Move artillery!

[Wraith_3]

I'm constantly surprised by the "tactics" of some squad leaders in the game. I think most people who've been playing for a while know that if they are in the process of capping a flag or have just taken a flag, if you hear enemy artillery firing, there's a 99% chance it's heading to your position. If you're capping the flag, the smartest thing to do would have your squad leader and a couple others run off while keeping a couple to cap the flag. That way if you are arty'd then you have your squad leader alive with two or three squad members to finish capping. Most people are too worried about losing points that they will all stay there!

Stuff like this makes it almost impossible to have any good strategies in the game. Or do we just have a LOT of stupid people playing? Don't answer that I already know the answer. :laugh:

Having said that I've played with a lot more squad leaders who will hang back to let the squad spawn on them to cap a flag and lose points themselves.

I agree with you...lately though I have been playing on a lot more squads where the leader wont be the hero of the squad, but will either stay back, or keep flying the chopper around so you can spawn back in and go take another flag etc... it is often hard to find, but I have found a few nice servers.

Re: Move artillery!

well if the SL dies, he can always juz leave the squad and rejoin back to spawn on a new SL.

THAT IS IF the whole squad knows what they are doing

Mate, in public servers you dont play tactics. You can be in a squad but you only use them fro a spawn point.

Most people doesnt even watch the "radar-map" screen for the arty marker... When playing as a commander, and putting a arty strike, at a perfectly clear (From team mates) spot... And u start yelling "arty" your erea, some jerks just have to move into the center of it, to get blown up.

It were horrible, back in the days when you actually got -4tks and punised for it.

Go to the bottom, on the left it says Favourite Victim and Worst Enemy. CLick on those two in new windows. Then go at the top "Show all data" and then do the same thing. YOu go through about 15 guys with best victims: 20+ and stuff all in the same clan. They all have there expert badges possible (repair if they have enough, heal, resupply, knife, pistol etc etc)
