Infantry: Support > Medic??

[matasho]

OK OK OK, i admit i'm a combat medic but don't abandon my duties of healing and reviving. However, being a combat medic, i kill a lot, and get killed a lot. one of my hardest victims are good support players at relatively long distance engagements. now i know my aim isn't PERFECT but it ain't bad. 70% of the time though i end up losing to these support players even though i lay down a good first couple shots on them and booom, the moment they shoot, i'm dead. is it me or what?!?! i know the support class has armor but i dont thnk it makes that big of a difference. any ideas?

DO NOT engage in a prone war w/ a support player, you will lose unless you are sniper, or assualt

@ long range support must be prone for accuracy, position yourself where they have to stand up, & reposition to shoot @ you

it's hard to tell when they're far away what class they are =(

I can tell the sound of a PKM anywhere (not sure about the others), & if he is prone, I will jump up out of his line of sight, & make him reposition to get another shot on me

Re: Infantry: Support > Medic??

Thanks SERIALBUTCHER for valuable tips. But what about close quarter, face to face engadements? They usually do instaprone and I jump over then and shoot. Any better tactics?

Keep the support guy moving and on his feet and you shouldn't have any trouble with him. It wouldn't hurt to leave a med pack nearby you can jump on if needed.

Re: Infantry: Support > Medic??

no, no, cantina_fly, I'm talking about situations when you dont have time to throw medpack or possibility to make any fancy avoiding moves. Just ~0.5 sec to decide and act. What it would be? jump? prone? crouch? strafe? anything else?

Re: Infantry: Support > Medic??

Prone and shoot at his face

As a guy that plays support a lot, I due get annoyed when ppl due that, there is really no solution for the support player because all the support guns SUCK when you are standing up

I was 10ft. away from a guy who didn't even know I was there, but I was looking over a short wall, w/ the saw & shot of 50 rounds @ this guy, & he never new I was there, finally got him w/ a 'nade

IT's about nice cover and nice single shot actions

first this single shot and finishing move is burst mode

Re: Infantry: Support > Medic??

well, they are supposed to bring more of a delay to fire when going prone, so it may help stop that instant prone first shot kill thing

Support, and many other classes tend to go straight to prone in a close quarter engagement.

I find the best way to combat this is to side step them - basically circle them, while firing down on them, you should be able to out-circle them and win that battle most of the time. As someone else mentioned, getting into a prone-battle with a support player usually = death.

I hope so.. If they do, Volx will loose his 1st place

Yeah I also prefer staying on my feet for any type of close-quarters fight. Either way, the G36E outdamages every other gun in the game, so if you shoot first, you should win. As for longer range, that insta-prone first shot is a doozy, I wouldn't engage a support player at range. Throw a grenade or gtfo of there.
