Tactics/Strategy help. Answering your questions.

Really once you've lost navy you've lost navy. Once you lose your options for getting back in the water are incredibly inneficient; if they weren't there'd be no point to early aggression. The key is to scout and know what your opponent is doing. If you are playing against aggressive players (that you think will push you hard at t2) you should avoid UEF.

Fatboy vs. Navy is one of the things I see new players do a lot that is just awful. It has battleship DPS, shit HP, and costs 4x more. If you have that much mass and you've lost navy you're better off putting mass into alternative eco sources like massfabs and RAS SACUs than into a useless fatboy.

No one builds a Fatboy for the HP - and considering that Battleships are the primary target a comparable DPS is acceptable. The strength which the Fatboy and Demolishers both have over the Klink Hammer is their being mobile units. As such they can be better protected by stealth fields. Baring the TML, or T3 artillery, the Fatboy is the only UEF land asset capable of engaging with Battleships.

I would however suggest that amphibious tank, torpedo bomber, and T3 gunship spam are going to be the better options. But for these to work your team needs air control.

a fatboy is worth 35 Demolishers

a fatboy with three guns on targets (best case) is like 750 dps, considering all of it hits (it wont)

35 Demolishers gives 2625 dps, considering all of it hits (it wont)

On topic: If your enemy is UEF/Seraphim, you can shoot MML's at their destroyers because of their short range, but as a UEF player being knocked off of beach your life is essentially forfeit, Scout more, win more

Fatboy is useless vs battleships period Hawkei. Stealth means absolutely nothing; countered by spamming a 40 mass unit. The only land asset capable of effectively engaging battleships for any faction (from inland not walking in the ocean) is the Scathis.

Quick question, if I suspect my opponent is preparing to telesnipe me, and there is no safe water around to hide my acu, what is the cheapest way to gurantee safety for my acu?
