The video demonstrates two methods to deal with the A2 Hercules at Jumptown in Star Citizen: destroying the bombs it releases and engaging with nimble fighters. These strategies highlight the importance of timing, firepower, and maneuverability when facing the A2 Hercules threat.
In this video, the narrator demonstrates two ways to deal with the A2 Hercules from Crusader Industries, which can pose a threat during operations at Jumptown. The first method involves targeting and destroying the bombs that the A2 Hercules releases, using small ships equipped with sufficient firepower. By attacking and destroying the bombs, the A2 Hercules is left vulnerable and exposed. However, it is important to be cautious as the A2 Hercules is equipped with turrets and a crew who can retaliate.
The second method involves using an Anvil Centurion, which has a range of less than 3km, to target incoming bombs. This allows for easier interception of bombs when they are close to their intended target. During gameplay, the Centurion successfully neutralizes several bombs. Additionally, the video showcases another A2 Hercules, this time a C2 variant, being encountered and dealt with at Jumptown.
While engaging in combat with the A2 Hercules, the narrator switches to a Fury, a nimble and fast snub fighter armed with size three laser repeaters. The Fury proves to be a more difficult target for the A2 Hercules’s turrets, as its maneuverability and smaller size make it harder to hit. The narrator employs hit-and-run tactics, maximizing damage output during capacitor recharge periods. This allows them to continue their operations at Jumptown while keeping the A2 Hercules occupied.
In a surprising turn of events, the narrator accidentally collides with the A2 Hercules during a dangerous maneuver, resulting in the A2’s destruction. Despite the damage sustained, the narrator manages to regain control and safely land their Fury. The video concludes with a reminder of the two methods showcased, destroying the bombs and engaging with small nimble fighters, as effective ways to neutralize the A2 Hercules threat.
Overall, the video provides insights and strategies on how to deal with the A2 Hercules at Jumptown, emphasizing the importance of timing, firepower, and maneuverability when facing this formidable vessel.
