empire my smaller ships and fighter carriers go in first and wipe out the enemy fighters while supported by vessels meant to kill fighters and capital ships. Once fighters are nearly gone I sweep in with a sovereign or the eclipse and take out their large vessels with the super laser.

[@gio12377]

The best strategy I’ve found is getting an ssd by itself behind enemy lines and destroying all their space stations through auto battles and when you encounter an enemy fleet to just retreat

[@AntonNight]

I ended up figuring out the best way to reduce territorial losses early on in a campaign of Thrawn’s Revenge. Move all fleets from worlds first to be targeted back one system. Reinforce them with fleets from worlds that are at little to no risk of being attacked. Suddenly a handful of ships becomes a few dozen that can hold the line and allow you to build up a reaction force with enough heavy firepower to retake the lost systems. And in the meantime: prioritize entrenching in on the first worlds to be hit. Get factories that can give you the heavy hitting units (artillery, air, etc) set up first, then max out the planetary garrison. The longer this planet holds, the longer it ties up enemy invasion plans for the next system- in my experience the AI hates leaving a system unconquered. Win a few defensive battles on the ground, get a liberation fleet in to clear up the skies, fortify the orbital defences and cycle in a secondary fleet to take up guard duty there. Launch counter attack. Keep the momentum high.

[@eriknixon131]

I also like to build whatever my factions equivalent of a Dreadnaught is deep into enemy territory and just mess with all the supply lines and ship production with a proper fleet pushing forward slowly.

Jump in a couple smaller ships on opposite sides of the map, and move them so your enemy is baited into splitting their forces. Then jump everything else in to destroy one of the groups, usually right on top of some of their fragile but valuable ships like dedicated carriers. If there's still too much to reliably destroy both groups just retreat once one is mostly pulverized and return a little later

Extra pro tip never put you ground and space fleets together keep them on different planets to not lose any

[@miqvPL]

When it comes to Thrawn Revenge: 1. check which ships do what. Heavy turbolasers on vessels do nice hull damage but are not as accurate as medium ones. Check recharge rates on cannons- it's what makes Tector and most importantly Battle dragons so deadly. Ships like Victory-I Star Destroyer have more accurate light turbolasers which allow them to take out smaller ships quickly, while Victory-II packs more heavy turbolasers that do very well against bigger targets. 2. when enemy ship has it's shields lowered target manually most deadly hardpoints there are first. Against an Imperial-II Star Destroyer you want to get rid of their 4 octuple medium turbolasers first. For Imperial-I Star Destroyer you want to take out their 2 double heavy turbolasers and triple medium turbolaser first. When you defang enemy ship (leaving them only weaker hardpoints) you can leave it on the battlefield and focus on other units. It will make a population block for your enemy, they won't be able to call in reinforcements because that half dead ship is going to clog their population cap. 3. AI is a cheating bastard, that's most likely accurate for every EaW mod. So don't be afraid to cheat back if you're still learning the game or a particular mod. In Thrawn's Revenge many factions can abuse the hyper velocity gun if you have it built on the planet. Build 2 small, fast corvettes on a planet with HVG, at the start of the defense battle move them each to far corners of the map. It may bring some enemies to them (buying you time to fire HVG more often) or they will ignore them. even if enemy blows up your station and every other unit you can make those corvettes circle the map, making your enemies chase them while you can use HVG to reduce their fleet severely or win the battle. That was mostly cheesing, but you can straight up cheat in the game. You can find an xml file with planets, edit it and rise the income for a planet your faction has, giving you more money after you start a new galactic conquest afterwards with that faction. Very useful when you want to play some of the hardest factions in GC like Hapes Consortium, who use smaller units, have a bad placement on the galaxy map and extremely low income.

I wish in tr if you defeated an enemy faction's leader they would need like 3 weeks to get a new leader and during that time their units would be weaker since they are demoralized.

If you "tailor" your fleet to what the enemy has at one point, chances is until your tailored fleet is assembled the enemy has already completely changed theirs. But i agree with the "don´t wait for unit production to finish", better to use several planets to build and then assemble them into one position. Personally i´m a big fan of fighter fleets to harrass the enemy, best way for that is to play as a Zann Consortium in Forces of Corruption, and build TIE Defenders.

My EaW looks rather different. Are you using mods?

[@rominesque2921]
