1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

[GreatJustice]

Once again I saw stupidity work out, was on Waterson playing as TR and we were trying to hold the Crown while it was surrounded, around ten magriders on the ridge across from us and what do my faction members do? they grab eight galaxies and ram them into the magriders >.> I'm not even sure they managed to damage any of them, but I can say for sure it actually turned out well. In the time it took the debris o clear so the gunners could see we managed to charge up most of the hill and ended up pushing em back

I guess idiocy actually works sometimes.

Galaxies are surprisingly effective in kamikaze attacks, since IIRC the game only checks to see how big the rammer is to see who explodes first. I recall one Galaxy pilot flew a gang of us deep into TR lines on Amerish when we suddenly came across a very surprised group of Mosquitos and Libs. Without missing a beat, he led them on a merry chase through the mountains, rammed them with his Galaxy, and had basically cleared them out on his own while we secured the point.

I think there was a quote somewhere that went something like this. "Though I pass through the valley of death, I have no fear, for I am driving a house sized mass of fuck you."

That's hilarious.

Although the tanks are not really house-sized.

[kisame12794]

It is still very big, and full of hot firey fuck you.

Pretty much, I suppose.

Except the Magmower, it's too busy fucking it's vanu buddies over to mess with the TR and NC.
Splat.

So, Nev, how do you actually run your platoons? Me and some other B12ers could set one up on Mattherson or Miller.

[Flying Dice]

I love flying A2A so much, especially when I'm chasing or being chased by another good pilot. I had a dogfight with some NC ESF pilot on Mattherson earlier, and we spent probably two or three minutes weaving around the legs and skimming the dome of a Biolab while the NC Maxes tried to shoot me down, and it only ended when he finally nicked a wing on some bit of building and slammed into the side of the lab. About a second later I pancaked into the side of one of the landing platforms.

Let it be known that bridges are fucking dangerous. I've lost two lightnings from merely colliding with the chesthigh walls at the ends. Nudge those deathtraps and kaboom. Poof, the magic Lightning.

I don't think I've even seen another B12er on Matherson besides LeviToon (I think).

Right so after you have started a Squad. That is at least 2 people. A new bar appears. "Invite to Platoon." Just type in the name of a friend that you want to invite to the platoon and they get put into bravo. After that you can put people into Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta. BUT if you take people all out of B,C and D the platoon will shut down...

[Flying Dice]

* Flying Dice sighs.

I swear, I lose fewer fighters to enemy fire than I do to idiot teammates who, with the whole sky to fly in, manage to hit my stationary Scythe. I really wish I was joking, but this afternoon/evening I lost 5 ESFs to teammates colliding with me (one of which was partially my fault, as I cut in during a pursuit of a TR Lib), 1 to friendly AA, and 3 to enemy AA/ESFs. -_-'

[Siquo]

Friendly fire sucks. You *can* hear voice-macro's when dead, though, so make sure to hit v-8 while standing on the body of the teammate you just killed.

Kill me twice without a sorry and I will hunt you down and kill you.


In other news, current OP weapon is the tank mine. Finally I can solo instagib sundies. They cost a fair bit, and only work on vehicles, but the engy can carry three for 300 certs, and that is enough to kill any land-based vehicle. So now I am solo-zerg-managing. I set up sundies in good locations, then start hunting for enemy sundies and leave the primary objectives to the others. This tactic works surprisingly well, as closer spawn == more zerg and currently even good, organised squads cannot hold off zergs for very long.

3 may be a bit overkill, as I find 2 tank mines takes out anything. Their advantage is that they're slightly cheaper than C4 and don't require pulling the trigger (which can be a problem when you're dead) but are less versatile. I'm starting to try out the vehicle grenades and they're unfortunately pretty meh at this point, although further testing is required. Today I had to defend the Amerish AMX Reserve by myself and managed to blow up two magriders with C4 + Grenade + 1 Rocket, so I guess it's decent. MAX units also die rather easily and don't require getting close or tricking them.

I'm not sure what happened to the existing outfit on Matherson but today Duuvian and I started a new one. Just PM GlowcatNC or Duuvian if you want an invite.

[bluejello]

deploy: see enemy plane, aim for it instead of landing, die when I hit it but get a kill or assist.  I like doing this. 

I am not very good, so medic seem to be the best cert-gainer for me right now.

I can fly plains fairly well, until I inevitably run into something...  I almost die in a liberator, only to have it somehow survive and slide down a hill, I then fly it into a tree.

[dragonshardz]

Once I am able to actually play this game, because at the moment I get lagpocalypse at best on all lows, I'm planning to be yet another NC Paratrooper.

Paratroopers - Light Assaults who fly planes and DEATH FROM ABOVE on everything.
