  • A Noobs' suggestions for MEC Karkand tactics

    Mine field equals ticket bleed for USMC--Spawn at the hotel lay a diaganol line of 5 across the crossroads. This will deny the USMC their armor blitz and the support benefits and allow you armor time to come up and support MEC defense. Do not neglect setting up secondary fields in depth. Both arty and time will reduce your work. (Yep the mines GO AWAY) The downside is that no one wil help you, your score will not be the same (non killng tactical moves are not rewarded) and you team will punish you for running over clearly marked mines. But it will work.

    The Suburbs is where the USMC vacation Most players know you can drive a Hummer or MEC truck through the back way and come out on the nearby road. This area needs to be observed and guarded. The hill "behind" this path is good but vunerable to sniper fire. The houses along the path allow for ambushes and the flexibility to redeploy closer to the Hotel or Suburb Flag. USMC often prefers coming throught the house with the pool or up the stairs from the East.

    Blowing your own bridge is not always bad There will come a time when you are losing. The USMC is closing in on "the island". Blow the bridge. Funnel their armor through the death trap you have created at the ford.

        Most importantly:

        DO NOT DRIVE ANY ARMOR UNLESS YOU ARE AN ENGINEER!!!!!!!!

        Second most important:

        ALL OF YOU ENGINEERS STICK TOGETHER IN ALL THAT ARMOR SO YOU REPAIR EACH OTHER!!!!!!!

        I swear I want to TK when I see medics and support, or assault and spec-ops, also AT driving armor. YOU MORONS!!!

          Medic + engineer (machine gunner) combo works quite well in a tank.
          Glad you feel the need to TK tho, very reassuring!

              Yeah, and as soon as you blow the bridge the tank goes in the water comes up the right ramp and incloses on your island still Lol.. Unless you plant mines..

                Back in my spec ops days my favourite trick was to plant a pack of c4 at the entrance to the city at the hotel. On the road that leads straight to the hotel, there's a tree and a lamppost positioned right next to the road - Ideal for C4. Tanks can't see it, and if they're clever enough to go the other way you can get have c4 on the fence there too.

                    AT is good. Shoot the tank with ur main gun, get out, shoot the tank with AT rocket, get in, shoot the tank with main gun, get out shoot the tank with AT rocker, get in shoot.....

                    Also, the tank dies if it goes into the water...

                      Sure, works great...until the APC rolling with that tank kills you when you hop out and one of us steal your tank. You just screwed your team.

                        Now now, don't be like that. Most of the time your digital man will jump out on the left side of the tank.. so.. turn your right side facing the enemy. You won't be killed so easily.

                          For USMC: when youre in a vehicle pulling out of the gas station, watchout for that tow anti-tank missile launcher on the left, some MEC arty killers might be there. Also the building on the 2nd flag, watch that top of building, snipers and antitanks are likely to be there.

                          For MEC: when going defend the first flag, support is the best way to clear the alley of infantry. Watchout for apcs or armor peeking through the cracks waiting to shoot. Also place c4 or clays on the broken sopt of metan fence in the beggining. 1 more thing, everytime i play Karkand i see an infantry hiding under the crashed APC on fire.

                            MEC Tactics:

                            Commander = stick C4 at suburb so you can blow up squads tryign to get it (i love doing this).

                            Engineer (3) = one needs to stick mines at the place where hummers/APCs can get up to the suburb
                            One sticks mines at the place leading up to th ehotel flag. DO NOT LITTER THEM ACROSS THE ROAD. There is a dark spot near the crashed car that is very hard to see. Also, when you turn left at the first road, set up an ambush with two obvious mines and three hidden in dark spots. This guards the flag and 2 spawn points from vehicles.
                            The third goes to the left side of the street and places mines to cover the other two spawn camping places.

                            Vodnik (at the square) goes to far left alley (noob sniper hideout on the hill there)

                            MEC Armor = kill stuff

                            Snipers (2-3)= stick clays all around the fences and hotel flag; or have a spec ops stick C4 there and blow it when it turns neutral. Then snipe off engineers attempting to disarm mines.

                            Support (2-3)= you know what to do

                            Anti-tank (3-4) = nail armor in case mines don't work. Often, though, tank drivers will sick of being blown up and stop.

                            Everyone else go hide on the factory roof and pick your ass.

                            And NEVER spawn at the hotel after the beginning of the game.

                              Isnt placing the mines openly better for keeping armor in place for an artillerly barrage??

                              Your defense looks like it would work. Not sure I have ever seen a team with enough patience or discipline to carry it out though.:cry: :wall:
