I admit I haven't played BFG for a few (6 or so) months.
I was a big fan of the Orks, and I can only recall losing once with them.
To put it simply, get up close and personal asap.
This may mean taking hits head on, but then that is where your thickest armour is already.
I would press the big red button, and charge straight for them. For once in range with the Heavy Gunz (the ones that hit twice) there is little that can withstand the pounding.
Try not to split up too much, cause you'll get picked off. And use loads of Assault boats to deal with enemy escorts. These are much better than your escorts and a real pain. But, since assault boats cause a critical on a 2+, they are easy to gte rid of with these.
I dont bother with fighter bomberz, they are poop. Just launch tons of assault boats, and put your opponent on the defensive.
Torpedoes are good, but use them at point blank. Its difficult to reload them, so save them for a certain hit.
Use planets to turn. Ork ships a re a bit lumberous.
Ram is a good tactic. Very painful for both of you, and very funny for both of you. If you can, ram. Its what Orkziez should do.
Boarding actions are another strong point. Your kruizers have 10 hit points, with a warboss on that gives an assault value of 20, plus orks bonus of 1 means even battleships are vulnerable. This is quite difficult to pull off, but if you charge towards them as a mass, one of your cruisers can sometimes get into BtB.
Any more pointers or questions? I'll be very happy to answer. And remember, everyone thinks orks are the weaker fleet. This means there's no pride lost if you lose, and loads gained if you win. Also, Orks are damn fun to use - no matter what the outcome. And that goes for most systems of warhammer.
