To know how to win, one must first learn how to lose.
You may have been annihilated by an enemy, but I would rather this than you being sheltered from combat. This is an excellent sign. I hope this has taught you a lesson about the dirty tricks and scummy tactics that the enemy around us use. Great battle report aswell, I look forward to reading more of them in the future. Not the usual style...I like it.
On a brighter note, I have shared some of my knowledge in the tactical database on our planet (forums) and wish you all to read it. It contains some useful tactical information about basic flight of fighters and gunboats, as well as a massively simplified description weapon group procedure. If you have problems with this, please tell me via the noteboard where the instructions are posted.
Bear in mind, this is just writing, and may not turn out as expected as there are no pictures or videos of implemetation. However, play with the tactics I input into the database. They may turn out well.
Also, brother Maniaco, your contribution in the database would be greatly appreciated to supplement my knowledge of offensive combat with your unparalleled skill of not-getting-hit by just about anything. Your capacity for survival astounds me every time I see you engage, and I hope you can share this with everyone in our protected database. I, for one, would like to learn just how you do it!
