Eldar Fleet coming to Battlefield Gothic: Armada

Remember a few days ago when we said that the Orks would be the last race to come to Battlefleet Gothic: Armada before launch? Turn out that we were wrong, next week sees the arrival of the technologically advanced guerilla fighters, the Eldar. The game is being released on the 21st April, but the beta is rolling on in the meantime. 

Fitted with the finest technology in the universe, Eldar ships are fast and highly manoeuvrable. They pack serious firepower, with incredible damage projection and application. Their strategy is based around hit-and-run assaults, taking their targets by surprise while inflicting maximum damage. Their speed allows them to disappear as fast as they arrived, as shown in the above trailer. Eldar ships however are as fragile as they are fast, lacking in any heavy armour. With the exception of their battleships, their craft are not fitted with shields, instead relying on advanced Holo-fields in conjunction with their speed and agility to avoid incoming fire. This makes them extremely hard to track and hit with conventional weaponry. Destroying Eldar ships’ engines is the best way to keep them at close-range, ensuring you have enough time to inflict lethal damage.
