Wow, I understand some of you have never been in a fleet, nevermind a capital battle.

Still, do you have to be that ********?

Tornados? You have to be ******* kidding me. This drivel isn't even worthy of a response, but here's something to chew on:

"Perfect Alpha" vs "Idiots like you who think it's ok to ungroup guns"

Man, playing dumb isn't really a stretch for you is it?


Guess what dies to half of 250 tornado's 8 guns?

Everything not a supercapital.


Oh oh, here's another one, guess what happens when a fleet of 250 archons gets 6 primaries at once?

3-4 of the 6 die horribly.


But nope, nothing works on Carriers, nothing to see here move it along move it along.

Don't worry an hour ago he learned that a group of 100 well skilled (as in SP) Tornados can Alpha Archons. Takes a while to process that information.

Filling up with Bee tears in here now. Should be a fun friday at work!

So riddle me this, how do carriers die to something that can be tanked by abaddons, rokhs and megathrons?

The unanswered question here is if the carriers are so completely invincible, and the CFC/RUS side can already show 700 caps without much issue, why aren't the CFC/RUS just outright winning this war on the backs of the largest carrier flee ever seen?


Its almost like they know theres a way to beat it...

Abaddons, Rokhs, and Megathrons do not tank 250 tornado's, never have, lierally never will unless the tornados are fit with festival launchers.

EDIT: You can even split your gun stack in half, and shoot effectively with 125 tornados, and still, no battleship will tank that, even at 180km.

Yes, it is terrifying, particularly when only a single person on the other side needs to press only a single button to get perfect alpha every time.

I love going afk and collecting killmails as much as the next guy, but cmon now.

FFS as it is now you can practically add an armour rep to your 'cap buddy' and never have to come back to the fight at all...

I realize you're a miner and you think that a mechanic that lets you have an effect on the game while watching netflix is "OK" but please let the grownups talk

They can't tank that though. It only takes like 20 to Alpha a BS.

100 nados do not have the firepower to alpha a carrier.

Oh, the AFK archon argument. I like this one. This is the one were you tell me that the Archon that pulls its drones every time someone tries to bomb the sentries is AFK. It is, isn't it? Lol

Man, I just love how AFK archons can pull and redeploy drones by themselves.LolLolLolLolLolLol

All this ******** talk about gun splitting assumes that the slowcat pilots aren't going to notice that a bunch of tornadoes are yellowboxing them and overheat hardeners, that the slowcat pilots are all flying T2 tanked archons without bonuses, and that the DPS of the tornado fleet isn't being eroded every 3-4 seconds

I asked why you're not fielding a carrier ball of your own, not dreads.

I mean obviously carriers aren't defensive only, we've taken more than a few systems with them.

So why won't the CFC runs just run around with 700+ carriers that you should easily be able to field burning down the countryside?

From what Baltec, James, and yourself are saying it should be virtually impossible to stop you if you'd just do that.


But you're not doing that are you, I wonder why that is.

Speaking of overheating when yellowboxed what exactly do you do when a single ship with a passive targeter is about to trigger thousands of drones on you?

Drone assist defeats the overview, it defeats spies, it defeats everything along those lines. But keep being apologists~
