Incoming transmission to SA High Order
Commander Kress reporting from Los Angeles California
We firstly massed up a fleet consisting of 6 capital ships (2 bs+2gb+ an assault cruiser and a liberty cruiser) and 4 fighters consisting of LSF raven claws near planet LA. LSF and some other independent pilots joined our training sessions. And also my thanks goes to Norwich for participating the capital ship defense initiative training session.
SESSION_1 (CAPITAL GROUPS)
First session was of 2 capital ship battle groups composing of a bs,cruiser and gb.
Group-a : Norwich, Utah, Battleborn (Sf bretonian bs, Sa lib gb, Sa lib assault cr)
Group-b: TheWise, James, Captain.. (3 independent involvers, lib dred+lib gb+lib cr)
Group-a firstly aimed the biggest target and following the pattern till the smallest target is eliminated.
Group-b aimed mainly on the bs but was partially scattered due to lack of concentration. However group-a had a slight hull and experience advantage.
Result group-a won. Group-b is eliminated.
Casualities of group a- the gunboat utahs hull was drained to 9.5 bars and no losses at all on group a side.
SESSION_2
Group-a: Utah, James, Battleborn
Group-b: Norwich, The Wise
Group-a tried to aim norwich by falling to his back, however the firepower failed to bring his hull down and bborn firstly got eliminated. Then Utah and lastly James fell.
Group-b simply targeted bborn since he was the biggest target. Experience and hull advantage of norwich gave them the victory.
Result Group a is eliminated
Casualities of Group b, norwichs shield was taken off and his hull had been dealt considerable damage yet it was not enough to bring it down.
Notes: cruising and falling back of a battleship is reasonable for lower caps. Caps shall not stay under the battleship not to recieve maximum pounding. Better try to stay on its back. We may need some gunboat groups as anti cap and anti fighter. Better to have both of em in mass fleets for different situations. Anti cap gunboats will need to improve their evading and aiming skills.
SESSION_3
Norwich against TheWise
Result Norwich won. (Damage inflicted minor hull damage likely 3 bars drained)
Comments: Norwich had better hull better experience and better dodging skills.
TheWise needs to improve his dodging skills since he is using a liberty dreadnought which is a lot easier to strafe than a bretonian battleship.
Some important notes about the training are as follows..
LSF stealth squad did well with their scouting mission within California system. (2 stalth fighters were ordered to sweep mojave-minor-la-magellan jg route with opposite directions) Tactic worked well and they Contacted Taurvi.NLF (faster than i expected) 2 times and left him in his run alone with my order since it was pointless to chase him till all day and we had more important issues than chasing a single target. Our main goal was to execute a productive training session which i believe we did.
LSF still can improve in obeying quick orders such as rendezvouz missions. Some times these drastic delays may result in bitter conclusions like losing fighter support.
=LSF=Death_Stalker seemed on good form against barrage fire and missile shots of a liberty gunboat. He may still improve his survival time. He may be touted as a promising aspect for the navy as well.*
TheWise has been detected as attentive to orders. He seems to have no adaptation problems and could be a useful pilot in the near future.*
RV_engagement pattern..
We used only fighters for chasing a fighter and caps stayed in front of LA.
For a single fighter or bomber dispatch fighters
For a GB dispatch fighters and the available gunboats (a cruiser maybe dispatched if the unwanted targets are supported by some independent pirates or if they are experienced enough and cause threat)
For cruiser/s and/or battleship/s, all fleet rv at spesific location and terminate the target.
For organized assaults against Liberty space, all fleet rv at spesific location and wait for orders from higher command.
Some suggestions and further notifications..
LSF fighter squad should better involve in more frequent training sessions with SA fleet. Any LSF ship is welcome among us.
Any independent Liberty Lawful or Mercenary aiming to help Liberty is welcome among us. They are also welcome in our training sessions. They can be more useful when they know how to engage targets in an organized way. A mixture of similar mould composing of SA,LSF and Liberty lawfuls could do wonders if trained well.
I would suggest taking some of our mass fleets to unknown system and have some time with the nomad masses. Would surely improve the dodging and aiming of all members participating.
