if you have a couple of destroyers toe to toe firing torpedoes at eachother they will have about zero chance of hitting due to point defence fire. this is without using any flanking tactics.
But if you fire the torpedoes and the instant they have fired and are on the way, turn timeskip to max the torpedoes will hit almost every time. It almost seems like Point defence fire dosnt have time to update hits on torpedoes when time flows that fast. So its possible to kill almost any ship using that trick.

An example on how easy you can do things with this exploit. In the highlands compaign (First after training) when the hegemony fleet arrives, i played a Desron, Dosnt matter wich one, i went with the shadow. Then i send a sacrificial frigate a bit away from the rest of the squadron and sent a probe straight into where you can see the enemy cap ships using the tactical screen (siluetes against background). That of course also highlights the frigg shooting the probe so he gets fighter swarmed and will be dead shortly. This will also cause the rest of your fleet to start to fighterswarm the enemies that our probe highlighted. But it will be all over untill fighters arrive.

Meanwhile the rest of the Shadow Desron has been waiting behind the enemy taskforce on emcon 1. waiting for the friggs etc to rush the probe launcher ship. Unfortuantely in this example only the destroyers and fighhters left. friggs stayed. So Its manticore carrier plus Friggs VS 1 Shadow destroyer. left the rest behind to demonstrate how easy it is. Then advanced on the manticore. when in torpedo range just use the timeskip when torpedoes fire and it wont matter what the friggs does unless they luck out with a missile. The Manticore Dragon class carrier is dead quickly due to torps. If it has time to Quantum away. just send the remainder of your taskforce to a system each. you wll find the dragon easily that way and just finish the job. And as it was the carrier of the hegemony taskforce this means you won the campaign without having to spank the separatists and without having to persue the hegemony fleet into hegemony space all with 1 decoy frig and 1 lone destroyer

excellent find:)

we will help milo perfect this game if it kills us(and him!)
