Dreadnoughts: Difference between revisions

Line 56:

Anti capital dreads can be used in various contexts. From a drop on a single carrier with only a single or few dreads. Over a drop on a FAX supporting a subcap fleet. To big dread bomb to kill super carriers or titans.

~~Until recently the opinion was, that a dread bomb doesn’t trade~~ favorably against ~~a super capital fleet~~.<ref>See [https://youtu.be/LpGDcFZMu1Y Jin'talks - Why Dreadbombs Don't Work (against Superfleets)].</ref> This ~~meant~~ that ~~dread bombs were~~ deployed either against a single vulnerable target in the hope to extract before help arrives or when a super fight is already in progress. This probably also triggered the changes to remote reps<ref>see https://www.eveonline.com/article/pobbb9/spring-balance-update-incoming</ref> which reduced the overall repair amount especially for FAXs in big fleets. ~~If pure dread fleets can trade favourable~~ with ~~super capital~~ fleets ~~after those changes remains~~ to ~~be seen~~.

Dreadbombs historically have not traded favorably against supercapital fleets with the critical mass to be effective.<ref>See [https://youtu.be/LpGDcFZMu1Y Jin'talks - Why Dreadbombs Don't Work (against Superfleets)].</ref> This means that dreadbombs are deployed either against a single vulnerable target in the hope to extract before help arrives (or dropping enough dreads to kill the target before rescue but not enough to exceed the target's value) or when a super fight is already in progress. This probably also triggered the changes to remote reps<ref>see https://www.eveonline.com/article/pobbb9/spring-balance-update-incoming</ref> and the limitation to FAX cap boosters which reduced the overall repair amount especially for FAXs in big fleets. In the super fights since then, such as M2-XFE, dreadnoughts have not traded well with critical mass titan fleets. In the M2-XFE armor timer, a TEST dreadbomb got destroyed by lance doomsdays from some of the Imperium's titans. In the rescue/extraction fight, a large PAPI dreadbomb was enough to distract the Imperium's titans and cover the extraction of most of the PAPI titans. However, this dreadbomb did not trade effectively against the Imperium. While it accomplished the objective and brought a win for the PAPI side, the cost was several hundred dreadnoughts against six Imperium titans.
