Wake Island - US Dominate 100% ?

Well whenever I see a fairly equal number of threads saying one team dominates over the other then I tend to think it's a fairly balanced map.

I think it would be good if there were "parking spaces" for vehicles to stop them from auto-destructing.

At the start of the game the tanks are not that useful to the Chinese so people don't tend to jump in them, but later they are. It would be good if you could bring them all home to the airfield just to prevent them from being nicked by the US.

For the record I've played Wake a few times and won every time as China. As long as there are a few people suppressing the choppers and the Chinese have most of the armour it seems to be easy enough.

I played as commander twice and at the start of the game spot the boats coming in, this is invaluable as it gives your air and ground troops time to get to the flag and defend it before they get there. With a decent bunch of players there is no need for direct commands, a simple spot or UAV and they get the idea.

The US tend to parachute onto/near the tanks I've noticed and once they have them and you don't you are in trouble.

in my experience of wake island i'd say the chinese win 90% of the time. That maps a bit like bridge on Americas Army in that theres nowhere to go and nowhere too hide its full frontal.

Even if your spec op its very difficult too get c4 on any tanks because you cant get close enough.

If the chinese team play properly then they should own the usmc guys every time.

I think it depends on the pilots. If the chinese do a good job with their j-10s and z-10 they'll win. On the other hand if the americans own it up with the cobra and jsfs ..they'll have the edge. If the pilots do their jobs of causing havoc in the air..it seems everything just falls into place.

i was USMC on wake the other day and the chinese jet tore us up. no one in a boat or chopper could make it to the island at all. get about halfway there and get smoked. if you get a really good pilot in the chinese jet the USMC is going to have a tough time getting anything started

the first time I played on wake, there was a massive..well...mass of american soldiers heading to the landing beach by the airfield...several of them ended up splatered on the front of my buggy...it was pretty funny. We won too, they didnt stand a chance

Re: Wake Island - US Dominate 100% ?

I usually always win when I play chinese. And I win more than I lose when playing U.S. I guess the key is just using squads effectively. On chinese I usually start out by having a tank and FAVs camping the tips, so no boats get through, and three machine guns combined(two FAVs and the Tank) can easily bring down a helo. On the US I take an overly elaborate route with a boat, and sneak in and take a tip or middle spawn.
