not too long ago, in an ocean not too far, far away ....
SEA WARS V: THE MEHSON STRIKES BACK
'tis the tale...
battle raging as planned...just that with 5 minutes left, the rebel scum with calamari cruisers lyon, anshan and akatsuki vs the imperial star destroyers mehson, fuso, hipper and algerie.
not too bad eh, except that the rebels have 2 caps vs imperial 1...and we're down by about 100 points.
with no one wanting to push B cap...we've to send mehson at about 90% hp yoloing into B knowing 1 or 2 dds sitting there with lyon coming out of C cap.
fuso was too far away to help...
using the mehson to screen both the hipper and algerie following from behind, anshan made the mistake of coming in too close and was spotted. one salvo of mehson's HE shells sent the dd to her final destination, in exchange for 2 torps hit from a full salvo of 8...took another 40% of hp off the mehson.
of course with super healing, reduced the damage taken by quite a bit.
kept sailing up the cap, final dd also showed herself, but for a fraction of a second..was lucky that main guns have finished reloading and turret was pointing in the right direction...unleashed another HE salvo into the general direction of where dd was thought to be at, and ...voila, akatsuki sent to davy jones's locker..managed to dodge all 3 torps unloaded at the mehson this time.
algerie, with some 90%+ hp when we're pushing B cap, was sunk by the accurate shells of lyon, and we're still down by about 10 points with about 45 seconds left. in the last minute, also manage to hit lyon with 2 salvos which started fires on her too.
was turning around to engage lyon head on, however time's up..another 1 or 2 salvos would have sank her.
with 2 caps down now vs 1, those last secs gave us the win..
conclusion: HE shells OP with Mehson, doesn't even need AP rounds to violate all types of ship.
