Wake Island and other maps that the other team has big advantage.

Re: Wake Island and other maps that the other team has big advantage.

The problem is this:


Too many morons waiting for a chopper or a plane and getting pwned by the F-15 that bombs them all before it even spawns. Look at the score in that screenshot. 64 player Wake Only Server.

Re: Wake Island and other maps that the other team has big advantage.

wake island i play more than any map, ive had some really intense battles there.

its not really that hard to land on the island, i never have trouble.....and yes unless the USMC controls every point on the map they rapidly loose points. You really need a good commander and everyone needs to work together and be stretegic.

Ive one many a battles on wake island and i love it.

Yes on the map Wake Island the Island supposely Chinese has the advantage, but it depends on how good is the team that defends the island. The only bad thing about the map like Strike at Karkand is that the USMC will always have that free base to where the Chinese and the MEC do not. I feel that all flags should be up for grabs and not these airstrips and carriers to be excluded.

I mainly play wake on internode server and wins for both side is about 50/50. The thing is most don't know how to play the map and just sit on aircarrier and get blasted to hell by arty, choppers and jets. I also see idiots take a chopper that can hold six people and take off before any one gets in.

I see it all the time but you got to remember one thing. If you become a squad leader and get yourself a black hawk, all your squadmates can spwan in the chopper which is cool and if yor a good pilot, you can be up there for a long time.

I've seen people make a squad named BLACK HAWK and make it locked so only friends or clan members can get in. They got 250 points in a couple minutes by capping flag after flag and getting alot of kills with the miniguns. I just wished that more people would try to get on the island first then worry about air power. You need a spawn point on there so you can start fighting and gaining ground. I agree that it is easy to lose and if you play it right, you can easily win. I just hate it when 2/5 or more of your team is waiting there trying to gt in a jet and not helping to win. It gets quite sad sometimes when you sneak up onto some beach then die by a tank and if you had more people there, you could've gotten the flag even if you did die.

And I do agree somewhat to that person who said that all cps whould be up for grabs. I think both sides should have a non cap point or no non cap points at all.

Re: Wake Island and other maps that the other team has big advantage.

Chinese on wake does have the advantage, but the most important thing is people who actually take that advantage,
And unfortunately, or fortunately, not a lot of people do.

Boats: They have white trail visible for half the map, theres no where you can hide
Choppers: J10 can take them down in 10 secs, more or less, theres no way you can "sneak" a chopper in.

The only bet is to rush the chinese airfield, get 2 choppers, 2 F35B, 3 boats, and rush it at once, maybe 2/3 will be dead but you only need a few to capture the airfield, and once its down, the games over.

That depends on USMC has good teamwork and Chinese side full of idiots.
Fortuantely most people playing are idiots, such as drivng a tank to the edge of the island, knowing perfectly the only thing they will ever shoot are boats, while letting chopprs fly psat them to capture flags.
And the idiots that decide to abandon the airfield.

Generally if Im on USMC most of the time I just fly the F35B to Chinese base, grab the J10 and turn it against them, I rarely meet any team good enough to actually defend the base.

Good team for either will outplay the other one. I think its quite balanced.

I'd prefer to be USMC every time on Wake.

Re: Wake Island and other maps that the other team has big advantage.

I've had mixed results on wake. I think it depends on a few things.

1. Player numbers. Lower numbers tend to give USMC the advantage as the chinese find it hard to defend.

2. Pilot skill. Well 1.12 patch didn't improve the AA so a good airmen can win a game.

3. Blowing the bridges. I can't belive more people do this. Especially on large No. servers. As long as the airfield is in Chinese hands the yanks will find it very hard to win.

Re: Wake Island and other maps that the other team has big advantage.

Yeah. The airfield is hard to keep defended though when you just captured it. First, if you haven't taken any other cps, all the pressure is going to on there now and hardly any help. You need to destroy commanders artillery ASAP. I like to at least take 1 cp plus the airfield. Then commence on putting pressure on the cp that is surrounded by you(airfield and another one somewhere close). Take that then get a small squad back on what I call now as artillery Island and proceed to take the closest cp that is not taken(the pressure will be off of the boats so you should be able to get very close very quickly). Once you take that and are able to keep all of your cps, take the last one and the Star Spangled Banner sounds at the end. Actually, even if you do take all of the bases, I find it that sometimes, the enemy is still 30 tickets ahead of you and they win but you get close.

There is no F-15 on wake, only the F-35 and F-18 (aswell as J-10 of course)
