I did not have to use groundfire to kill the PD. I simply told the frig to attack it. He got in range and began firing with no retaliation.

"So technically if you make the frigate go tangent to the range of the T1 PD, you can use a frigate to kill the PD. This of course does not apply to the Aeon frigate which has more range. If you don't do this, then the PD is going to hit your frigate. Good luck Commander!"

if you micro the boat in (or ground fire the uef frig from max range), it works fine

pressing attack on the pd the boat will come into range of the pd, probably because it needs time to decelerate or whatever

I am sorry LichKing this is incorrect

Sometimes using frigs vs PD is beneficial...

Or something like that atleast.

perhaps

"You can build on top of cliffs if it's in your engineers build range"

this quote does apply to any builder (acu) and from on top of cliffs too, by logic

Maybe test it with placing a move command instead of giving an attack order?

I am sorry LichKing this is incorrect, only aeon frigates can do since they have same range like other factions submarine guns. Therefore their subs dont have guns. In Datebase is written that frigates have 28 range and pd 26 but the model of frigates is to big. The pd is shooting back and you cant avoid it. Submarines and Aeon frigates can shoot out of range.

I hope people got the point what i wanted to tell with this:
-Aeon and Seraphim torpedo defense weapons work only good if you face your enemy

It means for example aeon tempest has so strong torpedo defense it can 0 the damage of 2 t3 sera submarines. If you turn it arround so enemy ships are behind it it hardly can stop a single torpedo. Same for their other ships. Sera works alike. Submarines for example of aeon can only use the torpedo defense if they are close to each other and standing with front in direction enemy means attacking. Once they turn arround and drive away they cant stop any torpedo damage anymore. Easy to stop are weapons with low ammountof torpedoes like destroyers and atlantis for example.

try not to include faf lingo in the tips if you can, we understand it, sure; but these tips imo are made for total novices

speaking of:

"Surround tech one point defences with walls to increase their lifespan."
"Build radar installations to see enemy units before they get too close."

- Frigates outrange t1 point defense and often can be used to raid coastal mexes.
- mantis outrun tanks easily
- Percival + Titan is a combination from heaven. (Not the FAF Heaven)
- MMLs are the turtle breaker and they overwhelm any TMD.
- T3 arty crushes T3 turtles that have ravagers. It also has splash so it will damage multiple shields if they overlap.

-Aeon and Seraphim torpedo defense weapons work only good if you face your enemy
-Only seraphim and cybran spyplanes have a sonar
-UEF Stinger t2 GUnships can carry units
-All t1 submarines except aeon have a gun if undived which has more range than a t1 point defense
