This is a video of a planet destroying 2 planet destroyers. Not the other way around. I've never seen that happen before.

Video is a bit laggy even though I'm using 2 Radeon 7950's crossfired with 3 gigs each. Recorded using Fraps which says I'm getting 55-60fps. Anyways here's the vid.

2 World Destroyers not enough

(and in your case did) overwhelm the defensive shields and armor of the Planet Destroyers
before they could charge and fire their Death Rays.

(Although you should say that planetary defenses killed the PD's, that planet had a lot of firepower protecting it!)

In Soviet Russia, planet destroys you.

What makes me think this is the case is the fact it starts aligning out after taking the first volley.

In any case, those planetary defenses are not to be trifled with
