Turtles captains should know what are they fliying , so they have something in mind when they get in a fight , something like a tactic . They must know that they are big ( , ugly) and slow , so they act acordingly .
The problem is , and all must know 'till now , that one party starts with some organized peoples involved , and the other side is cought unprepaired , that's why the tactic (on the Liberty side on this days) is not always the best .
And they act accordingly, using their only means to achieve victory without fatal losses - cloaking and ambushing dreads from point blank.
Before cloaks, the only real solution was a Wall formation, possibly a layered wall (layered by axis X,Z) , to get LD or Dunkirk into Crossfire and hope for it to negate their evasive abilities. You can imagine the drawbacks of such tactic, I guess. A full mortar LD is still, more or less, out of your reach.
