The sudden shockwave caught the Galactic Empire fighter pilots accelerating into position to drop their bombs completely off guard. In an instant, more than a hundred fighters were shot down!
Whether ordinary TIE/LN light fighters or the latest TIE Interceptor fighters, all were brought down without distinction!
The fireballs from the explosions of over a hundred fighters lit up the battlefield in an instant, then vanished just as quickly. The flammable materials inside those tiny fighters could only sustain the flames for a moment.
The utterly shocked Galactic Empire fighter pilots could only hurriedly pull back, not daring to get too close.
But once they pulled away, the Kingdom of Dawn warships' point-defense fire network immediately became deadly! Dozens more Galactic Empire fighters were shot down in the process.
Under normal circumstances, the tactic for fighter formations attacking enemy capital ships was to rapidly break through the anti-air barrage and close in on the enemy vessels, then maneuver at high speed across a wide area, making it impossible for the capital ships' anti-air turrets to keep up with the fighters' angles of movement and score hits. This was what was known as "speed resistance." As long as you were fast enough that others could not hit you, it was the same as having resistance.
But now, this all-encompassing explosive shockwave kept the fighters from daring to approach those Kingdom of Dawn warships. Yet once they pulled back, they were right within the optimal firing range of the point-defense guns, with the same result: slaughter.
But what if they pulled even farther away and fired Proton Torpedoes? Then the Proton Torpedoes would be easily intercepted, rendering the fighters useless.
In an interstellar battlefield, the main reason fighters existed was that they served as reusable firepower-delivery platforms with greater penetration efficiency. In
