Yeah, you have to spawn before your can join a squad, unless its the begining of a round.

thanks, i thought it was really nice of my g/f to let me put her picture up here like that. :)

Re: Base Rape on Wake Island

at the begining of the round you have about a minute window of saftey to get ot the island via boat from small island. after that, the only time to try this is when you actually have a flag.

other than that take a blackhawk and get as close to land as possible no not a cp, LAND! 90% of the time the blackhawk crew dies cuz they got greedy and didnt bail at thier first chance. if they got ****ty jet pilots you can always halo drop from like 600 feet aswell.

taking a jet and bailing is a crappy tactic in my opinion because unless the enemy has a very small amount of players, they will just swarm the flag before anyone on your team spawns there once. not to mention that the f35 could be much better used for air support, you may not be able to down the j10, but at least you can bug it enough to let your team progress with less j10 rape. the same goes for attack heli capping, sitting duck, should be used for combat support.

the key for the usmc is speed and keeping the war a two front war. the basic strategy is to take north village and south base to divide the pla so they cant put you in a bottle neck. from there on out grab the airfield and hold it, after you have the airfield north village and south base become flags that you dont want, so you can maintain an even defence amongst the airfield and to a lesser extent with the beach and north base. for the divide and conqure strategy, boats play a much bigger role.

a strong infantry team can win it without air support, a light infantry team really needs that attack chopper up to take on the mi28.

^^^ exactly what he said....

getting the north and bases gives you the 2/3 tanks on the map, which should be used well... a cr*ppy chopper pilot and gunner, wont take u out with the tv or dumbfire missile, if ure hiding within the trees.. always wat i do... (if on wake)

Re: Base Rape on Wake Island

The only way the US ever wins is with atleast one good squad. I happen to go on the US team a lot and lately have been winning a lot because i have realised that teamwork is the key.

I either join a squad with good teamwork, or make one with good teamwork. The key is the blackhawk, if you have a smart pilot then everything can go right. I tend to fly the heli for the sake of the team and i hardly ever fail unless theres a very experienced aviator around.

- Fly High, 500m +
- Order 2 of your squadmates to get out at the Beach
- Order the rest to exit the Blackhawk at the Airfeild
- Make sure you have one medic and one anti tank in your squad

Capping the beach is pretty easy, hardly anyone goes there as there are no vehicles, some might go there to get on the Anti Air but other than that, it shouldn't be hard.

The Airfeild is obviously the hardest and will take a lot of work. Wiping out the infantry before they get into the armour is the key, if they are in the armour allready, make sure to eliminate that once all the infantry is wiped out. It is best to take care of all heavy vehicles when you have neutralised the flag. This means that no infantry can spawn there and help the enemies out, so it's just you and whatever's left.

wake island is a pretty good heli map but it takes forever for the heli so spawn

bah. you must expect that your enemy has skilled pilots, putting all your eggs in one basket is a bad policy. the way to win wake as usmc is to play a clandestine by the numbers game. if you try to go directly for the beach its really easy to get pinned, same goes for airfield. read my post above to see how to really win wake. im not saying that your way cant work, but i am saying that if it doesnt, your team is ****ed. where as if you go for north and south at the same time, the enemy will have to decide which to attack, or wait at the airfield. basically, what i am saying, is a smart squad leader moving up the north AND south side, is he best way to go. wake is not a map of easy answers for the usmc.
