actually the tactics i thought about is for tank, something like a armored squad, but is quite waste of squad space since it involve 2 or 3 squad to get it work

i think this might be good for map involve 2 or more tank, like kharg island, firestorm and caspian

requirement
-good tank driver x2++
-fully unlocked MBT equipment (until CITV station)
-full squad of engineer/all engineer except one assault or support
-able to equipped with guided shell
-able to equipped with LMG/HMG

let's take caspian border as example, it has 2 tanks in that map right?

if 2 tank stick together with full engineer onboard + CITV spotting it would be very powerful when they move together

if the tank move in train formation, the front tank will need to have thermal optic (prevent landmine) and LMG/HMG for gunner, then HMG/LMG/guided shell for driver

2nd tank need to have CITV station, LMG/HMG for gunner and guided shell for driver

this is the scenario:
when this 2 tank face an enemy tank face to face, the 2 tank break formation, first tank to left with normal speed (without shift), 2nd tank to the opposite direction with flank speed (with shift) until it matches with the first tank, then both side of the enemy tank will be exposed and surrounded by our tank, the tank with CITV station can tag the tank, while the other tank can shot with normal cannon and tank with CITV station can shot with guided shell/normal cannon, if the driver try to get out to repair, he would probably dead by now

after the enemy tank destroyed, one of our tank would have suffer damage and most likely to be disabled, then the 2nd tank will need to park close to the first tank to provide cover fire while the engineer repairing

this is useful in open field against tank without support and inexperienced tank driver

advantage
-good for flanking tank without support
-destroy enemy tank in short time
-laser targeting from CITV station allow engineer with javelin to shot from a distance

disadvantage
-waste of our own tank, 2 tank would be better to provide support to other squad
-if enemy got air support or engineer we might be out-flanked

-----------------------------------

another formation, similar to the settings above

take operation firestorm as example, all the flag area is surrounded by buildings if you notice, we will use 2 tanks to surround the flag area OUTSIDE of the buildings, this way the 2 tank can scan the whole flag area

the 2 tank will move in the same direction, if 1 tank is at the right side of the flag, then other tank will be at the left side of the flag like forming a diameter of a circle, then this 2 tanks will drive in circle until flag captured/area cleared

advantage
-clear flag area (conquest)
-flanking
-secure flag area while other squad capturing
-provide good cover for squad/soldier who capturing flag

disadvantage
-rooftop is the blindspot (operation firestorm)
-not suitable in tight area (caspian border hilltop and forest)
-can be out-flanked by enemy if the other squad does not provide good support
-waste of tanks, 2 tank for 1 job

just 2 ideas just pop out of my head when i try to take a nap

i think it would be better for me to draw out, but i'm bad in drawing and where can i find all the map's blueprint?

thanks

blue - tank 1 path
red - tank 2 path
doted green - gunner and driver firing path

as you can see if both tank circle the area you can cover almost every area

if enemy engineer hiding inside the building, the squad that capture the flag would have killed it, it if come out it will be spotted by the tank, if it try to destroy the tank, another tank will be at the back of the engineer

the problem is the rooftop is a blind spot and need air unit/mortar to take out, another problem would be enemy coming from other direction

never try before, you need teammate that can coordinate well with each other

if got empty server maybe can try

all that are just on the paper, never put it in real action so i dont know how well it perform in bf3

Added on November 19, 2011, 10:12 pmi dont see a point in training if we are not actually doing anything, and a lot of people didnt turn up

This post has been edited by amduser: Nov 19 2011, 10:12 PM

really la, every mute their mumble, no one communicating

why you all join mumble then mute yourself


what's the point of communicating and training!!

you not same team with me how to hear

i keep asking what we want to do in this training session, no one reply......

see la, all mute themselves....

Now...
all you good people
write your name
start from here

1.RealLifeReality
2.JameaPlaysAgain
3.PenzoilGuy
4.XxK_SxX

but i cant use mumble at night when my mom was asleep, house is small, pc in living room, what i say and you say probably will be heard through the whole house

but my mic settings seems to have some problem, when i am using speaker, the mic will capture the speaker sound also, when i use headphone then only the mic capture my voice clearly

This post has been edited by amduser: Nov 20 2011, 12:06 PM

dont like to use headphone when i can enjoy higher quality sound

so many names, later all red color icon beside them again...

that day you be my gunner and i keep crashing, feel guilty and sorry for you already, every time got gunner i sure crash

actually those who on LYN should be at one side VS the public guy, that way we can play against those public guy and those public guy can play in the server too, if emptied the server we will be lack of people thus making the game no fun

but at least this better than playing with only 5v5 in 64 conquest map, if those public guys leaved then new one will come in

Added on November 21, 2011, 10:36 amnot good flying in forest, still very bad in estimate the distance, turning radius and flying height

try to do emergency landing with the heli but dont know why always explode when touch down

This post has been edited by amduser: Nov 21 2011, 10:36 AM

i land it like what i do in bc2 still crash, maybe i press "S" while landing and the impact is too great, but in bc2 the landing is always perfect with some teamkill

maybe that's the difference between wheel based helicopter and those metal rod

you can even hear your teammate knife someone if you are near
