Confed Battle Group Jumps Into Nexus Skirmish Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

The most active Wing Commander mod for Nexus has continued to develop its gameplay mechanics and round out its fleet. Functional turrets, engines and docking ports have been added to the Midway class Carrier, and a Kilrathi Light Destroyer model has been converted for use. The latter four shots below also show a Shrike strike on a Nephilim Tiamat. Multiple waves of bombers deploy and launch continuous attacks on the dreadnought's vital components.

Exarch has been answering various questions about WC Apocalypse at Crius.net and described the battle in more detail.
The destruction of the Dreadnought may seem easy, but really, it wasn't. I played this skirmish multiple times, and this was the first time the Shrikes actually took her down successfully. The Shrikes carry 6 Valiant light torpedoes. It takes approximately 70 of them to destroy the Tiamat. There were 6 squadrons of 3 fighters, so that means a bunch of torps were shot down by the ship's turrets or the Barracudas escorting her. When you add in fighter cover, bigger ships than the Barracuda corvettes, etc., the battles are going to be very interesting.
