Ugh, 30 minutes of this TFO (PUG). The first 3 battles were challenging, but nothing that would threaten a failure. The real challenge was DPSing through the final boss before the trilithium torps destroy the star.
We got to the boss, and after the boss teleported twice and with it still having 99% HP, I knew this was a lost cause. After a few more teleports, the boss started launching trilithium torps at the star. I tried killing one but to no avail so I focused on the boss. After another teleport or two, the boss (99% HP) had launched all of the torps at the star except one.
Just in the nick of time, I learned how to predict where the boss would go after each teleport. The boss teleports back and forth between point A and B. As a result, I was able to attack the boss right as it teleported in, thus it wouldn't get a chance to launch the torps at the star. We chewed through the shields and the boss started losing HP. After like 10 minutes of back and forth, we got the boss down to 20% HP when it launched the last torpedo at the star, ending the TFO in failure.

Elite TFOs really aren't meant for pugging, but holy crap, nearly 200 mil damage output from your Enterprise - J! Good job figuring out the teleports. It's too bad you didn't have the DPS from your teammates. I'd wager that you got farther than 99% of pugs on that TFO! I enjoyed your recounting of the mission as well.
I'll give this to you...you're never one to back down from a challenge! Nice work!

As Morris said, Elite TFO PUGs is a scenario to be avoided.
On the other hand, kudos to you for the time and effort to try it till the last second.

I'm a glutton for punishment again lol. Did Battle of Korfez again, dying once for not warming up to STO at all. This time we failed the Boss battle much earlier. The A-B-A-B tactic did not work this time as the boss kept shooting tricobalt torps at the star. At least I finished my shield healing endeavor from all that.
Playing this TFO was honestly really fun as a DPS tank, even with non-elite teammates. It challenges you to survive through onslaughts of damage while still slowly taking out foes. I would recommend pugging this TFO whenever yo get bored doing ISE and HSE and have 30 minutes with nothing to do.

Good report. I didn't know people pug it. I haven't played Battle of Korfez for years anymore since the introduction of random TFOs. It would be nice to play it again (and win hopefully).

Having expectations of doing DPS makes for a toxic gaming environment. Sure its nice when everything works out and you get good performance but holding people to an expectation can put a damper on things. Its not a question of wanting to be carried because we don’t know what that persons intentions were when they entered the queue. They might have simply wanted to give the TFO a go or have some extra challenge.
Korfez is extremely challenging even for a coordinated team.

Also for what it’s worth the low dps guys could have been flying epic support build like a heal boat or even a max-drain build and you’d not necessarily see big damage numbers.
It’s probably the hardest mission in the game but because there’s no other difficulties the only way you find out if you can do it is by giving it a go. So there’s more failures than most missions because some players are doing it for the first time at elite level.

Well in a game built around doing dps...in the hardest queue in the game...you kinda need to do better. I've been parsed at over 50k dps and I still feel like my dps is too low to queue for a elite
I mean at 2k dps they can't be really doing much other than auto firing

It's certainly worth trying if you're looking for a challenge in the game. Just don't expect to complete the TFO. The queue can fill up quite quickly as players queuing for normal and advanced accidentally queue for Battle of Korfez, since it's still on the normal and advanced list unless you check "Only Selected Difficulty."

Today in the after action part of Saturday's Special Task Force we decided to run for the Battle of Korfez. To my own suprise it went really well with a full UFP team. Having finished this after a while makes me proud.

My latest Battle of Korfez run, from the DPS-Diamond Channal out of all places. Took my Valiks for a whirl and the ship held together for the whole run. The run went by extremely quickly that I was surprised it was already over, just under 8 minutes!
First round:
All 4 rounds combined (Parse not as reliable due to distance):
