[1.15 HARD]Sevastopol ONLY run, Pt.5: Getting Confused by Tac Groups + LAST Strike Group

V1.15/1.151 Run with Sevastopol Only.
Rules:
Only starting ships allowed are 1 Sevastopol, and a minimalist ship to carry 2x R3N missiles into the campaign.
Any obtained ships are disposed of ASAP. Given that ships can only be obtained midgame while in cities, simply selling them is the usual path to disposal. As the parts would be added to the inventory of the city, any parts may be kept.
Sevastopol may only be 'minimally' edited, IE: No Armour / Hull editing. Her armour and hull scheme MUST remain as standard, however given that the Sevastopol is canonically an incomplete ship, the readjusting of internal parts as well as adding / removal of modules / sensors / guns is allowed. Further rules in that regard: No mounting blocked strategic missiles.
I Don't plan on any major edits to her engine or gun scheme, simply adjustment and addition to her 57mm gun battery and a single D30 addition to cope with weight. I may turn to engine spam for post-khiva.
I suppose it counts as a Let's Play / Letsplay?

Why don't you use your Zeniths?

[@clankplusm]

A handful of reasons but mostly chalk it up to effectiveness and habit.
>If you fire a Zenith at a target then you are best off shooting another target so as to not waste zenith potential
>You can shoot your own zeniths down
>In SG fights, there are almost always enemies on screen that field sprints
>If following mental cycle theory, it's a complete waste of time / cycles to select targets based off of zeniths and fire them
>They're not terribly effective a lot of the time. Best used for salvoing at an enemy you arent fighting
Stuff like that and then just a bred habit from there of forgetting they exist. Same reason I suck at using spritns as zenith defence. I've never built up that kind of reaction.

@@clankplusm why u dont use 2a37

[@clankplusm]

Sevastopol's secondaries are 57mm. Is CIWS better for zenith defence? Definetely. But then it wouldnt't feel like I'm flying Seva. 57mm with massing is arguably more powerful anyways.

@@clankplusm I see. I have begun to appreciate the Flower (and similar ships or derivatives) more lately, as it can essentially cripple or kill a heavy ship (or even two) from the outset.

@@highadmiralbittenfield9689 it's less I believe zeniths are bad and more, I think they aren't entirely worth the effort, plus I'm lazy to relearn my current habits.
