GoonSwarm Federation: The porn zone
I was going to paste this into the Jewgyn thread, but I figure if we continue to fuck with them we should have a central thread to post the spoils.
This is from the fight yesterday:

yeah, the preferred shiptype for ecm will be scorpions as we'll need to outpace their potential 70km range. Theres 10 scorps left on alliance contract right now, get them while you can!

It wouldn't have been quite so bad if there had of been more of a focus on ECM, Laz called for Amarr jammers during form up but looking at the killmails lots of Drakes didn't have them. They only had 40 Battleships, we get marginally lucky on rolls and the incoming DPS would have been far more manageable.
I managed to get off a surprising amount of jams, jams are good, fit jams.

More like they'd just warp their short-range Abaddons on top of our sniper BS and rape them to death while shrugging off the snipers' pathetic DPS like it was nothing.

You guys are fucking retarded‚ why are you bringing caps on the field against Pandemic "Two supercaps for every member" Legion?
For that matter, why did we even bother trying to save this dumb tower a second time anyway? Supercaps are the only relevant measure of an alliance's ability to project power in EVE since dominion and our supercap fleet is still way too small to use. Either bring lots of friends (and their supercaps) to fights or don't bother, you're just wasting money and giving PL additional incentive to keep shooting moons, fuck.

I think this is the general sentiment around here, and the only way to really counter PL would be if the NC came home and simply outblobbed PL's supers. If PL had another y2 style welp they'd probably leave pretty quickly, as mood turns fast once you start losing.

why we not use fleet bs?
fleet bs 150+ km with scorpions with drake-dictors support will be able help win.
i think reimbursement cost of bs near 25-40 mil and dps more than hacs and drakes.
i see reimbursement topic and see hundreds mil isk wich we spend to ship as lachetis or huginin. they die very quikly and dont help for win.
for win we must change millitary doctrine.

Abaddons can fit an absolutely fuckoff amount of buffer and they actually bring logistics. It's like dropping a nuke on mount everest. Yeah you'll put a hole in it but it's not going anywhere for a long time. You're basically seeing all the gang types that previously would have been countered by a titan doomsday and how hilariously broken they are in it's absence.

The only way to beat PL is to nationalize isk bots. Then have Lenin show up and hand out supercaps.

I'm really not sure why people are arguing about what type of subcaps we had there last night. We had no capitals worth mentioning on the field to deal with what they had‚ so we would have needed a lot more subcaps (of whatever type) to begin dealing with those titans in the first place. Drake fleet, vexor fleet, whatever, they would all have been pretty useless.
I mean changing subcap type would obviously have helped against the abaddons, but they weren't the reason we lost that tower.

Blob anyone enough with any type of ships and you'll beat them. PL's hellcat abaddons are literally the perfect counter for drakes with their massive sig radius and weakness to EM.
Which is why we will lose everytime even with a notable numbers advantage. This is before you factor in PL's supercaps.

Siawyn, subcap engagements right now in Eve are pretty paper > rock > scissors at the moment. Drake blobs counter AHAC fleets which counter Battleship fleets which counter Drake blobs.
The factors which make drake blobs appeal more to GSF right now than battleship / AHAC gangs are:
1) Time required to train into. We have a coalition of TEST, TNT, WiDot, Severance, FA that sometimes fly with us, not to mention the vastly different skill plans / ship tastes of most goons. You can train into a drake a hell of a lot quicker than a BS/T2 Large Guns, or an Armor HAC. So Drake/Shieldfleet has the advantage of getting most people into the right ships. That being said, if you look at our shield fleets, you'll still see a lot of canes, harbingers, myrmidons, megathrons, and whatever else.
2) Drakes scale better in lag. If you pack 1400+ people into a system, lag favors drakes. MWD gets stuck on, not using cap, missiles keep going, the laggier the battle, the more the fight favors drakes. The enemy has to chew through a Battleship's worth of EHP on each drake, while the drake permanently MWDs around, while AHAC become less and less effective with more and more lag.
3) Drakes are stupidly cheap. In our euro-fight with PL over the PZОZ moon wе pretty much whelped our entire subcap fleet and 5 carriers to save the moon‚ kill 4 lokis, a PL carrier, some guardians and some abaddons. With our 100+ losses, we still lost less isk-wise than PL. So yeah, drake fleet dies in a fire, not a huge loss.
PL's current setup doesn't have many effective counters. If bombers are likely they bubble themselves. Lokis web/paint enemy AHACs so the abaddons can still be used to effect. Against caps they drop their own and fire doomsdays. Ewar is a viable option, but it really needs its own dedicated covops/squad commander constantly warping EWAR to different points to avoid bombers. The NC tactic of 3:1 or 4:1 will likely be effective based on the CSAA defense ops, but that would mean an NC redeployment from whatever they think they are doing in Drone Regions, which they are currently strongly resistant to.
TLDR My suggestions: Rejuvenate bomberwaffe, work on FCing ewar. I may spend my learning skills on my cloaky ewar alt to get WC 5 and try my hand at warping ecm around grid.

there are many goons wich can fly on bs with t2 guns and many who may only t2 drake.
we can do mix fleet wich will include shield bs such as rokh,tempest,scorpion, may be raven and typhon and support with ship - huricane, drake and dictors and of couse shield logistic ships.
scorpions work on enemy logistic ship and all logistic die very quick. drake and dictors fight with 0 km from enemy fleet. Оur bs flit on optimal - 60 or 150 km.

Well what do you know, our six months of flying nothing but shieldfleet has made us inflexible and easy to predict, which is something I prophesied six months ago on these very forums

I flеw a scorpion on both of the pzoz fights yesterday on a well-skilled EWAR alt and ECM doesn't work that often on their guardians. On a scorpion with 5 amarr jams I was trying to jam two guardians and an abaddon. Micro-managing two jams per guardian I might manage to keep the guardian jammed around 1/3 of the time‚ while I could leave that jammer I put on Viper Shizzle's Abaddon running on auto while giggling to myself at his imagined nerd-rage.
FCs can make the call to direct ECM to jam enemy dps and ignore logistics (thus making the fight very unfun for PL, with nobody able to kill anyone else), or FCs can combine scan resolution RSD with quick changing target calling to try and kill enemy ships before logistics can lock. The second option is not very useful with our current fleet composition given travel time of missiles, abaddon tank, etc.

We didn't listen!!!!!
It's been said elsewhere, but the PL abaddon fleet would also murder AHACs. They're an even worse counter than drakes are at the moment.

Well‚ ѕhort rangе battleship fleets‚ if warped on top of theirѕ would stop еveryone bombing‚ and would be equally effective againѕt еach other‚ except for the fact that they have far more logiѕtics 
It would aso scalе up with numbers‚ ѕomеthing we generally have plenty of. We seriously should consider straight up copying them.
