The Bellator may be strong, but luckily it's on the lower chain of the SSD line, and with it being isolated on Ord Ibanna with minimum reinforcement, it should be a good chance to take it out. Every SSD has a common weakness; they're vulnerable to concentrated fire from multiple ships, so I would advise against sending your Magnetar since the Bellator will focus down on it and you'll definitely lose it, instead you could try swarming it with cheap destroyers and brawlers like refit Recusants and Providence's, focus down on the engines and shield generators to force the AI to stay and engage you. Even if you did suffer losses, I think it's still gonna be a good trade against the Bellator.
So I end up trying a few different things and dedicate an entire episode to its destruction, spoil alert, I really didn’t want to lose any capital ships or a bunch of ships in general and I built those elite bombers for this reason so I end up using fighters and bombers after further isolating it
@@captonx2 Ah that's fair man, I mean fighters and bombers spam worked too during my Rebel playthrough against a SSD, I hope it's gonna be a really good trade against the Bellator. Looking forward for the next episode!
39:20 Super nervous for this battle, but a win would be huge! 41:00 Flak reduces defense (by 25%), repeating weapons reduce their damage (by 50%). Combine them for best results. 44:18 Clutch retreat!
I did NOT know that about repeating weapons (if I did I forgot) just checked and your right thats pretty huge and I will remember that and mention it going forward.
Ya clutch retreat from the enemy, I didnt say anything just cause they didnt have anything left to kill what little health my magnater had left but you right, also I was like shout out my boy for mentioning the flak weapons of the recusant I think that was you lol
You overate my skills in this game XD. 13 mid to eilte tier infantry with a few tanks plus bothans against my one outpost is not winnable for me, although like you said Bothawui is the planet to do so on as it does have alot of turrets and their highly concentrated.
black sun outposts and turrets are so good against infdantry thooooo just take a good position around the turrets and it will be easier than u think@@captonx2
Your not wrong, being honest like you said I could have inflicted heavy casualties however I wouldn't have won the battle most likely. That would lead me to sending my fleet over there anyways and taken more time up in the video which is why I did that. Unfortunately I have to be conscious of where I spend my time in videos and also I dont think ill lose any ships to that fleet either so that also helps. Hope you understand.
