Despite its hull bonuses, the Apocalypse Navy Issue still has a difficult time shooting frigates due to its battleship sized guns. Because of this, your best strategy is to focus on the frigs at the initial spawn, and then shift to the battleships/cruisers after the frigates get too close. In addition, the NApoc has some capacitor issues when using the Multifrequency ammo, so keep an eye on your cap level. If you run out of cap in a site, your tank is as good as toast! | Despite its hull bonuses, the Apocalypse Navy Issue still has a difficult time shooting frigates due to its battleship sized guns.

In PvP, the NApoc forms the basis of the popular "Foxcats"/"Golden Fleet" doctrines. Pioneered by groups such as Rooks and Kings and Pandemic Legion, and popularized by the Honey Badger Coalition during the Fountain War, this approach centres around heavily-tanked, pulse-laser-fit NApocs with remote repair support. This doctrine is fairly difficult to defeat without using tactics such as [[EVE Lexicon#alpha|alpha]] fleets or large amounts of capitals. The range of Scorch ammunition is a key part of using the pulse Navpoc in PvP, allowing it to project close-range damage out to extreme range. However, like all battleships, the Navpoc is both slow, and extremely vulnerable to bombs, making them popular in lowsec, where there are no bubbles, shorter warps, and no bombs. | |||
