Hello everyone,
After all the tests I did with the Commonwealth fleets, I felt like my terran fleet was a bit neglected. :P So I gather the terran "crew" and away we go to have some fun with the xenon.
Fleet composition:
1 Asgard
3 Syn + 3 Osaka on defend
2 Tokyo + 80 Kalis on intercept
1 Honshu + protection fleet = 20 Katana for AA protection + 20 Flax with torpedo launchers for anti capital ship protection
This clip shows what to expect from your terran fleet when you will lead it in a combat scenario.
Observations:
- the Asgard AA protection is not great. Maybe the effectiveness of the turrets can be increased by using non-terran tech, such as argon flak, but as some of you know, my terran ships must have terran tech. There are rumors that the Asgard have been nerfed prior to the launch of the CoH DLC, as can be seen from the grey areas on the lower half of the ship, top and bottom, that look like turrets placements to me. I wonder what kind of a beast the Asgard could have been, if the nerf hammer had not hit.
- I'm forced to make a single exception to my terran tech for terran ships rule, in the form of torpedo launchers for Falx. From all my tests, I simply could not found another terran anti capital ship solution for M ships. Is a bit strange that the terrans have torpedoes, but not launchers, but that's the way things are.
- in regard of turrets options, my favorite is "atack my target" for L turrets, as I'm not happy with the target prioritization of the "atack all enemies", heavy hitting turrets will engage a xenon M, while ignoring the xenon P that is hitting my engine. I switch to "atack all enemies", when I target a threat like a xenon K that wants to travel drive in top of my Asgard, moment in which I'm not really concern about small fry.
- the fleet behavior in X4 have some problems, in the sense that the ships in the fleet will not follow close your leader flagship, especially when you fly it. Maybe human actions are too impredictable for the AI, I don't know, but I would expect that some "move to the leader position ASAP" command, to be issued, and Boso Ta forbid, even use the travel drive when doing so...
- destroyers...despite having 5 star captains, were very close to ruin my day when I've engaged the xenon station. If it is posible, destroyers should be keept away from stations. Even if no direct atack orders are issued, they will take the worst aproach and response to the station atack.
