Wake Strat.

[Virtus2]

I have found that playing wake as USMC can be difficult. My squadleader came up with an idea. You get in a blackhawk and fly about 400-500 meters high. Just out of vision. You go over the airstrip. You tell your squad to parachute down onto the flag. Repeat this until flag is captured. You can also do this to other flags except it doesnt work as well considering how important the airfield is. Also try and land on the roof. I bet it would win the game with two squads doing this over and over.

Re: Wake Strat.

this is a vaiable tactic, and its not new, its been dubbed halo and its a form of airborne assault. the only problem is that if the enemy has good enough j10 pilots to get air supremacy, they will probobly spot you up there. i know when i dont see a blackhawk for a while to go check in the upper altitudes.

the best things for the usmc to do/remember on wake are:

-get on the island, not the carrier. (unless you are doing air defence or waiting for !!!ATTACK!!! aircraft) further more, dont get greedy, get to the island, the first spot of land possible, blackhawks should fly over land with enough altitude to parachute, so you can bail if you need to before you are over a flag.

-its really all up to the infantry and the helicopters to get the job done, because jets are occupied with air combat. for this reason its highly important for infantry to use the AT class, especially to clear the landing area before the boat ride.

-everyone who is alive and on the island, make a squad, that way people always have a place to spawn near the action.

-try to occupy the enemy at either north village or south base, that way another group can get to the other side of the island and take all the flags that are now lightly defended because the enemy is all on the other side.

-dont take a blackhawk or boat if you have north village and south base, no need to insert into territory you already have.

-tanks and trucks are a death trap untill you take the airbase, because of enemy jets, and mi28. so stay away from them for the most part, unless you need to take out something. capture flags with the jeep, the best classes for this are medic and support(saw).

-the goal is to hold the airbase, and the south side. push the enemy back to north village, take out the bridge, and rape. but at all costs dont let the enemy get anything back, especially the airbase, alot of times they try to swim across, also keep in mind you can put even more preasure on them from the arty island, take a boat over and hit um from behind.

And for heaven's sake, if you're infantry and are waiting to spawn on the Essex, PLEASE FIRST CHECK IF THERE IS A LIVE SQUAD LEADER ON THE ISLAND. If there is, join that squad and SPAWN THERE, not back on the carrier or arty island. :)

Re: Wake Strat.

I like to play on PLA on Wake ONLY if my team isn't a bunch of noobs who don't defend the airfield, without the airfield I'm nothing to the team when in a jet.

Re: Wake Strat.

in most situations i bail and recap my airfield and i make a squad, seeing as jets cant live long without an airfield, id rather be alive capping a flag then flying around with no bombs or missiles and low on health.
