Why no love for Shuhia Taiba?

[Kibax]

I leave a server when that horrid, generic map comes on. So boring.

ST is just too damn big. I like to race along the river to the silo closest to the enemy main, set up my SL beacon and then defend. You can get some good fighting this way, although this is not recommended if the titans can move. Otherwise you need to choose to do your fighting at 3 & 4, 2 & 5, or 1, because it takes too damn long to get across the map.

It also takes a long time to play these maps in titan mode, because it is hard to hold more than 3 silos. Overall ST produces long and mostly boring rounds - my least favorite titan map.

i love Shuhia Taiba personally, ive gotten countless headshot pins on that map and there are just tones of good sniping spots. plus the somewhat openess of it allows for some really long distance headshots without them always running behind cover.

its also fun in a gunship although im not the best pilot out there by a long shot.



However walkers and tanks on that map are gunship fodder, hence why i think the popularity is lacking, really its only a sniper/gunship map because although there are plenty of vehicles, they all die straight away turning the armour whores away from the map and there are quite a few armour whores that play 2142.

that and it can be difficult for infantry to get about, especially without transport. if they are not in a jeep/apc they are pretty much dead from snipers/gunship unless they are at the inevitable mele at the middle silo.

I love using armor on this map and have no trouble dealing with air, so I'm not sure I follow Capt Smokey's reasoning.

I alway start Shuhia Taiba as Engie and fly a transport to the silo closest to enemy main. I try to take 2 or 3 silos, then switch to APC or tank and try to hold all silos on one side of the mountain. If we are holding those, I spawn at main and drive armor along the river to the other side of the map to reinforce. Sometimes I'll even bail out of the freshly delivered armor and take an FAV back to the main to get more armor to the front.

Then when shields go down, I switch to Support (Clark+IDS+sentry) to defend or assault the Titan. If there are a lot of Supports when I get there, I come back as Assault/Medic.

I love Shuhia Taiba!

I don't know about this. First of all let me say I never play titan, only conquest, but don't think it would change things. As an unashamed gunship whore, I can say I WISH everyone was gunship fodder. The walkers especially are very dangerous to a gunship, as their aa guns rip right through you. Unless I have someone like Lyramion as gunner, who is a sniper with the tv missile, I stay away from walkers, unless someone else on my team is attacking them, like a tank, then they will be too distracted to switch to 2nd seat and attack me. But if both seats in the walker are taken, oh boy I get the hell out of there. So if tanks and apcs stick together and near a walker, as they should imo, they are not gunship fodder. I wish they were. Tbh I find tanks on Suez are more fodder as the map is not as big and especially if I am EU, the PAC has no walkers. Also, you neglected to mention that those armor whores can easily pack a SAAW to scare away all gunships if they become a menace. I wish kills were as easy as you say in the gunship. I love Shuhia more because of the two uncaps and no threat of losing the flag where they spawn like on Suez.

For those who said they would be all over a 24/7 Shuhia, the server in my sig for Pilots and Armor is 24/7 Suez/Shuhia.

Hey Mech, I'll be in that server one of these days. Just moved and don't have my connection up yet. I'm currently 'borrowing' one of the wifi nets here.

I love Shooey. Verdoom is another fav of mine also.

NEVARRR! :rock:

Nice! Thanks!

Add it to your favorites. It's empty a lot and I'm trying to fill it up. Hopefully more armor whores and gunship lovers will check it out.

Big maps:

Lots of engies, vehiclewhores, and snipers.

Small maps:

Medic,medic,medic,medic,support,medic,medic.

I don't like large maps 'cus I don't like being engie, or being in vehicles, and I played pure sniper until I was a Field Marshal Silver :dead:.

[TheDesert_Fox]

Shuhia is great for transport pilots...

I just love those things and all the gunship pwnage is a fun challenge, and it's sooo big infantry will be very thankful for a lift.

Plus, all the CPs offer a tricky and unique landing zone. Like the middle one gives you the choice of open area on top of building, around back, or in the main road. Then the farthest southeast is very open to land, but you have to be very vigilant for threats.

[Durutti]

I'm hearing mostly love for shuhia, which is surprising seeing as how it is one of the most unpopular maps. Where are all the haters? I want to hear why people DON'T like Shuhia. Is it just groundpounding 24/7 Gib/Cerb/Tunis players who hate it? Or do some armor whores not like it too?

[MrChris_CJ]

Shuhias great because of the battles around the flags tbh, fighting around the central flag leaning towards the 2 others on the side is awesome, even better landing on people in with transports mwhehehe
