Supply Crate = Anti-Sniper Weapon

MileHighAko · 06-30-2005, 04:29 PM

Playing commander yesterday, my team was plagued with an enemy sniper, but everyone was occupied with other objectives. So I called in supplies about 20 feet south of the sniper and watched the crate land right on him and crush him.

That was the most rewarding kill I had all evening.

Oh man, another thing to look out for. If it's not Tempu's arty, it's Akos supply crate!

Where's the love for your sniper brothers?

no kidding....i tell you what....we shot and save squads but then get smooshed but supply crates!

That's not the only way to deal out death with supply crates. They are great for luring armor and infantry out in to the open, if you get my drift. >:)

20' south? I'm curioius when you decidied to drop a crate how you decide where to click? Directly over the top of the sniper or always so many feet away in a certain clock direction?? Like is the wind always blowing one way?

**Xeil** · 07-01-2005, 07:58 PM

Just drop the crate south of where you want it to land. You might want to try it a few times so you can see how far the crates goes before it lands.

Yes, I was lying next to one getting patched up and a tank backed into it. Not enough to break it, but enough to smear me under it.

The 20' is just a guess as it is hard to judge actual distances in the commander 3x zoom. From previous experience trying to drop crates onto roof tops for friendly troops or droppying crates as close to UAV trailer as possible to auto-repair, I discovered that the crate seems to land roughly 20' (or so) directly north of the point on the map that I click on. I don' think it has anything to do with wind, but instead is due to how the parachute physics work.

That is the greatest thing I heard today, wish you had battle footage of that. Think you can get the guy again and record it for me, so Cool. I never would have thought of that.
