Orbital strike cool down?

[pepe5454]

I have never played as commander and after playing in a match the other night I got very frustrated. I joined a buddy but got put on the opposite team on a server I usually don't visit. Anyways orbital strikes were raining down like mad one would fall just two seconds after another had finished they did not stop until my side was pushed back into the uncap then they completely stopped. I was just curious what the normal cool down time is on strikes. Is it normal for this to happen? A hack? Or maybe my side just had an idiot commander or one that was working with the other team to rain strikes down on his own squads. I left the server shortly after but decided to check what the normal cool down is on orbital strikes.

A hack?

Probably.

[ExTeenageRebel]

Yep, hack. I've had this happen to me several times in the past few weeks.

It's not a 'hack' it's an exploit that the other team was using, and yes it's annoying.

[Iwantcable]

IIRC there's a hack for infinite supplies/arties/etc. as well as an exploit to decrease the cooldown of arties.

[Wizrdwarts]

I've seen screenshots of the choke points in Camp G being blocked with supply drops, it was weird.

[FPS[VT_NERD]]

There's an exploit that any commander can do at any time to accomplish the non stop orbital strikes.

^ which we wont name or talk about

You don't have to name or talk about them, YouTube has everything you need :|:

The commander exploits are really irritating me. They've been happening lots to me recently. Sure a few UAVs going at once can help, sometimes lots of orbitals can help too (unless its you trapped in a barrage of orbitals dropped by your own commander) or unless your own the opposing team. It sucks and I want it to be fixed

Thanks all I suspected it was an exploit of some kind. Funny since it was on a "Christian server" but you can't always police your servers and things slip through. But what is the actual cool down time between strikes and drops so I know when to start suspecting something funny is going on?

it was on a "Christian server"

Funny.

[Mukky]

The cycle up time for :

ORBITAL STRIKE : 50 seconds

UAV : 28 seconds

SAT-TRACK : 20 seconds

SUPPLIES : 45 seconds

EMP STRIKE : 72 seconds

These are fairly close. My backbase, where I was, was being over run, again and again, while I was trying to count.
