	Azurite Squadron is a high-risk high-reward assassination fleet centered around the Abject Terror, a torpedo cruiser capable of obliterating capital ships in seconds. However, it is vulnerable if spotted before reaching torpedo range. Keep it concealed behind rocks and use your tactical awareness to maneuver from cover to cover into torpedo range, or let the enemy come to you. Face the target using the HDG command to pre-align your torpedo strike and minimize incoming damage with your armored bow. In support is a sensor tugboat for tracking overall enemy movements and arranging ambushes, as well as two rocket shuttles for screening the Abject Terror against flankers and capturing objectives.

76561199189920083: I think these concepts may be a bit advanced for the guide's text body, yet too wordy for a /ref, and a universal range reccomendation per target size may be more simple, though how to decide what range to put in the guide would be very difficult.. I have a video I can provide of AT hitting a target at 4.2km range in testing range and an approximate measurement of range at ignition time, showing it's true range is about 4.05km as shown, so these ranges are verified.

	The [[Ship:ocello#Direct_S3_Missile_Ocello_&_Torpcello:\|Ocello-Class Command cruiser]] sports 42 [[Starter_Fleet_Guide:Azurite#SGT-315_Letter_Opener\|Letter Opener Size 3 Torpedoes]]. The maximum effective range of these weapons is ~~a little under~~ 4km, as while the missile lists ~~4km~~ as it's maximum range, the corkscrew terminal maneuvers that prevent the missiles from being hardkilled bite into the weapon's range. That being said, if one can get the Ocello cruiser within that kill range, there would be no way to escape the 6 Torpedoes it can launch in a salvo. Heavier ANS capital ships will require multiple volleys but you don't need that much and you will need less after hitting the first salvo.		The [[Ship:ocello#Direct_S3_Missile_Ocello_&_Torpcello:\|Ocello-Class Command cruiser]] sports 48 [[Starter_Fleet_Guide:Azurite#SGT-315_Letter_Opener\|Letter Opener Size 3 Torpedoes]]. The maximum effective range of these weapons is about 4km, as while the missile lists 4.2km as it's maximum range in editor, the corkscrew terminal maneuvers that prevent the missiles from being hardkilled bite into the weapon's range. The 4,047 m range listed in the firing panel seems to effectively reflect the actual range from the missile's ignition point, though other factors can vary this range heavily<ref>When missiles are cold-launched from the CLS, they will orientate to the target, then wait to be sufficiently clear of the launching ship before ignition, while their drift speed will inherit the inertia of the ship while launching. This means if Abject Terror is reversing when launching, torpedo range will be about expected, or increase when advancing, with this effect amplified or reduced somewhat by the angle Abject Terror's nose is to the target. When launching from a standstill dead-nose-on, one can expect about 100 additional meters of range otherwise. Additionally, the size of the target may add a few dozen metres, as range to a contact is measured from it's centre and the missile may strike a closer surface. Most importantly however, is the target's closure rate with the missile, which is 172 m/s at a standstill, but if the target is moving into or away from the missile, may add or reduce range in its 23 seconds of flight. The most extreme case is a flank-speed whiplash Sprinter at 62 m/s, which moves at nearly 40% of the torpedoes' speed. Against such a target, the maximum range could potentially be 2.6-5.4km. depending on if the sprinter is running away or towards the torpedoes. in a more typical situation, the closure rate can be quickly calculated approximately by taking the track's Closure Rate (the number shown on the bottom left of a track), subtracting the ship(Abject Terror)'s own speed towards the target (an approximation will be needed if not moving directly towards or away, and an addition instead of subtraction if reversing), and then multiplying that number by 23, to then see how much range the current closure is adding ''to the target'' (not to your torpedo range).</ref>.If you wish to check this at a glance, consult tactical view with your torpedoes selected, this will show you a red dotted line outlining a sphere around Abject Terror, which is the 4,047m range: If in TRK firemode and hovering over a track, the new line emitting from the target (the current intercept point) can be referenced to check if you are in range. If the end of it is outside of the red dotted line around your ship, then the intercept point is not in range. Mind that this point is calculated off the target's current speed and vector, and the enemy could potentially change it. That being said, if one can get the Ocello cruiser within that kill range, there would be no way to escape the 6 Torpedoes it can launch in a salvo. Heavier ANS capital ships will require multiple volleys but you don't need that much and you will need less after hitting the first salvo.

	It is recommended that you stalk high priority targets with the [[ship:ocello\|Ocello]], either using cover to move into position near choke-points, or lanes of egress. Don't be seen, and try not to be identified until you're in launch range of your [[Starter_Fleet_Guide:Azurite#SGT-315_Letter_Opener\|torpedoes]].

			Letter Openers are your primary offensive tool. Their use is straightforward: lock the target with your [[component:rf44-pinpoint-radar\|'''RF44 'Pinpoint' Radar''']], and make the target regret turning the corner.

			Letter Opener uses the [[munition:cmd\|Command Receiver]]/([[munition:hoj\|Home On Jam]]) guidance package, and this benefits them in two different ways. The first is the more obvious one- <span style="color:#c2ce52;">CMD</span> is a seeker that is difficult to jam, requiring dedicated infrastructure on a reasonably close ship. The second is much less intuitive; a <span style="color:#c2ce52;">CMD</span> seeker with a backup, in this case <span style="color:#429a30;">HOJ</span>, will go in a [[Missile_Defense#What_is_a_%22Straightrunner%22_Missile?\|straight line]] when <span style="color:#c2ce52;">Command</span> is jammed out and that <span style="color:#429a30;">HOJ</span> seeker does not see a target. This means that a <span style="color:#c2ce52;">CMD</span>/(<span style="color:#429a30;">HOJ</span>) torpedo may only be softkilled by a combination of <span style="color:#429a30;">radar jammer decoy</span> and <span style="color:#c2ce52;">comms jamming</span>, or by using <span style="color:#c2ce52;">comms jamming</span> and <span style="color:#429a30;"> offset radar jamming</span>. <span style="color:#429a30;">HOJ</span> in particular is selected for its half-point cost; this puts it in competition for <span style="color:#429a30;">SAH</span> or <span style="color:#b41f32;">WAKE</span>, which have similar benefits and downsides in a similar configuration.

			Letter Opener handles penetration of enemy hardkill via two different ways: the first is deployment in higher mass, accomplished via the salvo size of 6 and the rapid programming time. The second is by their engine configuration and terminal maneuvers, which together give them a very maneuverable cork terminal for defeating kinetic hardkill solutions. About 3.2G of turn rate yields enough maneuverability for cork to work consistently against capital ships, while the slow speed of 175 m/s keeps the torpedo agile.
