Dragon Valley - Strategies

[KILLABROOKS]

I got bored of playing mashtuur city, and decided to try a new map that I haven't played much - Dragon Valley. Anyone have any tips or team strategies for this map. Again, I only play 16 player maps

Are you in TWL or something?

Re: Dragon Valley - Strategies

noo.. I just like to play with my friends. We all go on one side and because we play 16 player maps, its usually us vs 8 other people. Its fun, but we aren't nearly as good yet to compete

32 player is hell for the US
64 is pretty good although you can find yourself stranded a long way from the action if a rear flag is capped

Re: Dragon Valley - Strategies

unless you're playing on a non clan pub it's damn near impossible to break out of the main base - a little Chinese teamwork makes for some very frustrating rounds. The blackhawk run up the valley is the only hope and even then you are fodder for the AHs and the mobile AA. Very difficult to win on 32 player indeed - 64 player is much more balanced

Re: Dragon Valley - Strategies

KILLABROOKS, the strategy will change depending on the role you choose to take: will you be infantry? Armor support? Air support?

Re: Dragon Valley - Strategies

In BF2, strategy changes YOU. I guess OT is playing 8v8 conquest so this is how it goes. If you and your buddy are good at choppers then make a decent heli team. Works well in dragon valley. Or if not, AT makes good infantry since dragon valley is all about tanks and choppers. Tactics in BF2 are very easily changed in terms how your enemy acts. So I wouldn't count on certain tactics but more or less tactics which matter at the moment you're playing.

I've been playing 16-24 max player on a large map. It brings up some strategy in that with so few people if you whore the airplanes, you will lose. So I work to get half the flags on our side, then fly a bit until we lose some flags, then back to ground pounding. It's back and forth like that and its good because your not constantly being bombed and if you are then you should win by capping all the flags.

For Tips, if your USMC, make a run on the enemy airport and try to cap it. If your PLA try to take the docks and blow the commanders assets when you do. Great sniper spots abound for both sides if you like the slower pace of sniping. Good map to be a chopper pilot, but there are stingers everywhere and two mobile AA guns to keep the sky clean.

If your trying to pilot, its a cake walk if you get the J10. If your looking for a challenge try the F35 and see how long you can live against 2 J10's. Thats where I started my "bail when locked" strategy. Cause if a J10 gets a lock on you, you might as well jump and HALO down to cap a flag if you can. When in the 35, always know where the nearest enemy OP is and try to be close so you can bail and cap it.
