How Do You Stay Alive Assaulting a Flagship?
Hi guys, just wondering have you successfully destroyed a Flagship without getting Fragged? Most of the times in Fleet Battle Vs AI my team mates and myself would get fragged by the Star Destroyer or...

@Reposter There are valid angles that will let you attack with minimal ship turret convergence as well. For instance with the SD, there's several points at which the ship's own silhouette can block off some shots, especially from the lower front 30% at a low steep angle. The rebel ship has significantly less safe attack points but most of them are on the ventral side of the craft. Finding the spots that work well enough to attack will cut down on getting swatted.
@EmmyV7 I always seem to get Tractor Beamed whenever I try to attack the Power System of the SD, how do you break free of Tractor Beams and how do you avoid them? Can they be targeted and destroyed before they snare your Starfighter?
- @Reposter Ok, that's completely fair, and I got snagged hardcore for the first like, day. It's a radius thing. There's a "I catch you" radius around where it snares (Likely a circle primitive used as a trip point) and it seems to sit on the underside, center of mass. So like, let's use the Star Destroyer again because it has a clearer point, the second, main fighter bay on the ventral side, and like, another 20ish percent away from that is the "Aha, gotcha" zone for the tractor, so if you're hitting from like, aft section, 33~47 degree to target section on that power system, you can get in close (But not too close) to nail it. Additionally it seems the tractor is a wrist slap for going for that particular point early, instead of whittling down the shields. Just based on how they built both ships.
- @EmmyV7 How do you escape from a Tractor beam? The Flagships Tractor Beam seem to do damage to my Starfighter but I am not certain is it from the Tractor beam or some Turbolaser Turret...
