Oh...never mind.

Ahh I was unaware there was a AA pickup at Power Station I will have to look for that next time. But not to inflate Dark Viper or Santa's ego but I would like to see someone even put a scratch in their paint with a fixed AA.

And my point on the armor not being up at either AA Nest or Power Plant is that unless the mobile AA can be brought up from the rear bases the air power has free reign on those first flags. You hop in that tank or APC and you are going to have a bomb on your head in seconds spot or no spot.

On the German side however with the crappy targeting system on the Tornado you really only have to worry about the Eurocopter which can be easily countered with the static AA.

On air maps with jets the Ukrainian side with two decent pilots can easily make up for all the ticket bleed from not holding majority flags. The map you are talking about the Ukrainian team barely won even though they did not hold but two flags average the whole map.

Not that my opinion means much, but in POE2 sniper squads are only useful as recon/arty spotters. With the amount of armor on most maps they are mostly a annoyance. That being said on some infantry maps skilled snipers can be effective, although these same players I think would do just as well with a VEPR.

They can ban all sniper kits as far as i am concerned. I used to play a game called halo and i would play on a server that was a complete sniper fest. it was fun but it had nothing to do with teamplay. I never saw a sniper accomplish anythng but manage to make themselves a nusense and annoying everyone doesnt make for a fun game. There are two things you can do with a sniper, one is ignore them as we do or we join them. If everyone became a sniper then what would we have. Some people would probably like that but what would the game turn into, certainly wouldnt want to go up against another clan or whatever you call it in a scrimiage.

I love to hear folks don’t want snipers in their squads. It makes my job, when I use the sniper kit, easier. Please keep running your squads without one.

LOL.. You just keep playing sniper.. You may get a high average of kills, yet your team score is a joke

As soon as you kill someone in the sqaud, you have been outed, you may think you are safe and are "pwning teh n00bs". Last night on Lutsk I was out to knife you as many times as possible, problem was my squad would shoot you before I could flank around, I would "spot" you, tell my squad not "dont kill him, just take cover" and every time I would get less than 20 meters behind you someone would shoot you... grrrr.

So yes those of us in the 5th dont see any good in snipers. Snipers are not a real threat, more of a nuisance. Even the full squad of 33rd/7th snipers dont scare even the n00bish of pubbers

LOL.. A full squad of assault/medics/AT/AP and support, now THAT is a threat.

Indeed. If you like a bunch of different mods, modjive is pretty cool.

Thats it...I'm going back to sniping in the future when I get the chance. Sordavie can join me. We won't be taking flags but thats not a snipers objective.

**Daarken** · 04-14-2007, 06:01 PM

I perfer you Mantis as a sniper, because when sneak around a map acting like Toshiro Mifune with Jilted's Samurai Sword I tend to scream out like a little girl when I hear that sword.

I don’t care about my score or team score. I care about my team winning. My guess is Lucky Shot feels the same way. But if you have the need to keep score last night the 33rd represented themselves very well. I didn’t hear my squad complain.

Did you say that last night on Orel when I took out 5 out of 6 of your squad mates at the church? You shouldn’t bunch up that way. It’s like fish in a barrel. After I was gunned down I bet whom ever shot me was next cause if you shoot me the rest of the 33rd knows where you are and are on the way.

Wow. Sorry I got under your skin. I’ve got a lot of respect for the 5th. We’ve had some good fights but if makes you feel better to single me out come get me.

This thread has taken a wrong turn. 75% of the people who play Sniper on our server has not received the help they need to make themselves better players. There are some very good snipers who "get it" and can play with a team mindset. But there are an awful lot of people that could be excellent teamplayers that aren't able to find their way into a TG squad and realize what's important. We need to help them lose this Kill Death Rate as the only way to measure success and get their minds wrapped around the team score. Let's help these lone wolfers become TG'ers by getting them to cycle through our squads.

Im not making this personal Sumluv.. It just makes me smile to knife snipers, may it be you or Santa. Although I really dont care about my personal score as long as the team wins. I will do what ever it takes for my team to win, including hunting snipers for most of the round.
Sry if you are taking this personal.

@mantis LOL I too will be happy for you to be sniper more often, especially on the other team, then I will know where you are and which side of the map to avoid.
