OVERVIEW
The TME-55 is a conventional heavy cruiser, with most of its weapons in the standard broadside arcs instead of the usual TME all-around defensive pattern. What sets the Tiger apart from other like ships is its blazing acceleration capability -- with the capability to accelerate at 2.5g for extended periods and an emergency acceleration of 5g, the Tiger is nearly twice as nimble as its likely opponents the Black Lion- and Sovetskii Soyuz- classes.
CAPABILITIES
With two 40-class and twelve 30-class naval autocannon, twelve medium naval particle projector cannons, and six heavy naval lasers for capital weapons, it can meet the challenge of most enemy vessels. If the fighting gets close, forty medium-range missile forty-racks and forty large pulse lasers can quickly riddle an enemy. Its superior armor protection gives it an edge in firefights.
The standard tactic with a Tiger is to use its superior mobility to perform a fast raking attack against an enemy vessel's front or rear (preferably rear), moving in and out of engagement range to circle around and strike again. The Tiger's twelve assault fighters allow an additional punch and are usually launched after the enemy's fighter assets have been destroyed by the Tiger's withering standard weapon arsenal.
DEPLOYMENT
The Tiger is a very popular WarShip.
