Small Gang AB Armor Hacs - Discuss
I wasn't sure where to post this topic, but after seeing the USTZ last night I think it needs to be put up for discussion. This topic pertains to logistics fittings and tactics while flying in gangs of less than 30 guys, but scales up just as easily.
Disclaimer: This is not a replacement to the current alliance spec armor hac gangs, this is a discussion about the US TZ 'omg we only have 20 guyz!' alternative.
In CH I would FC AB Hac gangs all the time, but we never had the numbers of guys PL has. After spanking gangs for a long while they eventually figured out bringing a Scorp for every logi we had did the trick and we started losing guys. We would faff about with 4-5 guardians in a 25 man gang fighting gangs of 50-60 and everything would go great until 1 or 2 guardians got jammed. Thus I came up with the Logistics PОD: 2 Guardians, 1 Onеiros. The Guardians each run a large transfer on eachother and each passes a medium to the Oneiros. The Oneiros relies 100% on the Guardians for cap‚ but has in its mids 2 local ECCM and 2 ECCM casters. It puts 1 ECCM caster on each of the guardians and since the guardians have 1 local ECCM each all the logistics are pushed up to about 75 sensor strength - carrier strength. This is pretty fucking hard to jam, though not impossible, but we predominantly eliminated the issues of getting jammed and losing a few logistics/guys before getting out or killing hostile jammers. Next came the 1600mm plate versions and higher Kin resists to fight drakes. Basically we would sit out at range and kill anything that came out to get in range (harbingers, hurricanes, brutix) while tanking the Drakes with massive Kin resists.
2nd Disclaimer: this does not work against the 'LОL 100 man drakе gangs' cuz no amount of resist or repping saves you against the alpha and painters on 100 drakes.
Fittings for the ships are below‚ but again:
