Revolver good. Quite a delay between clicking and it shooting though so you have to have good aim. Without looking at the stats it seems very powerful in the 0-10m range. I got the one bullet 2 kills achivement using it while attacking E on cuchi.

Was playing CuChi last night as a GI and we kicked off the round with a commander who insisted everyone go left around the police station and enter it from the rear -- he swore this tactic would work. We captured A within a minute of the start of the round. It was pretty amazing.

WAR DOGS OF SOCHI posted:Was playing CuChi last night as a GI and we kicked off the round with a commander who insisted everyone go left around the police station and enter it from the rear -- he swore this tactic would work. How long did it take you to capture the rest of the map? Enveloping a position takes quite a bit of time and coordination. I've seen this strategy used, and against a decent opponent they can clamp down on the flanks fairly quickly with good tunnel placement. With ChuChi I find an initial rush straight into A will often lead to its capture, make sure to bring your nades and smoke.

My favorite way to attack A on Cu Chi is to immediately go way around on the right flank. I go toward the elevated road, through the storm drain tunnel under the road that links the two rice paddies together, then circle around and head into the back door of the building on the left. While running around back there, I've had VC players run right past me without even noticing me, since they don't expect a GI to be back there, especially right at the start of a round. This will give you a view toward the rear of the police station, and you can shoot lots of VC reinforcements as they run by.

Also probably one of the big things I don't like about this game is the sound it makes when you get shot in the head. Just because it's so goddamn loud and always scares the poo poo out of me every time it happens. Unless I turn the sound way down, but I hate doing that because this game has great sounds otherwise, and turning the sound up is important to hear enemy footsteps. It's just incredibly annoying.

The commander was a major rear end in a top hat and encouraged teammates to shoot those who didn't immediately follow his instructions to move somewhere. I played as commander for the first time this weekend and it was pretty fun. I'm not very good at the tactics, but I can manage the arty well enough to fill in when no one wants to take the role.

 See that tree my gun is pointing at and the line of rocks it's sitting on, running diagonally from lower left to upper right? I...uh...don't think I'm supposed to be able to get past that barrier to where I am in the screenshot -- the playing area is beyond the line of rocks. Obviously it's a sniper's paradise back there. Is this common knowledge?

They've listed an "Owen SMG" and an "F1 SMG", but it's the same gun, it's called an Owen F1 SMG, lol. e] Nope, I'm a dumbass, the Owen is like it's predecessor or something. Radical 90s Wizard fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Sep 4, 2017 |

The owen is two bits of metal bolted together with a spring or two inside. It was the AK47 of SMGs (despite being older) and was ultra reliable, outperforming basically every other SMG the Allies had. Excellent at jungle warfare (doesn't jam) the Americans ordered like 10,000 of them and was considering replacing the Thompson once it was made in the same caliber. The war ended that though. It only cost $30 in manufacturing and parts. A gang in Australia made a few silenced replicas a decade ago because it was so simple to make and they were super reliable. I mean, the 24 year old creator designed and built it in his shed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Gun drunkill fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Sep 4, 2017 |

using the miniguns on the dakka huey is much easier than on the cobra, the shots go where your reticle points to so as long as the pilot doesn't spin around in circles or keep rolling the thing like mad you can clean up good. This is very important as the pilot only has access to the 2 rocket pods, so his job is to get the copilot and the side gunners where they need to go. Also door gunners get dual m60s for SLR recoil's a bit much compared to other 7.62 nato weapons ie the m14

The Owen looks hilarious and the F1 has Bizarre sights but I couldn't say how effective they are because there was hardly anyone playing. Op forrest looks like a sniper's paradise and it takes forever to get anywhere, Long Tan might be fun running into people in the murk if the rain effects aren't too annoying. Running into bunkers in the middle of the map is a bit weird, the actual battle was pretty much all imporvised positions. Oh, and the brim on the entry level J-hat should be shorter. The short brim ones look good though.

Recoil also seemed lighter thanks to the foregrip. Really the only benefit I see of the F1 is the bayonet

the owens smg is real good. rock solid stability and the iron sites are surprisingly unobtrusive. you'd think the big rear end magazine sticking out the top would ruin your peripheral vision but it doesn't. got 50 kills with it on the non-night time territory map. probably my favorite new gun. e: people doing fake australian accents is much more bearable than people doing fake vietnamese accents.

pnutz posted:I tried doing that with the revolver like what you did with the 1911. I hit my target, but I stood around waiting for the shot to arrive and got killed Late response but lol, I make those shots pretty frequently now. There's always someone in that pillbox and I know how high up to aim, just wait for the muzzle flash aim up and shoot. Plus I always have the 1911 at that point because I'll use the Trench Gun on that map every time, at least for the first set of points and the second point. As for the new gun, as someone who has used the Grease Gun a shitload (pretty sure it's still my second most kill weapon, highest still being Trench Gun), the XM177E1 is actually kind of iffy at close range and long range. It's not very stable on full auto, nothing like the M16, and it feels a little off when plinking at longer range. I honestly still prefer the Grease Gun at close-med range. The extra 10 rounds in the magazine and ability to collapse the stock also helps it a lot in my experience. I also have no clue what the idea behind collapsing the XM177 stock is, you still use the irons and standard ADS and it's just way more unstable. I think they should've just made it use the Grease Gun/Mat49/SawedOff/Stakeout style aiming once you collapse it. Maybe you can get closer to a wall without aiming the weapon down or something? Either way you can get 50m kills with the collapsed stock on the Grease Gun and Mat-49 pretty easily if you know where to put the enemy on your screen to hit, I guess the most useful thing about the XM177 collapsed stock is if you're in close range the jumpy recoil while it's collapsed might help you get a spraying hit on target but I mean the fact you're still just using the irons/standard ADS kind of negates any benefit. Edit: Also I think I like the F1 better than the Owen, feels way more controllable on full auto even though it shoots way slower, and I get way more 50m+ kills with bursting it or single tapping than I do with the Owen even though it's select fire. The sights just look weird as hell on the F1, lol. Dvsilverwing fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Dec 3, 2017 |

I'm fairly sure it also slightly reduces the collision distance too. also f1 sights are much better full auto than tapping, but I've never had much of a problem hosing people down with the owen
