WWWD?

So you are the orange fleet admiral and you spot the enemy in this formation.

What do?

Chase the tail of their formation so it becomes some ouroboros autofellatio shit

>What do?
Die

...

im crying

Plough through. Full speeed ahead

In any strategic situation you should always ask, what would Bittenfeld do?

If it is so easy, then why do the germans keep winning?

Directly attack their loins with our mouths!

He would initiate a forceful penetration even tho he knows that it's a trap.

Then he would ask for reinforcements.

...

Depends on the environment as well as the ship types involved.
Mainly where the guns are placed on the ships.

Assuming space, and front facing guns, see: In water with guns on the sides of the ship,you're fucked, try to ram through the center ASAP, taking an oval shaped formation in order to protect as many of the ships in the center as possible.

This will hopefully diminish the effect of crossing the t.

From there, it really depends on what the other fleet admiral does.

Call for reinforcements in either case.

This is the twin headed snake right? It has no weak points. Both ends of the snake are a offensive force, while the middle is either a bait or strong enough to hold its own. There is no rear of this formation, its all offensive.

I would retreat while firing and once i have gained enough distance i would see if the enemy breaks formation somewhere to lure me in. Instead of going for the weak spot (the obvious trap, i would go for the strong spots on either side of the trap, take a formation of two wedges and break trough the formation in two places. The middle part that they intentionally made weak to lure me in will be weak and get taken out first, so most of my forces can concentrate fire on the forces left and right to them. After the breaktrough, both forces will join up and escape.

I would turn 360 and retreat.

I open fire since we have our main cannons trained on them while they have their main cannons pointing up each others assholes like retards.

why don't you autists keep it in one thread?

Wow, I never thought that the twin headed snake would be what Blue Fleet Admiral was trying.

I would probably fall for the trap, a la Bittenfeld, albeit not knowing it was a trap.

Without a rear guard though in blue's case. Also, the possibility of encirclement too, I would also maybe try to concentrate on breaking through the right flank of Blue's formation instead of the two pronged breakthrough you've suggested.

This is because the ships are seem to be heading toward the left. And I believe it would take more time for the ones ahead to turn around and try to support/encircle Orange.

Realize that in real life space is not 2D and wake up.

>Realize that in real life space is not 2D
Actually, the show realized it in around episode 30, when they had some more 3 dimensional battles. Then they sorta forgot about it again.

Realize that in real life space, both fleets can move in all directions too.

This would mean by flying "under" the enemy, the enemy, in turn would just "sink" lower to match the 2D Plane. Arguably by moving under, you are actually exposing more of yourself, the ship, to the enemy and they just have to re-pivot and rearrange their battle formation to accommodate.

This would also put your guns unable to shoot at the enemy too.

This is why the ships are designed to be very long, with guns only front facing, to not expose as much as yourself to the enemy as possible.

I thought this was cool, since it was an important battle, it happens very rarely too sometimes like the 8th (?) Battle of Iserlohn, when Yang is being audited, or any battle in Iserlohn,

Having all the ships being on the same plane like facing each other in an imagined 2D landscape, arguably keeps everything more easily understand by the officers in charge and for the audience.

Nah, Reinhard owned Yang in their last battle because he did some non-2D maneuver while biting his finger.

I wonder how that would work in an organized fashion when you have millions of ships not as maneuverable as the dogfighters.

Go under it.

Yang lost because Reinhand's bitch attacked El Facil and took it over. Yang could of killed him after that but decided against it.

Turn 90 degrees to the right..
Move left while fighting out of dodge.

or

move up/down and run

Yeah, ok. My point was that they do still use non-2D movements beyond episode 30.

I am pretty sure that the formation spread in all directions. I mean, look at every shot of fleet formation ever. It will be useless to move up or down and expose your weak sides.

Just don't build ships the size and weight of small planets or, if you do, don't take them to battle. Problem solved. You do realize large things are way easier to move outside gravity wells?

He lost through a political dispute and his own principal conduct, not by a tactical warfare. How in one sense he did won his victory philosophically for his homeland through the conversation with reinhard.

Also note that communication is constantly jammed by radar neutralizer. You can stretch your formation wider freely in space, but it would just give the enemy a better position to break your form.

Yeah, but precise fleet movements still take enormous amounts of skill and planning. Even during some of the battles in the show, you'll see fleets fall apart because of poor piloting and inept ship commanders.

Also, they must have insane computers for cancelling out all possible velocity vectors. Coming to complete 'stop' is a bitch in 3D space.

Fire everything
