Re: Tank whore.

Recently played a game of 64 player karkand, as MEC. Luckily, our entire armour division decided to have a rest at suburbs. Needless to say, every one of our spawns had an apc/tank/prone PKM nicely waiting for us.
What Im trying to say is that I love it when our team has a good ol tank whore. Otherwise game turns out terribly unbalanced.

Exactly. I've said it multiple times, when the competency of teams is unbalanced the game is unbalanced regardless of equipment. With evenly matched teams, none of the raping can occur. I typically just play pub servers and see that all the time (on the giving and receiving end). I'm curious about how the competitive clan-type player feels about game elements being unbalanced. Since I've never participated in those type of competitive matches, I can't speak to their opinion on it. But I'd be love to hear from some of them about the subject.

Yeah....I agree

a good close game with both teams down below 20 tickets each is way better than a anihilation (even if you are on the winning side)

I think i would rather narrowly lose than win by heaps

I wish people would stop "kill-whoring" me lets all just use harsh language! :laugh:

Re: Tank whore.

There really isn't such a thing as raping a capturable spawn. If you're sitting in a tank outside of a capturable spawn supporting your team members who are trying to capture it, that is a fair tactic. If someone spawns while we're in the middle of capturing it are we supposed to sit there and wait for them to be ready to fight? If a tank and squad are on one of your capturable spawns, spawn somewhere else and go kick their arse.

I posted that, in a hope that this topic would stop being bumped lol, I don't really care if any of you say he was doing a good job and im just bitching and crying, at the end of the day it boils down to your own tactics, ok lets set it straight, I don't attack spawns and keep mowing down everybody who spawns on a spawn point, wheather it helps a team or not, stopping the player respawn cycle is pointless, yes it is funny to some, or its good because your racking so many kills, but if you think about it, if you were in that teams posistion, you would have heads rolling. Anyway lost intrest, got my veteran and expert knife badge .

Good for you on the knife badges, I need to get around to picking up my basic one but can't stomach all of the deaths I'll suffer to get it. I have given it a go once or twice on Karkand and gave up because I felt like it was hurting my team. What map did you get them on and what was your technique? Did you do a slink through the weeds on Wake approach? Or did you do a flashbang commando on a city map? Or something else?

I agree with your point about someone sitting back raping a spawn if their team isn't actually trying to capture it. Note that I differentiate between intent to capture. If the intent is to just rack up points, then I feel like it is a cheap tactic. Sucks being on the business end of it. An argument can be made that by raping spawns without intent to capture that you are helping your team by draining tickets. I'd counter with capturing more than half of the spawns will drain tickets faster, so always try to capture them.

There is no point in capturing flags when you don't have the capability to actually defend them in the first place... (cappable) spawn raping with a vehicle is a valid tactic which as you said, steadily drains the other team of tickets. Boohoo you got killed, spawn somewhere else and take the tank down- it's not hard.

Every good commander supports his armour with supply boxes, spots and UAV- what is wrong with the commander doing his job? And what is wrong with the armour doing it's job? Armour is MEANT to have an impact on any game, and priding yourself on getting less kills in a tank is completely stupid and illogical.

Good point. My mistake in saying *always*.

Better point, about the commander. I was on Ghost Town last night and the commander dropped me supply boxes every time I asked for one in support of the tank. It kept me alive for much longer than I would have been otherwise.

I certainly don't take pride in getting less kills in a tank. Never meant to imply differently. To quote Patton - No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

There hasn't been much complaining. Some including me found the infantry part of clanmatches to be a bit boring because it basically was just three classes, spec ops, AT and Assault. It doesn't really matter if one side or one vehicle is unbalanced because you play one round as each team on both maps. Everyone has the same chance to win.

My only public complaint would be the J10's superiority. Otherwise it's pretty balanced game wise.

Re: Tank whore.

thats fine with me...just stay away from my tank :p

what do you think i whore it on, infantry?

Re: Tank whore.

Someone has to be in the tank for your team to win. If the same person gets it or they are smart enough to be an eng. and keep it for the whole game more power to them.

Re: Tank whore.

Can anyone say Artillary. Artillary blows up the supply crates and damages or kills a tank. The artillary attack would distract the tank whore so you and your squad can spawn with AT kit and blow the **** out of him.

Communication is the key. A squad leader should take cover some where to allow his team to spawn on him and not the spawn point.

As a tank lover myself, and a spec ops player, spec ops can take out the tank with 2 c-4 when it is being distracted. :evil:

Not really, I like using the knife its usefull and not something thats just a badge getter, I didn't die alot, my ratio? 24/9, thats 22 knife kills and the other 2 kills were from shooting a few people who were far away from me (btw the G36C, is very effective from a long distance) anyway no idea why this is but if your like aiming to go in a server and get the badge, it doesn't seem to work for me, I was just playing around at first seeing how many knife kills I can get before they kill me ( got 6 knife kills before they killed me), then just let loose.

People have said its really hard to get the expert knife badge, well I say its really hard to get the basic explosives ordinance, no offence but I just don't see the point jumping up and throwing c4 at people then martyring yourself, which people do more then you think. Car bombs are effective, but are kind of time consuming.
