How to win a war with minimal combat skills

[CMDR pollycough]

2 caveats
You are unopposed.
I have only tried this in low-pop systems.

You are in a war zone and will get fired upon if you stay too long, So ensure you have the best shields, hull, and firepower you can achieve or you will die.

Go to a medium combat zone.
Upon entry, Deploy your weapons and ensure your pips are where you need them.
Proceed forward until you can select targets.
Cycle through and select an opposition ship that is competent and preferably being attacked already.
Get right in close before selecting your preferred faction.
Let rip and ensure the kill.
Get out.
Select the station and go cash in.
Do this 3 times and the next tick will be “Close victory”.

The next day.
Repeat.
The next tick you will get will be “victory”.

actually you need 4 days to win like this. i don't think you have to do this 3 times per tick - shoudn't 1 time work as well?

and if you are unopposed, and your side or the other side spawns black box uss scenarios, you could win the war without being fired upon

actually you need 4 days to win like this: Sorry Cmdr to disagree but I have done this a good 20 times in the last 3 months and it's 2 days.
i don't think you have to do this 3 times per tick - shoudn't 1 time work as well?: I have done this for necessity and not experimentation but I found that only 2 kills actually gave me "close defeat". It only happened once so might have been an abnormality but I thought I would put it out there and my peers could do the science.

 

[goemon]

you need to win a majority of 7 days.
which means you can win 4:0 at 4th tick of active war
or 3:0 at 5th tick of active war
or 2:0 at 6th tick of active war
or 1:0 at 7th tick of active war

draw = you won the same amount of days as your opposition
close victory = you are up by 1 win
victory = you are up by 2 wins
total victory = you are up by 3 wins

You can win a conflict with close victory.

Also why go through all the trouble to kill 1 ship? You can easily complete a med CZ in under 8min. If you turn in the bonds in another system your chosen faction is in war at you can even win 2 unopposed wars. You could do the same with winning a low CZ, just turning in some bounties for your faction, or as Goemon said run a mission (only certain types count). If you lost a day then you had some opposition, it's that simple.

if un-opposed then you can also win each day with just 1 bounty handed in for that faction from a RES
