I always have fun with Broadswords in numbers. I have them drop the swarmers on a cruiser then Rearm for a quick overload/panic vent.
It makes for a decent, if expensive one-two.
I actually liked the Warthogs for a little while. I was experimenting and I tried 4+ wings escorting two Ventures, which seems to be an appropriate role being that they're both slow as hell and never outrun one another. Not to mention the
huge increase to overall firepower and PD.
As long as the 'cruiser blob' has interceptor wings to screen for bombers and Broadswords they're virtually unstoppable against middleweight fleets.
More than three cruisers ends up being a problem though since you've spent all your damned money buying and supporting Warthogs instead of strike craft you silly!
At which point the whole plan falls flat on its ass.
There are definitely better boats out there fellas.
