Re: Anti-Kra'Vak Tactics

***
I've been toying with the idea of perfecting some sort of 'weave'
tactic to prevent enemies from getting into my ships' back arcs, much
like
navy
fighters used in the early days of WWII for protection against Japanese
fighters.

I brought this up before, so I'll point out it was known as the Thatch
Weave, named for the pilot that designed it for use against the VERY
manueverable Zero. Unfortunately, the granularity of the FT 12 pt turn
system seems to be working against this.

If you get it to work, I WANT DETAILS!!! ;->=

To a certain extent, circling the wagons works in this case, though
there's
probably a better way to do it - I just need to figure it out :-/

Again, WWII, only this was on the European 'Eastern' Front. Sturmoviks,
certainly no match again 109's and 110's in ACM, would drift in circles
across the steppes, with the rear gunner of one plane, and the forward
gunner of the next, really ruining the day of any German fighter pilot
making an attack. With the heavy armor on the Sturms, the German tank
crews
weren't the only ones that called 'em The Black Death.

This one seems to work better, but the granularity problem tends to make
them sit in one place.

I'm probably repeating myself above, but I SO love finally hearing the
attention to tactical manuevering as opposed to simply comparing
numbers,
though I gather that manuvering repercusions of numbers are clear to all
be
moi. *sigh*
