[AAR] Vanguard Provi Fleet

[Tassadar Gantrithor]

[PVP Fleet] 00:00 9/16/2018 - Vanguard Provi Fleet

Fleet started out with roughly 16 in fleet. We departed from Choonka and headed down into Providence. We had three neutral inty/interdictors following behind us. Reported intel from a scout, purposely lagging behind, noted a fleet of Omen Navy Issues trailing.

We proceeded through Catch faster than the Omen Navy gang and back into Providence space to head to the southern regions. Upon entering a back pocket to check an Ice belt for miners, a bubbler from Severance came behind us and stopped in G7AQ-7. Once we got back into G7 from the pocket, a gang of Caracals was detected in our path. Bouncing to a safe and then warping back to FSW-3C we jumped through FSW.

We then proceeded to bubble the gate and close in on the gate to await the caracal gang. Numbers were underestimated and they brought a full fleet of RLM Caracals that was double our size. Once the engagement commenced logi was targeted first and fell quickly. We were able to get a few kills, however, the DPS was overwhelming to our fleet as members died very quickly.

Call outs!

Satoshi was my advanced scout with the bubbler and during the final engagement had the entire gate bubbled once we got on through, locking all of us including the enemy fleet, even with their numbers, within the bubbles.

Report Wrap Up!

As the first appearance of the Deceit fleet doctrine, not many understood the concept and structure design of the fleet but as a whole everyone performed very well with these brand new ships. This will be the first of many fleets to come from the Deceit Fleet.

Much of my initial broadcasting with the final engagement was very slow compared to what it should have been. Target calls were slow and as such DPS was spread amongst targets instead of focusing.

I think it would be interesting to review the battle report: https://zkillboard.com/related/30003710/201809170100/


I'd really question a declaration of a successful doctrine based on this engagement. against a similar number of anti-frigate cruisers with no logi, everyone dead with 2 kills proves it more doesn't work than does to me. I think a more standard composition of 'proper' dps cruisers would have come out on top of that engagement.


I guess the issues with so many jammers was you were probably all jamming a small number of targets, and it's impossible to spread that many jams evenly across that many targets to make it beneficial.

Also judging by the number of capsule losses and only mentioning a bubbler on your side, it looks like you effectively suicided a large proportion of your own fleet by leaving them stuck in their own bubbles?
