I have run a few WM races in mid to long games and finally found the best chaff is the destroyer. It is a bit more expensive across the board but the armor you recieve with a destroyer(200)is a large bonus compared to a frigate's (45). It will take a lot more Arm Missle hits than any stack of Frigates.


Uh, a stack of frigates will stop just as many ARM missiles as an equally sized stack of destroyers when designed as chaff. One missile, one kill, and all that.

Once you're designing the DDs to multi-purpose beyond that, or at least to the point they require multiple ARMs to kill, then they're no longer chaff and also quite a bit more expensive to build.

Welcome to the forum.
