Quote from: "welchbloke"Your text on the fighters says that you are relying on the fighters getting close because they have no active emissions. Does that mean you are going to have the scout-fighter with the active snesor significantly offset to the strike group? Otherwise the hostiles are likely to know the threat axis of the strike at least.
Good point. What I could do is have the Eagles with the stronger sensors go active from the start and head to the 'right' of the enemy fleet. Hopefully it will be at some distance and the enemy sensors will see the emissions but not the hull carrying them and would have to presume that it is the main body of my fleet. I would then have the Tarawa and Hawk (with sensors off) head to the 'left'.
It would take some manoeuvering but the plan would be to setup in such a way that I could even go silent and 'drag' the enemy along my fighter's path. This all depends on the type of range the enemy is setup for, and their speed! If it is precursor then I am screwed :wink:
