Further confirmation
I know this point has been made several times. By now we all have seen just how effective Siege Missiles are at attacking a base. This video show the CEO of Kixeye steamrolling through my base with a SFB3/Siege Missile fleet. He used 4 Bunker Buster 3s prior to this attack. One on my dock and the other 3 on Victory Mortars.

Dear Swag,
Please do not make any more videos containing such awful misinformation. Even your very own boss knows just how fantastic these weapons are at leveling a base.
Thank you,

I haven't made a video yet using Siege Mortars, I used Shockwaves.
I might have given him one or two pointers in chat :P He's no where near as bad as people make out... I'm waiting on the wrath of Foley though.
I think he was referring to your missile video and claims they couldn't level a base Nick. That and the fact that his base just got face-rolled with them.

Yes, I was in fact referring to the video that you created explaining that splash damage was very important in breaking a base thus missiles would not be effective. My apologies for not being more explicit.
I just left you a present in your base.
All, I know who Swag is in real life. I don't spend a lot of time on the forums and I don't have a sheet in front of me matching all aliases/handles to real names.

Um.... Not at all. He knew his fleet and what he needed to neutralize in order to be successful. Hitting the dock first was tactically important to prevent fleet launches between missiles. If you look at the video you will notice the ships do hot have Hailstorms on them. This means he HAD to take out as many VM's as he could before his run. Frankly it is a very well executed attack.
dang :P that hurt ...... you stopped my hammer head research low blow LOL......
a video for you know

Ah, gotcha. But there are way too many differences between the two videos to make a solid comparison. Will used 4 bunker busters and I only used one. He went for a speed run and I held back to limit the damage I took. His ships took a LOT more damage than mine. The base configuration was very different. I didn't use Hammerheads (that now have more armor and better turning speed).
I make videos to try and limit any misinformation; what you see is what you get.
Good to know anti's won't be nerf'ed soon cause he don't know about them yet...

I should imagine its hard to miss him in the office with his appearance...Anyway padawan, stop being lazy and using free rockets when you know all those platforms could have been taken from the outside with your missile ships. Alternatively you could have just used the hailstorm ship as I suggested previously and just roll in with one fleet.
He knows how to use them just fine he's just bloody lazy and decided to use rockets to take out the vms

Anyway put that a side, I'm interested in how your attack 6 days ago went and what was on those battleships. Any info on how the attack went would be appreciated as it all helps to improve my base one way or another.
Now if I log on tomorrow and my base is destroyed...

Nice save. Swag is redeemed.

i also sank 5 of his battle ships after 4 rockets and now he uses 3 rockets and only looses 1 boat -_- either my base went **** all of a sudden or something is overpowered wink wink

So I guess my base is going to be destroyed when I wake up then?
I think it's all the base attacking lessons Spack has been giving him.

I do not dispute any of the things you have said here. The message that most of the community received whether by accident or design from your video was that you were saying that missiles were ineffective as a base attack weapon. As a result there was considerable backlash by the community focusing on both your tactics and the base you attacked. As you well know, there have been other videos posted here showing what a Siege Missile/Hailstorm fleet can do. That combo alone would negate the need for the Bunker Busters. In addition those other videos us FF's like you did. My video simply punctuates a very long statement that the community has been saying.
In my opinion, the video made was premature and incomplete. It showed the weapon's "ineffectiveness" under a very controlled set of circumstances. It was overly reliant on to many variables. Now that the weapon has had some strong "real world" application i think it is obvious what the logical conclusion is. I think it would be fair to offer the community an apology for not fully testing the SFB Missile fleet more extensively before making your video.
Missiles were an ineffective base busting weapon.....until now.

Btw, I use the rockets because I like them! They go boom.
M....sleep tight tonight.

LOL i can relate to the rockets going BOOOOM.. lol its is pretty cool.
I try and think my base out strategically but sadly if i add 2 - 4 flaks my base defense would be to low to keep out other fleets such as mortar fleets ...the addition to missiles have made base defenses obsolete and the addition of the 96 range it has made it very hard to come up with a solid design since you need to make more space on each side
I know paul recee doesn't like the @ design but really do we have to go back to block designs
Attachment not found.
this was my first design (before base attacking) and i would say its the best option atm lol
