Me and Dacapn played on Kai for 20 or so matches non-stop save for the occasional freeze or disconnection.
I used Delta is around 60% of them, and by no means was it easy at ALL to keep Dacapn pressured. Although he avoided the orbitals like the plague, he still maneuvered around and away from them the same way I estimated someone would, OB and all.
By limiting the enemy's movement by little areas of orbital doom, I can estimate just where the opponent is likely to go. Although Delta has no radar, the newly 'restricted' areas of movement allowed for a much easier time keeping track of the target.
When an opponent has an area they're trying to avoid, the temporarily 'limited' areas of movement allow for an easier time moving into a good position to fire the URANUS + PIXIE3 + DRAGON at once.
It's extremely important to keep an eye on the AC's energy though. Take cover or deploy an orbital for some protection and time to refresh the EN Gague a little bit. Gen-busting this AC isn't really that bad, and is actually enouraged if there's cover for it. This is due to the fact that when the generator recharges from busting, it refreshes quicker than normal because it bypasses the red zone, treating it like it's green.
Handy, huh?
The playstyle is indeed similar to 'rounding up the cattle', but the main idea is still to pressure the target directly into the orbital cannon, despite the difficulty.
