You're taking a lot of unnecessary hits. The problem is you are fighting like a ship of the line. Think of the Defiant as more of a cloaked fighter. Cloak, get close, unload the disruptors, run away, cloak again. Same with torpeoes. Cloak, unload as many torpedoes as you can, then cloak again before you get targeted.
@@Ds9Defiant1701B After seeing the match, I concur with @churchulainn9275's assessment. The Defiant Class is not a ship of the line but a PT Boat of WW II, where hit and run tactics were the order of the day.
I take it none of you remember the fight between the Defiant and the Lakota. And while the Defiant would have won it certainly took good hits - and the Lakota was "only" an upgraded Excelsior. Besides, repeatedly cloaking also repeatedly offers clear shots on the unshielded hull. Remember Bashir advising against cloaking in that same fight. Long story short: it is doubtful that the Defiant could win a fight with the Sovereign. Especially when you consider that starships are usually not controlled like arcade game fighters, among other factors impacting the outcome of a fight.
@@robertmandl9326 Not disagreeing with you on the history but I'm afraid that information is irrelevant. My observations are purely from the gameplay shown here which may or may not follow the rules we expect.
@@chuchulainn9275 True. And a solid tactic too, considering game mechanics. The only flaw is the quite immediate reaction of AI ships once one deckoaks. But it still might work.
It'd take a lot more than two Defiants to kill a Sovereign - I'm thinking no less than five, and probably closer to eight or ten. Defiant is capable and has decent weapons, but it's a ship _literally_ designed and built to hunt in _wolf packs._
