==Structure Bashing==

The high DPS of the dreadnought means that they are good to bash things. If the structure is defended the dread is also vulnerable as the siege module pins it down. So, it’s usually used if you either don’t expect anyone to show up for the defense (for example for the first ref outside of the opponent’s time zone) or if you are confident that you can counter drop on anyone who might drop on you.

==Vindicator-supported Capgun Dreads==

This is a rare but deadly strategy used in Class 5 and Class 6 [[Wormhole]] engagements. In most cases, this is done using two {{sh|Naglfar}}s fitted with anti-capital Hexa-2500mm Repeating Cannons, and one {{sh|Apostle}} (or other [[Force Auxiliary]]), supported by one or more {{sh|Vindicator}}s, {{sh|Loki}}s, and {{sh|Huginn}}s. The objective of this composition is to use the Vindicator's webs to completely immobilize enemy cruisers and battleships, then target paint them with the Huginn and quickly eliminate them with the anti-capital weapons of the Naglfars (which, while they ordinarily cannot hit subcapitals, have little trouble hitting stationary targets). The Loki and Huginn together are able to apply webs to enemies outside of Vindicator range, and the Force Auxiliary is in charge of keeping the support ships alive under enemy fire. Variations of this strategy are employed both by independent roamers, and by high-class Wormhole groups in major engagements with one another.
