Uni Alpha Fleet

Uni Alpha Fleet Doctrine

General Information

An Alpha Fleet doctrine is set up to maximize the damage output within the first few seconds of a fight (=alpha or volley damage). With certain weapon systems dealing more alpha damage than others, this fleet doctrine revolves around the use of Artillery Cannons and Tachyon Beam Lasers. Ships with these weapon systems are supported by cheap (!) short range tackle to make sure the alpha ships can project their full dps.

The short range ships are likely to not survive the engagement as they will be close to the targets, therefore they should focus on a cheap fit, to maximize the net ISK win of an engagement.

Bring Tornado>Oracle>Talos/Naga>Hurricane>Bellicose/Vigil (only 1 needed) with TPs>Thrashers>any other cheap tackle frigate/dessy with scram and web

Advantages/Disadvantages

Pro:

- Alpha fleets are good to surpass enemy (ooc) reps. A decently sized Alpha fleet can even volley Battleships and heavily tanked T3 cruisers.

- They are also good vs. Ancillary Shield Boosters as those ships tend to have a small buffer

Cons:

- Alpha fleets deal less dps in the long run than close range, high dps fleets

- Long range weapon systems are very bad at close range distances. When an enemy fleet is able to get close, you will hardly deal serious dps anymore

- Alpha ships are quite squishy as well, so once tackled they die fast

Command Structure

Nothing really specific. Usual command structure is required.

Tactics

All pilots of Alpha ships should set their fits around at hitting at three different ranges: 50km, 70km, 100km and bring ammo for these ranges. Aim your engagement range on up to optimal + ½ falloff (That means if you want to hit at 50km, it is usually better to chose a higher damage ammo that has 30+70 than a lower dps ammo with 50+x). The short range support ships (tacklers) will try to get as close to the targets as possible and tackle them. To maximize the damage, tacklers need to fit scram and webs to slow the target down as much as possible. Additional Target Painters are useful. The Alpha ships (and TP ships) then warp onto the tacklers at their optimal (or a bit closer in case the targets are kiting). They immediately lock the target, activate the weapons and align in the direction the FC calls.

This also works well in conjunction with a good punter.

You can also use long range tackle recons instead of the cheap close range tacklers.
