Greetings peoples this is my first topic in this thread.
I want to raise the subject of large scale fleet engagements in all WC eras.
Before I start, yes I know the game engine was incapable of properly showing things like this so I will refer to ship stats and other on paper style details.
In WC1 Confed had access to a Carrier (Battle Carrier?), a Destroyer and a Corvette (only time Confed uses a Corvette!). Going by real world fleet information a battle group would consist of something like 1-2 Carriers and like a dozen Destroyers and Corvettes.
The Kilrathi had only a Destroyer and a Cruiser to work with.
In theory that would mean Confed would be capable of depolying much larger numbers of Fighters and could potentially execute hit and run or fast moving attacks with its Destroyers and Corvettes... How come Confed always seemed to get really beaten up by the Kilrathi? Was it bad tactics or were the Kilrathi just more experienced? In theory Confed should have secured an early victory.
Feel free to throw in arguements for all WC games!
