What a crock of poo poo.

For the record, it was in the interior of the large building at C on Fao Fortress, the 2 story building at B on Giant's Shadow and at D on Empires Edge. The kill spot thing showed them halfway across the god drat map and I was just in disbelief.

Goonsquad assembled over the course of a match that I ended up on the wrong team, winning by the amazing ratio of 1000-999 against seven of my fellow pskrew.

The game we then merged on we won 1000-540 with a five cap by the end on ballroom. Love it.

Dearest Edward,

It has been quite the jolly campaign warring about hither and thithter and as the iron war machine
trundles along to-wards France our regiment has put up its feet by the Suez and I have found time
to write this letter to you, in my biplane, about 10,000 kilometers in the air. Whilst rummaging
through my rucksack past some thirty odd rifles a serrated sword 5 plungers of strong opiates and
a crossbow [I'll tell you later], I fished out some reels of film from the first two weeks of the
war. It was a garbled mess, a confused evolution of celebration with no end that eventually
transformed throughout the months from simple tribute-to the greatest vehicle/animal I have ever
known-into a bloated twenty minute record of equine victories compiled to persuade a doubting
officer corps. So I cut it as sanely as possible and

(Pls enjoy :cheers:)



and now to sift past twenty gigabytes of wartime service records to finish my thesis to upper brass.
perhaps I shall start with more recent exploits like the time I KILLED A DRAGON BY MYSELF [and wish
the damned recordocamaeraphonogram had been set to 15 minutes instead of 3]

I guess my TV is just too lovely. Like, if I'm in one of the train cars on giant's shadow, I literally cannot see an enemy directly in front of me.

Edit: not like, in the corner, like filling 2/3 of my screen. I can tell he's there cause he's meleeing me to death.

My greatest team-fuckery triumph was spawning on a squad leader sniper who was like a kilometre away from the capture points when we were attacking in Operations. I spawned as support with smoke grenades and followed him around spamming smoke and firing my LMG wildly until someone spotted us and killed him.

I also spammed "request order" because he wasn't doing that, and when it gave me squad leader I booted him.

Our squad ended up doing pretty well with some guidance but we still lost.

I had an arty truck driver who parked himself at the edge of the spawn on giants shadow and did gently caress-all, and we really could have used his help, so smokes and a repair tool got equipped and I chased him around the map smoking him out whenever he parked somewhere useless, and I eventually cajoled him into supporting us at a more forward position so we at least had a hope of holding A and B, repairing him when he took damage. Carrot and stick. I checked the scoreboard at the end of the round and he was a massive 7-0.

Jesus, that's deserving of a private message after the round. Never tank again, lil guy.

Not as bad but last night enemy team was using the arty truck mortar variant. Smh.

As someone who runs the heavy when given the chance, what's the optimal loadout for the arty truck? Not the mortar I'm assuming?

I should really try out tanks other than the artillery truck, I have like 8 service stars for it and almost no kills in all the other tanks. Also are any of the mortar variants any good at all? I stole a dudes mortar landship and it seemed kinda like a waste of time.

Nothing compares to the arty truck. I have 15 service stars with it, and the only other vehicle I have a service star with is one for the landship.

I agree that the arty truck is amazing, but it really sucks at actually capping points and being on the frontlines of a push. I feel like with a good squad something like the heavy breakthrough tank would be better in those situations.

I disagree. I'm regularly on the front lines (or beyond) and usually cap 5-10 flags anytime I get in an arty truck. You just have to be smart about when to retreat. The thing is godly.

yeah knowing when to retreat is valuable for all the tanks. Especially with the arty truck since you can't really turn on a dime and you have less armour than the other tanks. (I think?)

Not lining up for a quick get away if things go south is the biggest mistake people make with the arty truck.

The only other armor worth using is the flanker light tank, and only on Amiens. I average 30+ kills a game with it every time I'm on Amiens. Autocannon shreds infantry and mines on choke points kill enemy heavy tanks and land ships every drat time.

Seriously though, the land ship is so bad. I've tried it with a team of goons in voice chat and it was still inefficient. Even with the little autocannon they recently patched it, it's still poo poo.

Heavy tank is barely better. It's too slow and cumbersome and the main gun reloads too slow.

Always be arty trucking. Find some elevation to shoot down into the point being contested and then once it looks safe you can move in to help with the cap or move forward to start wrecking the next point. Just always be swapping third person view to check for sneaky snakes

Aww, thanks for the repairs today on my heavy tank adventures

I think the vehicles have different usefulness based on different play styles. I am pretty poo poo with the artillery truck, even when I try and play conservatively with it. OTOH, I like the heavy tank and tend to play a bit more aggressively with it. I like the light flanker, but the autocannon is kinda finicky for me and for whatever reason I don't play well with it.

We can all agree that the land ships are loving garbage and a total waste of a spawn.

I don't know but it can make Ops absolutely mind-boggling. Your last objective being taken and you can see 4+ friendlies on the map, standing just outside the capture zone looking in. I think I see that at least once a session.

I managed to get a sniper to kill himself accidentally over the course of a minute by lying in front of his shield plinking at him with the Kolibri. In his frustration, he set himself on fire with the flare gun, gassed himself, set himself on fire again with his second flare then ran away blazing and blundered into barbed wire. For once griefing a sniper gave me so much entertainment I forgot about the annoyance of my pig poo poo team totally and was able to quit the server on a positive note so thank you sniper.

I can't stand the light tank, personally. With the heavy flamethrower variant I go bananas. Last round I played where I got it at the start I ended up 47-1. poo poo is just ridiculous if you have a good group in the tank and you know what you're doing. Having someone with the repair always ready to jump out and repair in the middle of a tank v tank makes you unstoppable. I think I have 3 or 4 service stars with it. It's nuts.
