To Kill a Falcon

Alpha snipe is the standard approach.

Here's an out-of-the-box idea.... what about a drone sniping Ishtar? Damp/paint and snipe with drones to either force the falcon in closer (too close) or make it hover around outside of it's locking range like a neutered dog. The Ishtar doesn't have great dps but it's got good tank and good range with drones and it's easily as quick as a falcon. Worst case, the falcon jams the Ishtar and the rest of the fleet can go about it's job.

Seems to me that if you're having trouble with enemies using falcons/scorpions/rooks against your logis that throwing in a few ishtars in the logi-group would be good enough to neutralize that threat and it would leave the alpha ships free to shoot... well ... enemy logi's instead of enemy ECM.

Just a thought.

If it wasn't for the ludicrously long targeting range of the falcon I'd say the Arazu would be the perfect counter - sensor damp, long point, slow death.

Doubt if it would happen though... sensor damps need love.

arty fit machariels, they alpha that **** :3

Edit: range usually isnt an issue, you can get 150km with decent targeting still :3

Fof, Alpha, ECCM, Neuts, Possibly drones if you hug the falcon. Bombs can also work, I think it's what 2 or 3 bombs to kill one or more falcons?
