Which Commander Asset? [C4]

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

[Quote]Scan and UAV aswell, take scan first, as its most likely that UAV is already airbourne rather than the scan being recharging.


I do Same, If U hear arty fire you can kind of guess its coming for you so hide,
Then see supplies and blow everything,

Pester him each time (use hes supplies to make hes job suck)

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

blow uav (2 x C4)
blow scan (2 x C4)
damage 1 arty (1 x C4)

go back to supply commander has now dropped on uav, resupply, plant 2 on uav and fully resupply again, blow uav, blow all arty.

:)

Dum idea,
Get the resupply, finish artillery, then fully resupply, place to on UAV, then resupply again and finish.

Everything is dead, and you have 5 c4 left.

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

That's a very good tactic there... But, you say the commander will have no idea where to put the UAV? What about his squads requesting UAV at their position? Plus, the UAV will kill more of your team than the artillery will because it marks you for the enemy squads to attack, not just a few shells hitting stray points around your perimeter.

People rarely request arty or UAV, but even if they do, it's not a big deal. SL's will never know where the largest or most threatening concentration of enemy troops is - he only knows about his immediate, local needs.

I also forgot to mention that loss of the Sat Scan hinders the commander's ability to manually spot, too.

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

I play Spec ops most of the time and Id agree about the Scan/ Radar. Ill normally take this out first. After Ive taken that out Ill plant my remaining c4 on the UAV plus my spare on the Scan then Ill either go to a secluded place and ask for more supplies to refuel or Ill wait till the enemy commander drops supplies to repair his Scan and use those to refill then blow the UAV and Scan again.Then its just a matter moving to the arty where I have normally asked our commander to drop supplies for me in a semi secluded place so I can refill completely to take the arty out. Then its just rinse and repeat. Most of the time though the enemy commander is his own worst enemy because he uses supplies to repair his toys which in turn give me more ammo to take them out again. I think its a much smarter option to send in an engineer or two to repair commander assets that way the enemy spec ops has to rely on either a support person in tow or their own commander to resupply them.

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

I reckon they need 1 more Commander asset so you can prevent the supply drops like a radio or something then the commander is really screwed.

A way to prevent supply drops would be nice.............:)

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

uav and scan because w/o them they dont know where to drop the arty if they cant scan for positions.

i was stackign some c4 on the arty today, and i guess they scanned and saw me, so they fired right ontop of me....so ya, take out the scans first. :|:

that is wrong

dont command much eh? :evil:

you can manually spot wether you have uav or scan or not.

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

Kinda off topic but, I personaly don't think supply crates should fix the Commander Assets. I also disagree with the assets "timing out" and fixing themselves.

Once destroyed, I feel it should be an engineer kit only that has to repair it for it to be used again.

Regarding crates again, I also wish that you were able to change your kit while sitting next to the crates. Might add a whole new dynamic for rapid reaction to the immediate situation on hand.

On Topic now, I blow the SAT Scan and the UAV Trailer first. Wait to see where the enemy commander drops his crate first, cause that's my indication that he uses it or values it more so than the other. Then wreak havok with that asset in particular to be that burr up his arse!

The more you can distract the Commander from the front lines the better it is for your team.

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

Remember not to move when refilling once the UAV is up because as SpecOps you wont show up on it.

What?!? Since when, can anyone acctually back this up? Does it just apply to Spec Ops?

That's a great idea, it could help prevent all those times that you end up with a kit that isn't suitable for the current battle condition. You should submit it in the DICE section of these forums.

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

I always put c4 on the scan AND UAV before blowing.
Then the last one on a cannon that is close to a TOW if possible, then take out the smoking cannon with a few TOW hits.
Sometimes you get lucky and the commander drops his repair crate at the blown-up gun first - and you can use it to refill and blow up the rest of the arty aswell.

Yea I know.

What I mean is that it's a lot harder to find things TO spot without the scan. I figured that interpretation would be pretty obvious to anyone reading my post, but I apparently overestimated.

Commanders are usually too busy using their zoomed-in map to look and giggle at their arty hitting to use it to find you sneaking around their base.
Also, if you like staying alive in their base, you will try to use natural cover as much as possible anyway, which makes you hard to spot without his equipment.

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

All the hard work one goes thru just for the damn commander to manually spot you and supply crate his toys back online


This for just a mere 1 point per toy.

Re: Which Commander Asset? [C4]

Dunno about Spec Ops not showing up on UAV.... but any competent Commander immediately spots over the blown asset, which reveals the Spec Op anyway. If he's not very near, he's at the next closest asset..... duh. Just respot him until he's killed.

Also, Arty is FAR more important than the scan function. It only takes a couple seconds to zoom in on the most likely enemy destinations, and then he can deal death from above.

1. Plant 2 on UAV Trailer.

2. Request supply drop near Arty, and head over there with detonator in hand. Blow the UAV at the first sign of enemy fire, suicide or not. Don't blow your charge before you've done the best job possible.

3. Plant remaining 3 on Arty, (2, and 1) and blow the lot. Resupply at crate, and plant 3 more on the Arty, blowing it immediately, which leaves you 2 for the scanner.

4. If unchallenged, resupply fully, and head to the scanner. Otherwise, toss some C4 around the approach path of the enemy, and prepare to kick ass.

The best way to keep a Commander from spotting is to attack him with a Medic in tow. Kill, revive, kill, revive, ad nauseum. This will push even the most docile person right off the brink. :laugh:
