Down With IO!

Re: Down With IO!

Assault is balanced because it has a limited potential, it cant heal itself, cant fight armor, and only is good vs infantry. Tank can heal itself, can fight all types of armor, and is super good vs anything except for jets/copter. The only thing they have in common is smoke, and even in that tank beats assault totally.

Re: Down With IO!

Havent read the whole thread but my views on IO are that its good it means you dont have to put up with annoyong armour whores also you may say its a frag fest but thats were using tactics comes into it flanking the enemy and that. I am always doing that never frag festing

Lol, look more closely at the o.p.

Tank on armour map.
Assault on infantry map.

It's not a direct comparison of the 2 units, but in their ideal environments. If I play assault on say Mashtuur IO, it's effectively no easier than using armour on say Zatar. That's the point.

Unless you compare yourself to an infantry player on Zatar.

Which is the point you consistantly fail to get.

Re: Down With IO!

You've got to be joking, thats like saying playing the assault kit on infantry maps is whoring.

Look at them stats a little more closely, ooh gosh, I play NON INFANTRY maps too, have you seen them?

And your stats link is strangely absent?

hmm ok.. im sure you are a smart guy im not doubting that, but i didnt feel the need to spice up my profile so YOU could have the convenience to justify my statistics. however, if you must, and i know this is going to tickle your brain unless u can (in your mind) check up on me, simply go to www.bf2stats.nl --> type in "nicej" (as my username suggests) then you will get the satisfaction you require.. don't take it the wrong way buddy it's nothing personal. :)
peace.

^^^what he said.

No, the point is that "armour whoring" as such can only take place on infantry based maps (i.e. Sharqi, Mashtuur, Karkand, Jalalabad).

On full non infantry based maps the threats to armour are numerous and as lethal as the threats faced by say assault class on Mashtuur IO in my example.

Yet the claim by IO supporters is that one is whoring, while the other is "groundpounding".
The point is that I see calling an assault on an infantry map a "whore" as being equally ridiculous to someone calling an armour user on Zatar a "whore".

I'd like to see nicej and Combat-Quokka describe my Zatar Wetlands armour whoring method. How is it done guys?

Cool thanks. Had a squiz, what interests me most is time spent on which map. Usually trying to read a lot into ppl's stats is dodgy business (unless some particular feature sticks out).

I'd like to see your opinion of using armour on maps like Zatar, Kubra, Oman etc. after having played each non infantry map for say another 30 hours each, in a tank and always 64 player full servers. Take the tank from the main each time, the enemy know it gets left idle so you'll deny their spec ops a baserape session by taking that tank.

I guarantee your position on this argument will soften. Many even very experienced players have a one eyed view of armour, especially those that play almost exclusively on infantry maps.
