I've still been skunked by DDs detecting me before I can fire though! It happens with TMO: no guarantees there at all. Ain't that why we love it?

Here's the outcome of too many convoy approaches in TMO:


Fail!
I'm not smart with all of this. Like a previos poster going from OKane to Cromwell to Vector all in one attack. Not sure how you set that up, unless you just put yourself so the bearing required is right then subtract.


Thinking it through can it not be possible to do OKane, ect..without drawing any lines at all, just have yourself at the right bearing whatever and subtract for aob and shoot by the wire..make sense. That being you already have speed.

I find it difficult to pull off such attacks with contacts off.
