i recently played a game agianst a player that would have lost had he played conventionally. i laucnhed my assault on his empire knowing he had around 25 carriers.no big deal when you have 20 flak frigs and 12 advent carreirs with figheters and bombers. so his fleet shows up after a minute and he has about 50 bobmers squads(hes tec). he blows up both my caps in less than a minute and wipes out 75% of my fleet. so i retreat and have a good eco so i rebuild my fleet and and start chasing his fleet of 45 carreirs,60 javels and 2 marzas. i had 26 carriers and 3 new caps 2 of them cap carriers with the fighter repulsion deal and he wears down my fleet and destroy everything except 20 carriers. then i quit. any help to counter this strategy
Apparantly, everyone assumes i had no escort fleet. just to clear that up, i had over 70 escort ships of flak,lrm,lf,hc,and other cursiers. also about the fighters, yes i kno they are faster but due to the posiotin of fleets his bombers got 2 passes before fighters could do their damge.
