Superweapons suck

[Kamikrasy]

Am I the only one that thinks artillery and to a certain extent jets are making this game laughable? I mean artillery totally kills the pleasure and strategy of this game. You work hard to gain some progress, then,,,,BOOOM, your whole squad is shot to ****. Yay,,,great fun.

Yeah yeah yeah,,,,as if it's easy or even doable to destroy the arty. In most games that's a suicide mission at best. And for what reason? It will be repaired 30 seconds later by a crate.

Re: Superweapons suck

arty strikes were cool in the beginning, but now its getting old, need to take it out or limit the amount of strikes u can send in a match.

Re: Superweapons suck

I destroy the arty all the time. by taking out the command post. then camping said command post and destroying it again. I do this anytime the ememy commander is *ucking us up. this stops them cold, and not many if any enemy ever defend their own command post.

Also you can HEAR the damn arty fire. take cover when possible. or if it hits near you run like hell!

I take cover when I hear arty, but it is hard to cap a flag with a jet doing circles bombing it every 10 seconds or so.

Re: Superweapons suck

i too, in my naive opinion believe that the artillery is incredibly annoying. of course, everyone can relate to games where they die constantly everytime they spawn due to artillery and general chaos. however, artillery's effectiveness (and annoyance) is probably not as great in a clan match or in a game where your team is joined up into squads and playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

Yes, I believe you are.

Yes! I hear the arty coming before it falls and tell everyone to run! I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices it.

Re: Superweapons suck

You can hear arty coming, just move around and stay away from big clusters of people in large open areas. I do agree that arty can be annoying at times.

You must be up against some sucky commanders. As Commander I cant recall a time when specs ops has managed to blow up my arty more than once. I can always see em' comin with a quick scan, then I let my faithful old M24 do its work.

On the flipside to your statement the CV OPs usually dont try to blow arty more than once if I take em' out. Unless they like the pain.....

Blow my arty once, shame on you. Blow it twice, shame on me :P

Re: Superweapons suck

arty sucks, but LEAVE the jets alone.

Re: Superweapons suck

and the irony is that while this game is meant to be a squad based teamwork oriented game, you attract the most "arty-attention" if youre playing this way.. Of course one can hide from a strike but defending the vista point on Dragon Valley ca be a pain in the ass when you get artied for the 30th time..
