    One more thing about ramming. Armour matters. This is why Orks and Imperial Navy has strong front armour. It's meant for ramming. If you do front to front ramming with factions with avarage armour like 50 agaisnt Ork with armour of 80+ you will take more dmg then he will.

    #1 Fighter Vanguard: Sometimes sending your fighters out on a suicide reconnaissance mission will come back to bite you when you need to intercept enemy ordnance or bombers. Sending your fighters out far enough ahead of your fleet as a deterrence against torpedoes and fighters can be a good call. BUT you need to know how big and good your factions fighter wings are; not all fighters are made equal.
    #2 Be adaptable: So you're up against someone who's build just happens to beat yours because he came up against many people with that same build. Ship combinations don't mean squat if you don't use your head. Figure out how you can beat your opponent with what you have and take away what he has that could beat you. Every little advantage you have and make will help.

    Oh boy, I had been looking for a way to see my weapon arcs while in game, and had never found the expended menu. I wish there was a simple key to make all arcs visible, the same way that Warhammer does it by holding Spacebar. In any case, thanks for the tips!

    From what I know of the lore, PE, the feeding tentacles aren't actually eating the crew of the enemy ship. They're just being used to deposit swarms of tyranids on board.

  • @TheNomnomnom0815
    @TheNomnomnom0815 5 років тому +2

    I feel like you missed an important point about ramming. The Tyranids have ships specifically designed for it, namely the ones with "giant claws" weapons in the front. They negate all ramming damage from the front, so you can charge into anything and everything as much as you want as long as those claws/jaws aren't destroyed. It's especially nasty if you manage to charge your nom-ship at the enemy in such a way that it ends up near their backside, so it can just keep nibbling at their engines, where more often than not weapons cannot reach.
    In some instances you can even ram enemy ships in such a way as to turn their most dangerous firing arcs away from your own ships.
    Hope this helps. (:

  • @XMysticHerox
    @XMysticHerox 5 років тому +2

    The lock on target totally depends on the faction and ship I´d say. If you use any Eldar faction you should use it obviously otherwise your ships will stop moving and die. With tau there is not much point really since they generally have front arcs and don´t need to move. All in all whenever your ship is not Eldarand has mostly front facing weapons you should just use it and reduce the amount of micro necessary. Broadside ships are dangerous though. The AI will ram your ships into each other and fly them into asteroid fields. And they will often not keep the enemy in firing arcs. So I´d say if you are using broadside ships you should try to avoid it and take manual control.
