EFSF Tactical Odessa Thread Final Turn

I would like to launch from the Sulafat and move toward the Gergeren to attack it. I'd like to arm myself with 2 Anti-Ship Missiles and an M Warhead. Spearhead the ships with Saberfish allies. Make sure to cover them as they cover me. Target the bridge, hanger and thrusters. My primary targets are the ships hangars and thrusters. Secondary target is the bridge. Destroying the hangar bay will destroy mobile suits or fighters that have not yet launched or prevent them at the very least. Destroying the thrusters will ensure the ship will not be able to retreat. Destroying the bridge will compromise the command of the vessel.

I'll be implementing blitzkrieg during the attack. I'll use the M Warhead to disable communications, then launch several missiles at the ship at lightning speed. I want to try to catch them off guard. Target the ship's turrets with vulcans, and use anti-ms missiles to take down any crucial spots that the Anti-ship missiles did not destroy.

Save several Anti-MS missiles for resistance. Have the Saberfish focus on the bombardment once enemy suits or fighters launch. I'll make sure to keep enemy suits off them.

As for a strategy for enemy mobile suits; I will target essential spots on any enemy units with my armament (vulcans/missiles). The head for the main camera, the cockpit for the pilot, and the thrusters to reduce enemy movement (If the backpack is hit with a missile, it could cause the suit to explode altogether). Targeting the thrusters will be a little tougher, but doable. Outmaneuver enemy MS while they are preoccupied with Saberfish defenses, then perform a vertical u-turn (up or down) to face their backs.

If there are any enemy pilots that appear to be tougher to best, I have a separate strategy for them. Play a nice game of cat and mouse. Have the unit chase me. Push on the breaks so my saberfish flips around, then fire anti-ms rockets into the mobilesuit. The quickness of my actions will imply that the enemy will have almost no time to react and will be flying straight into a missile.

Do a few barrel rolls for evasion and don't hesitate with nose gun turrets.

I posted an RP about one of the pilots in my squad. Make sure to read it. I plan to post some more later on today.

Thanks for your time,

I will relaunch once resupplied with extra fuel tank, anti beam rocket, and a anti ship rocket.

Use the fuel tank to last longer. Use the anti beam rocket to protect my allies from beam fire (or save it for Ridden if he interferes). Finally use the anti-ship rocket on OSS-3, which I will travel to and take down. I will target its thrusters.

If there are truly civilians on board instead of cargo or ms, let them escape via space shuttle AFTER the ship is already close to destroyed. This will also force Alex to no longer go after HLVs. He will let his squad of saberfish follow orders if they must, but he won't.

He will most likely retreat to to assist against the fight with Ridden and Rhett. Have his remaining saberfish do whatever BM commands

Make sure he gives a speech about how Zeon may be our enemies, but we shouldn't stoop to their level and kill civilians...only if there are civs on board and this is made apparent.

Oh as for MS combat, make sure to follow previous strategies:

I will target essential spots on any enemy units with my armament (vulcans/missiles). The head for the main camera, the cockpit for the pilot, and the thrusters to reduce enemy movement (If the backpack is hit with a missile, it could cause the suit to explode altogether). Targeting the thrusters will be a little tougher, but doable. Outmaneuver enemy MS while they are preoccupied with Saberfish defenses, then perform a vertical u-turn (up or down) to face their backs.

If there are any enemy pilots that appear to be tougher to best (Ridden or Rhett), I have a separate strategy for them. Play a nice game of cat and mouse. Have the unit chase me and eject the fuel tank so it clashes with their mobile suit. Push on the breaks so my saberfish flips around, then fire anti-ms rockets into the tank and mobile suit. The quickness of my actions will imply that the enemy will have almost no time to react and will be flying straight into an explosion and missile bombardment.

Dont use that strat for any old ms, as the fuel tank is essential to my survival. Only use it for the listed NPCs/PCs.
