WOW Great Gulf of Oman Tip!!!

[imported_Chubz]

Is the point of this thread to be sarcastic? (I'm talking about the original poster).

If not, how could using the guns on jets to take out enemies be considered a great tip if it's been done countless of times from Battlefield 1942 up until now? It's nothing new.... hell, I used to do it back in the '42 days. It's easy, too, but I don't prefer jets or any type of aircraft for that matter.... they bore me.

That's a lame excuse and you know it. You suck because you lack the skill to take me out without killing me while I am grounded.

I hate noob campers.

So what? This Noob Camper killed you.

[Pilioka]

Well after I am done crying that you just camped my airfield I will usually just go take all the other flags and win the game that way. Either way noob camping is not effective at all. It's a good stat whore method though.

Well, considering how effective strafing enemy aircraft on the ground can be at crippling them, we must therefore conclude that this tactic does not come under the umbrealla of "noob camping". It's not even a stat whore method a lot of the time as often kills will be made when there's no people in the aircraft. The main thing is that the aircraft are not there when the enemy needs to use them. It's up to the team getting creamed to deal with the offending aircraft to allow friendly aircraft off the ground.

That's where *gasp* teamwork comes in!

not really a great tip i see this in use all the time

[Pedro]

yeah i do that sometimes... i mean, if they are just going to stand there waiting for a plane, what am i supposed to do? let them wait? hell no, i bomb their asses... to quote someone real funny, "you cant all be tom cruise and fly a plane, go take over some flags or something"... as long as people are going to camp at their airfield waiting for a plane, i'm going to bomb them...

[piroz]

dam this would make a good game show lol it basicly comes down to who has the better cp and connection rate and the better joystick or whatever .theres nothing like laging in the middle of a fight. see the weapons suck a plane can drop bombs and kill the crap out of you while the ground weapons are like shooting bb guns and the artill is so deadly it does not matter if you hiding in a building or not and where are all the bunkers i guess that will come out in the next version no rain or bad weather at all and with all these weapons going off why arn't there more things that blow up this game had all the hype but it lacks so much no night time is really the biggest dissapointment and whats with the snipers they stand out like a sore thumb its a good game but it could of been alot better yea spawn kill its easy in this game because yo do not have enough weapons to keep people from doing it see ya

I personally like this tactic. My strategy is thus: Fly in from the hotel angle and strafe the stinger, then the planes, making double sure the stinger is taken out. I may or may not drop a bomb at this point. I turn around and take a straight shot at the planes. The mig is my #1 target simply because the Sukhoi can't compete with an F35. Once the planes are neutralized, I strafe those poor guys that are camping the planes. I generally leave the chopper and ground assets alone. I figure it's the nice thing not to rape them too bad

I love sitting in the USS Essex phalanx system n watching the jets come tearing over, dropping bombs on the blokes standing around doing nothing on the carrier deck. then having them spawn and get killed again.

One bloke saw i was in the phalanx tho, starting shooting his bloody at sh!t at me, what am i meant to do but kill him in return!?!?!? and of course i get punished..... sigh, 12 yr olds.

[Coderedpl]

try dalian plant
on the Chineese side

take the plane and go give the carrier a visit

I saw this just this afternoon, it was one of the most unique but very effective strategies ive seen so far. I was MEC on Gulf of Oman and there were a bunch of guys waiting for a plane to spawn. This F-35 flys over and uses the guns to kill us all, then the pilot flips, turns around and does it again, he takes out the spawned planes in 5 seconds. he had like 30 points in 2 minutes.

I do that all the time as well. I just spam machine gun fire near the planes and then bomb them when I get close enough.

I also spam machine gun fire on busy enemy spawns before I get close enough to bomb them. It gets alot of extra kills.

[scibbers]

knifing people waiting for jets is fun. blowing them up with arty is also a good way to get rid of them.

People complain about "spawn camping" but I really do not find a problem with this, I personally hate nothing more than people camping for planes for two reasons: 1. They need to be more well round and help the team with their skills in more areas than with piloting. and 2. You are wasting valuable slots in the so saught after ranked servers, you are being a wall flower and you may not be that great of a asset in the air.

This tactic could give your team a very needed advantage over the US this might give you just enough time to cap the valuable coastal flags that are needed for the MEC team to be victorius in the end.

I agree with you to an extent. Most people in the servers suck a lot in the planes/choppers, simply because they are not easy to fly. They are the ones wasting slots because they cant help the team out, and are preventing the good pilots from flying. I'm not saying that crapy pilots should go to hell. I'm saying that they should practise offline first and get a good feel for it. And im not all talk and no walk. I have offered my piloting skills numerous times and I'm currently helping to forum members learn to fly offline. I extend this service to anyone that asks nicely.


As for this "sweep camping", people have to realize that its more fun actually playing the game its supposed to be played rather than using cheap tactics just so they can increase score. But hey, thats their waste of money.

[DrunkenAviator]

Hey, I see nothing wrong with strafing plane campers with a jet... It's not spawn camping as your jet is constantly moving and is only over their spawn for a second or two... Spawn camping is parking a tank over there and raping everyone.. That's cheap and lame... Usually if I do something like this the plane campers get the hint, grab some armor, and head off to the flags...

[JDUB]

Get some skill. Use a stinger or another aircraft. Don't shoot grounded aircraft.

rofl. Typical aircraft whore fodder.
