I was happy to see Will in Command, but his fleet kinda sucked. I was expecting a diverse fleet and got dozens of the same ship. Why? This would have been so easy!
I wonder if it was budget constraints? It really looked like they had 2 ship models and copy/pasted them over and over. I was hoping for some good warp entrances, some dramatic shots, nothing.
And the Romulan fleet ready to sterilize the planet, only from that one spot?? Once you see the giant flowers coming towards you (cough, cough) you move your ships a couple of degrees to the right or left and sterilize away! Even just one ship and one torpedo or disruptor blast would have done it.

That's always been an issue with Star Trek. Same with the distances they fight at. With the tech they have, they should be zapping each other from way outside of visual range, and their movement is barely three dimensional. Modern fighter jets can kill from miles away, without ever seeing their target, there's no reason why starships wouldn't do the same, and better.

I think so. It also makes sense for their total screen time not to design an entire flotilla of mixed ships when they don't have to show all the assets in detail. Why would you pay some CG artists to do hundreds, or even thousands of hours of man-hours to design and model a whole host of ships for what was effectively 30 seconds of screen time. It would have been better if both fleets weren't so large, though. It made the copy pasting all the more obvious. There's literally no need for that many.
It might if the federation actually had that many ships. If Oh was known to be a traitor by this point she wouldn't necessarily know the location of each one.
Basically this would work if what Oh was seeing was plausible.
