After Action Report 2019.227
Last Night I performed two anti-ship attack simulations with The up-armored Epee equipped with a torpedo. Both attack runs were against Ralatha.
On the first attack run, I used my afterburners to take up a position about 10,000 Meters from the Ralatha to set up my attack run, and acquire torpedo lock. As I closed the distance I began taking fire from the Ralatha's Flak Guns. Shields took the brunt of the damage thanks to the recharge rate, and I continued to close on target. At 2500 Meters I unleashed the Torpedo, and proceeded to peel off to avoid any splash damage should the torpedo get hit by the flak. As I was making my hard turn away, to my surprise the right VDU lit up with a message from the Ralatha. "NO..." My guess at the time was that the torpedo must have scored a critical hit on a vital area. As the Ralatha broke up I flew back to base mission accomplished.
On the second run I pretty much repeated my attack pattern from the first run. At around 2500 Meters I released my torpedo, and began to peel off. This time however as I peeled off I took damage with the rear armor of the ship being completely destroyed, and moderate damage to the Repair System. Bringing the Ralatha back into my gun sights I checked the Right VDU for targeting data. The display showed that the Ralatha had been hit by the torpedo in the forward section. With no remaining torpedoes I ended the mission .
That concludes my report.
