So the more and more I read, the more I see people saying about how their particular fleet is underpowered. I just read it in the Imperial vessels by age article, and was surprised to see the author say that Imperials are.
So I've decided to start a poll of sorts, I want you to list the top (well bottom) three worst fleets in your opinion and I'll keep tally. You can say why if you want.
For me:
Dark Eldar; Dependent on overcosted escorts, stuck in the middle of the fight whilst not being able to take a bullet.
CWE: Similar, unlike Exodites their escorts are poor so they can't take the same advantages
Orks: slow and undergunned to compensate for it.

lol...
Why did Deadshane win Adepticon twice with an Ork fleet?
DE = good one trick pony fleet. Pretty excellent if you play them like they should be played. Xisor never lost with them. Zhai Morenn neither.
CWE=good fleet.
later more.

No fleet is underpowered.. you just need to realize that they all require different game play styles to be effective.
-
i think most fleet can be powered to win
so is the original question referring to an average "fluffly" build only?
-
Agreed with both.
No fleet in BFG is underpowered. Though it is the ship selection from a fleet that can make your fleet stronger or worser.
For example: going the Merchant route for Tau GW versus the Explorer/Hero route.

If we are talking about basic fleet engagement senario i can split fleets in 3 tiers based on their power:
Tier 1 - all Eldar, necrons, tyranids
Tier 2 - all other races
Tier 3 - Orks, Armada Space marines
So based on my judgement i would say that ORKs require more love atm )
-
Given my win-loss ratio, I would suspect that the most underpowered fleet is whichever one I happen to be fielding on any given day...

I agree there are few 'weak' fleets.
I know some people around here see space marines as less capable, but then (A) you can always take a Battlefleet Solar fleet, and (B) those things that a strike cruiser does well, it does awesomely well.
What you see as the weakest fleet will also depend on the balance of players in your area. If you have a lot of chaos players with a Carnage-class fetish (like here) and/or necron players then you will see eldar as proportionately less effective than others might.
DE = good one trick pony fleet. Pretty excellent if you play them like they should be played. Xisor never lost with them. Zhai Morenn neither.
Am currently starting a kabalite fleet since I saw the new jetbikes and went 'want'. Is there a decent exposition on tactics and/or a battle report floating about somewhere?

That's the real problem right there, a lot of people only play a basic fleet engagement.
Boring.
