Shoot

Whats is the best weapon to shoot down battle ships?

Fusion Defense.

 

Probably not the answer you want.

 

If you are using Interceptors then you must stack 4 on a battleship before sending them in. They must be armed with dual fusion ball launchers. Likely you will lose one interceptor, rarely two but sometimes none. If it happens near the end of the month then who cares.

 

As I recall one firestorm with dual plasma should do the trick but it's likely to still be in the shop when the NEXT BB comes by. Of course stacking firestorms ain't against the rules.

 

I suppose four Avengers each with dual fusion ball will do the trick but that might be overkill.

yAP thats the answer i wanted. Thanx dude. In other words there is no safe way to shoot it down.

I'll wait till it lands thne unleash heck .

i never used fusion.

 

plama is all the way i go with. no need ammo for it. ammo is a headacke.

 

yes fusion is stronger but plasma s unlimited.

I Concur with Mark. Fusion ball launcher suck because they only carry 2 ammo! That is pathetic! And they don't even out range a battleship, so other than $ there is no reason to make fusion ball launcher in my opinion.

Oh I use dual plasma too. The only use for fusion ball launcher is to mount them on interceptors if you MUST shoot down Battleships and you don't have your own UFOs yet. Four Interceptors armed with dual fusion launchers will smash a battleship, with less losses than if they are armed with plasma. Usually I lose one interceptor but a few time I have actually lost none (sure I was lucky but still, you feel like king-of-the-world when it happens, I tell ya).
