They cannot flank the ISDs to hit at their weakly defended engines, and they cannot force the ISDs to spread shield and point defense coverage to cover their flanks. This is due to a variety of reasons:įirst, fighting at max available range diminishes the effect of the Rebels' numerical superiority. As long as the gate is intact by the time the Death Star and the third ISD jumps in, the Rebels lose any hope of extracting the data and getting out alive.Īssuming that two ISDs overmatch and have comparable weapon ranges to the Rebellion flotilla as per your assumption (else it makes no sense to attack) then their best tactic is still to sit on the shield gate and use Fighters and turbolaser barrages to play keep away at max range. They know they have heavy reinforcements quickly incoming which will decisively tilt the fight in their favor.īased on the fighter strafing runs in the movie, I think it's safe to assume that the Rebellion needs some capital ship firepower to take down the gate through conventional means.Īs a result, the Empire's objective at the beginning of the fight boils down to 'keep the Rebellion capital ships away from the gate until reinforcements arrive.' No matter the means, this is their win condition. The Empire had two ISD's on station with limited fighter and gun support from the shield gate itself, versus a numerically superior but technologically inferior Rebellion flotilla. ||| Join our Discord! ||| Question?
