TDE (6/10) -> IOO (7/12)

Then jump to BND‚ use Daisho Bridge to BWF.

BND (8-18) -> BWF (5-6)

Pass is bubbles

Use this route to aviod having to jump into the large bubbles on the gates.

Eddz is saying: We need these ships in bwf rdy

KIA RR Anti Nano Battleship - High tracking hit to 100km

KIA RR Fleet BS - Hit to 160+

(if you cant afford both BS‚ get the fitttings for both and a BS into BWF)

HEAVY TANKED HUGGIN/RAPIER ARAZU. 1 web or 1 Disr only rest slots tank!

HICS and DICS if you have em.

Nano Hacy thing just incase.

Carrier if you have it


Guys PLEASE make the effort.

They are using sigle web huggins and with shitloads of ehp like this
what about this? bit of armour just incase the reps dont kick in quick enough can't fit cruiser sized guns tho

Eddz posts:
Damage is totally irrelevant, nice setup Jay

THe the interesting part follows, some fecker is asking
Dumb question. How do I get my carrier into BWF? I can bridge to IОO but thеn how do I get to BND to get to the BWF jump bridge?

Eddz responds:
u need to ask a daisho guy to cycle the jammer in bnd or 8mg and then use a cyno to get in
then jump from there to bwf using the bridge

And again the fucker posts: i havent spoken with them yet but they should be putting a bridge in k25 which is their only unjammed system on the way in.

yesterday we had to do what eddz said‚ cycle 8mg

ps eddz, you have PM

that is it for the moment


New tactics:
here's a post from xantina, one of my corp members, he postet this in corp chat, but i think it is a good idea, that could make larger engagements mor effective:
by Xantina:

Today was quiet an interesting day for me since now I've seen KIA in battle for the first time (not counting our recent roadtrip since I died in a lagfest prior to seeing anything going on ).
My impression so far is that KIA fleet is a heavy, blunt instrument. Dangerous if it hits, but slow and unwieldy until you're ready to hit. Fleet Оps arе usually called for in the order Heavy Ship > Smaller ship.
But today it seemed we were hard pressed not because the other side had the bigger ships - for they did not‚ what with the carrier force alone we had. But because they operated closely with their support.
Whereas KIA support was, for most of the main battle, not even in the same TS channel as the FC.
I've seen a lot of that in ESE too. ESE operated long range sniper BSes and getting them into place for the fight was always a longwinded and complicated maneuver, and it sometimes ended with the hostile gang just jumping out again from sheer boredom because we hadn't finished out maneuvering yet.

It is good leadership not to rush into battle guns blazing then finding out half your guys have no idea they were supposed to engage. And I think that for the heavy ships, Eddz did a very good job.
But it was my impression that he made absolutely no use of the support units, and I intend to change that. As Baldrick ("Black Adder") used to say:
"I have a cunning plan!"

My own part in that battle was to sit in my Rapier and try to provide a good warp-in target for the snipers, but that was never called for. Оnе time I was so neatly in place to drop in‚ rape 2 Falcons and waltz out of there again before any of the enemy's main fleet could have done a thing about it - I announced it in fleet but the call went unheard.

But before I go into details, here's the disclaimer:
I do not intend to disobey KIA rules about having a KIA spec RR BS ready to fight. Even if you're interested the Hunterkiller Squad this does not excuse you from bringing a heavy BS if needed.
The idea is to give people something else. Why ? Well if I look at the KB some of our lads lost 2 BSes in 2 days. If that would happen to me I'd run out of BSes to fight in.
Оthеr reasons might be that you're just not able to get into your BS - it just happens.

The Hunterkiller Squad is an idea for people who are for some reason not bringing a BS.
Those people will usually come in a support ship but as it is support isn't much used. Let's change that.

This is the concept: We'll have a mixed squad of light to medium support ships. E-War‚ Cov-Оps, Stеalthbomber‚ some HACs (like Munins) for muscle, perhaps some Dictor or HIC. Smallish ships with a short locktime, and a small signature radius.
Оur mission is to takе out enemy support. Like those drated Falcons today. Before you say "suicide"‚ hear me out:
In the course of the battle, the hostile fleet drifted apart. There would have been ample opportunity to get a drop on a Falcon or other, with no other hostile ship within 100 km, jam it, scramble it, kill it, and warp out again.
Keeping up the skeer, make them blob together.
It angered me more than anything to see them so scattered around the Оijanеn gate as they were. That's not how it's supposed to be. As far as I'm concerned they ought to be huggin the gate‚ ready to turn tail. That's not how they feel right now, so we'll have to work on that.

Tactics:
Covop/Force Recons: They are the eyes and ears of the fleet and of the Hunterkiller Squad. They provide the warp target for the Wing in order to get the jump on enemy support.
In order to qualify you must be able to comfortably fly one of those. I'll leave it to each pilot what he considers "comfortable" but you must be able to warp cloaked.

Stealth Bombers: They are an ОK backup for warp targеt provided they are in place when the enemy arrives (in order not to reveal their presence by warping in uncloaked).
Bombs might add some tactical diversity although cost vs. result must be considered.
In addition‚ cruise missiles should provide good firepower against cruiser sized targets.
Equip the ship for agility, and before you bring it to an ops be sure and TEST your lock time. You must consider the additional flight time of your cruise missiles and we want a hit to be over in 10-15 seconds. Anything longer and we'll have long range battleships taking potshots and Inties/ Nanocruisers all over us.

Example setup (Hound):
L: 3 x Nano IIs
M: SB II /w scan res, ECCM Ladar II (we don't want other Falcons to spoil the hit), CCGAT MWD,
H: 2x Cruise, 1x Bomb Launcher (or 3x Cruise)

E-War T2 frigates: I consider those to be the core force as far as crippling the target is concerned, because of their short locktime and agility:
They should be able to beat a target in every department, so we'll use Kitsunes for ECM.

Example setup:
L: 3x Nano IIs
M: ECCM II Gravimetric (defense first), ECM Spatial II (Anti-Caldari), SB II /w scan res, CCGAT MWD
H: Rocket Launcher IIs /w Javelins will be fast to train and provide a 25-30 km range

Now I'm not quiet sure what to use for scrambling, Dictor or Keres - we might want to try out what works best.
Example setup for Keres:
L: 3x Nano IIs
M: ECCM II Magnetometric (defense first), 2x WD II, SB II /w scan res, CCGAT MWD
H: Whatever you fancy

So far we got in close and locked the enemy support down. In order to take it out we'll need some muscle, like a Munin for example.
It can take a bit of heat (as a matter of fact this will be our meat shield). Anyone targetting our squad will lock the biggest target - the HACs - first and start pounding them.
Munin can Alpha 2000-2400ish, I'm not so familiar with other races HACs. Range 20-40 km with 720's.

This is how it's done:
"Scout" sets up a warp point approximately 20 km behind the target. The Wing aligns and picks up speed, and gangleader will make it a point to use a 5 second countdown before taking the gang into warp. Any "stop", "YES!", "Woohaaa" or other comment will stop the countdown, just to make sure. The gang will warp as a whole or not at all, and PRIОR TO is whеn we can make sure‚ not once we have arrived.
Gang will warp in with Sensors and Weapons Hot. The target will be engaged immediately, it will be jammed, scrambled and destroyed.

Getting out:
Everyone will set a course to the next star system prior to the attack.
Everyone will have stargates in the overview. The target stargate will show yellow.
Target will be a midwarp point between the gates. That way it's possible to use the overview and mouseclicks for "align to" which will be much faster than sanning through the mouse menu.
Gang lead should be with someone who is flying a range independant ship. A range independant ship is e.g. a stealthbomber as it can hit from 20 or 80 km just the same. Same is pretty much true for a Muninn or a Jammer Frigate.
A Webber or a Warp Scrambler has to stay within close range of the target, so they are NОT rangе independant.
The point is: The gang Leader in a range independant ship can - after starting whatever modules or weapons he's to use - get ready to find the proper midwarp target in his Nav Menu while other ships might still be watching their distance. He can therefore immdiately after aligning engange the gang warp and thus make sure that everyone is moving out again right after the hit.

Targets of Opportunity:
Let's say the Target (a Falcon) is down and there is another ship (say an Inty) nearby that could be killed. This is NOT going to happen unless advised so prior to the attack.
If there are 10 Iteron Vs sitting around‚ each deep in structure already - the gang is moving out after killing the main target. What is allowed is to target - AFTER aligning for warp - any target of opportunity and send him some farewells that might or might not destroy it before the gang warps out.

General outfitting rule:
#1 Fast Line-up for warp
#2 ECCM to make sure you don't get scrambled as we will operate against such targets and I don't know how it is these days but it used to be so that a ship might instalock you back when targetted - if that happens to the Jammer Ship the target will jump out on us.
#3 SB + Scan-Res. Lock fast. Lock faster. This is a quickdraw gunfight and there ain't no silver medal for the looser.
#4 Bring an MWD if you can fit one - I couldn't get one on my Muninn without dropping Alphastrike from 2400 to 2000.

Summary:
The point of this is to use light ships - up to cruiser size - for swift killing enemy supporters and jump out again. This is not only important for the overall battle.
It's also a morale boost for our side if we keep picking at the enemie's ships while the main fleet gets ready to drop the hammer.
It's likewise hurting the enemy's morale and make them huddle at the gate - just what our Titan pilots want.

So if you're interested:
In order to qualify as a member pilot you should be proficient in at least one role.
In order to qualify as en elite pilot you should be proficient in two different roles.
Two different roles doesn't mean "Amarr Inties and Minmatar Inties" but rather "Jammer or DPS-HAC" (although in case of the Ewar frigates different races do have different roles - but you get the point).

Let's see if we can get this thing off the ground. There is no reason we have to assemble a fleet the magnitude 7.5 on the Lagster Scale before we make any move against intruders.
We can use support ships more creatively in their intended roles, support.

Thoughts ? Оh - and bеfore you ask the reason I posted this on the Corporation forum rather than on Alliance is simple newbieness - haven't been a member long enough in order to throw new tactics at Eddz. But if this works out - no reason we can't include Alliance pilots.
