T̸O̷R̴P̴E̵D̸O B̷O̸M̶B̷I̷N̷G 1̴0̸1 (Nebulous Fleet Command Tutorial)

This tutorial explains the basics of my favourite 'strategy' in Nebulous Fleet Command: torpedo bombing. Enjoy!

Interesting build. I'd never have thought of using BSSJs on every torp, they're pricey. But I'm sure all those stacked BSSJs do a real number on the enemy PD.

[@d0d0birdiexd78]

oh yes, I like to use them so i can max out burn duration without compromising PK, but yes they're not exactly economical.

​@d0d0birdiexd78 this is a cool video. Congrats on the 100 subs btw, I just subbed and realized it moved from 99 to 100!

[@d0d0birdiexd78]

@@danebelling9526oh thank you very much! I’ll try to live up to your expectations

[@Sir_Loin_Of_Beef]

It's an interesting idea but you can get a similar effect for cheap with pushing 3g on corkscrew and using a smaller warhead

[@jonny-b4954]

I swear man, there's just too many great, deep games out there that I just don't have the time to dedicate to them all hahah.

[@thirstysailor579]

Damn good stuff, very informative. Didn’t even know you could change the size of fuel tanks and warheads on the missiles.

[@d0d0birdiexd78]

I’m glad you found the video informative! I recommend checking out other specific tutorials on things like missiles, there’s no way I could ever hope to cover all the mechanics of this game myself

[@Somewhat_Unknown]

Damn this video rocks. Love the in-universe tutorial!

[@henryhamilton4087]

Torps need at least 2Gs for Terminals to be effective. 1.7G maneuver + Corkscrew doesn't do much in my experience. Although maybe with the BSSJ it's enough, i never use BSSJ with torps and prefer to just use Blankets.

[@d0d0birdiexd78]

fair enough, that might even be a more economical approach too since BSSJ is 10 points a pop. The reason I like to max out burn duration is for longer range strikes, but that's definitely a viable alternative.

[@henryhamilton4087]

@@d0d0birdiexd78 i usually do 5km range also, but with smaller warhead and 2.4-2.6 G maneuverability. Then make a second variant that's identical but with Decoy launcher, and mix both with the salvo planner

this was so good ty

[@cpt.gwyndolin8665]

Im new but this doesnt seem too difficult! Can't wait to try it!

[@d0d0birdiexd78]

Yes it’s a decent strat and very fun! Be sure to hug asteroids, keep a low profile, and be smart when delegating your targets, focus fire on capital ships and strike with overwhelming force. Happy torping!

[@estebangrafeuille9111]

how did it go? im new also but havent tried tops yet

[@henryhamilton4087]

Welp uhhh Apparently I saw this vid and decided to implement it as OSP and then i invented a new technique called Container Bombing

[@d0d0birdiexd78]

O h

[@henryhamilton4087]

Well i even now made a montage on Container bombing 😗😗

[@marcopirrotta2791]

Good tutorial, I crave more good sir.

[@MunitionsDudTester]

Great tutorial, I'll have to check if you have more. I've been trying this in the simulators and it seems the enemy does not care about my jamming torpedos and just eliminates all of them with their PD

[@ltstaffel5323]

depends a lot what kind of PD you're using and what angles you're firing from

[@khoipham8303]

Question: Is it possible or optimal to use capital ships as torpedo bombers, ie. Axford, or Solomon? If it is possible, are the tactics similar or different?

[@d0d0birdiexd78]

I've heard of people using torpedo axfords, solomons not so much, they're really badly suited for them. Ocellos are probably the best capital ship to use torpedoes with. Axfords are especially useful when given a torpedo "backpack" on the rear mount, and using 450s and/or beams on the other two primary mounts.

[@valeon7303]

Due to the high hull cost of the Solomon and the low missile capacity of the axford, they are poorly suited for torpedos. However, I have seen a torpedo battleship *once* which worked well... although not as well as a well played CL group could Really, the best alternative is a missile beam axford. With the c4 mounts full of Size 3 hybrids and the c5 with a beam turret, you can use the hybrids to quickly disable a ship and use the beam to finish off targets when you run out of missiles.

[@MBunn-uf1we]

@@d0d0birdiexd78 The torpedo Solomon is a scary meme ship that at best will kill atleast 2 BBs if played correctly but it's a pretty empty hull.

[@logan36511]

It may be risky (it most certainly is) but I really like using lineships, I've never really tried it with ambush tactics, but with the amount of torps you can throw at the enemy, you can breach even the toughest PD nets.

[@henryhamilton4087]

Ocellos are pretty commonly used as torpedo bombers If you are truly mad, you can also torpedo bomb with a Bulk Liner or....even a container liner.
