Obvious Allied Fueldump Tactic Overlooked?

(Sauron|EFG) #21

Now that’s a waste of time (unless you play on a shrub server with /kill disabled, but of course that would be even more wasted time :wink: ).

Shazmax-
I’ve been knifed many times, but I also have kiiled many covops snipers on the Fueldump roof. If I see you first, k43 vs. Mg42, you are toast. I played a typical Fuledump game today, nobody except me fighting at the footbridge, axis keep coming in from behind and panzering our spawn while everyone else is up at the tank bridge getting arty spammed. Stupid! I killed several axis snipers and one fieldop, alone, before they got smart and started arty spamming the footbridge approach. The point is, I alone forced them to direct artillery that way, instead of the tankbridge. As a support player, with only average eye-hand coordination, forcing the opposition to change tactics, and being a real pain in the ass IS my contribution. I know I have helped win a few games by preventing axis engies from rebuilding gates at the right side of the tankfarm, killing fieldops in the upper windows, etc. I see medics and fieldops go out of their way to supply me, so I must be doing something right.

Your contribution would be pointless if they had more than 1 Field Op. Two lvl 3 Field Ops can Arty both bridges without a worry. And the chances of an Axis team with only 1 FO is prettly slim. Fuel Dump is a favourite with Field Op’s and Snipers.

It all depends on the opposition. Total n00blars may see you with your MG and the entire team may run across in a race to kill you, leaving the bridge uncovered. Personally, as Axis on FD I concetrate on one of the bridges. I don’t change between both, and I bet I’m not the only one. So even if you draw some fire away from the bridge, the chances of leaving it open to an Engy prancing up are extremely tiny.

“you must be playing in some pretty n00b servers if you can rack up a boatload of knife kills and can actually survive a decent amount of time before being detected.”

Must be a n00b server - everyone loves a n00b server - hey why don’ t you stop on by AZ_linux 1. Type /connect 66.28.238.21:22002 in console. And don’t turn your back. Cuz I’ll be the one your buddies handing ammo to. You’ll also notice I’ll be brave enough to have your name on my tag - wearing your pants. I don’t snipe much. But I will say that shrub mod, four star covt ops on adrenaline sure makes it easier for me to either knife or satchel you at your position. I play covt ops a lot because I think its one of the hardest positions. As a medic your gun has decent accuracy - my fg42 sux even at four star…and if I go sten…it heats up a lot so you have to really think ahead a lot. Medics, Fops, Panzerfausts, Flamers, Port-Mg’s, and the like are easy. Engineers are hard to play if you don’t have enough support. But to be stealthed in enemy territory - I think that really epitomizes where the funs at.

I liked this - so I’ll repost the pict

Well, that is a funny photo, but next time I see a large brown package in front of me, I may become alarmed and move. I don’t think I’ve ever been satcheled like that. Panzered? Rifle Grenaded? Stabbed? Artied? Mortared? Sniped? More times than I can count. I treat Mg42 as a long range sniping weapon without benefit of scope. It’s a tough weapom to use well. It’s not much good short range, due it’s limited traversre .You are very vulnerable while prone, and it’s useless otherwise. If you camp in a good ambush spot for more than a few kills, you get wasted, so it’s kill, move, kill. It take a lot more skill than panzerfaust, more selective than artillery. My mg does not give a two second warning with pink smoke. Whatever the map. I tty to iflict the most danage

Hehe, I think it’s funny when players complain about camping in Enemy Territory…

“STOP CAMPING STUPID n00b!”

Wasn’t written about ET, but it’s ever-so-appropriate. :slight_smile:

Some more noob stats to drool over - http://etstats.com/player.php?id=144&key=6

(velocity) #38

Hmm, is it possible to extract the # of kills and deaths per game from that site? Like, an average “per game” stat? I saw numbers like 100 kills, 100 deaths but unless you are playing with some messed up settings I don’t see how that’s even possible because you would spend so much time in limbo. (Maybe on that server, the respawn time is 5 seconds or something?)

The most kills I ever saw was on a screenshot of the console by Beaverman. He was pwning the guys on some pub, had about 200 kills, hardly any deaths, and about 50% accuracy with both Thompson and MP40. If I recall correctly he was playing as a medic, so those were pretty much all SMG kills, not artillery or something like that.

(shazmax) #39

There was for a time you could just type !stats and view your current stats. I think they disabled it though from everyone doing it and adding to the taxing on the server - STAT - SPAM. 50 percent accuracy would rock. I’ve had close to 90 kills and 12 deaths a few times…but 200 would tire my hands out. But I suppose if its a noob pub server then it would be pretty easy. Most the people I play with are pretty decent players. As for the comment on the Shrub server bein’ a noob server - I’d have to disagree. Check out the site : http://www.et-strategy.tk/ and click on etpro - vs shrub. I play on both and for a pub server I enjoy shrub, but for clan - matches I prefer etpro.

shazmax,

Try to do all the stuff you are bragging about against some good players and see how well it works. Try the locked box servers and see how many knife and satchel kills you get. I’m anxious to hear how it goes. (Take screenshots)
