There really is no secret. The EU Pistol is like a minibaur on auto. All you can do is slot down your fire a bit and actually aim the shots.

How close does my gun have to be to your head to actually kill you.

Of course, if you are up close, the mini-baur effect is in your favor ^.^

Oh Oracle O'Lyra,
What are your thoughts on the Recon Ghost?

If you mean "right up your victims virtual bum" by "up close" then yes

"Baur and EU pistol close" as mentioned above

It´s awesome and one of my most favourite unlocks. Too bad it only fools enemies that learned working with the minimap. Also the Ghost seems to be flawed with the cloak and work less well with it than generally accepted. Further tests sadly were never made.

Oh wise master Lyra, when will you join another IHS? or are you finished with IHS's (still mourning the 7th)?

**Kossst** · 01-15-2009, 04:34 PM

Old-wolfe Lyra, I was wondering what you think about the 5v5 gameplay. Like what's the best kits to bring, if 2 flags are enough, if the squad should or should'n be split and if your having any specific tips on that.

Once again, thanks for sharing this with us. Your a godseed for 2142 and for TG community.

This sounds like your mom when she wants you to get married rather sooner than later.

But I still don´t know the answer

Well depends if it´s with or without CO. Back then in comp play there was always a CO spam spotting the hell out of the map.

But I will asume you mean no CO inf only 5v5. The kits in such a small game are totally limited. You use 1 support for an IDS if that unlock is allowed, forget all Recon and Otus toys. Rest is all medic medic medic. You survive by looting the kits of your dead enemies rather than resupplying.

2 flags are enough if it gives you bleed, but many comp teams just kept pushing and pushing. They basically would strangle your possibilities to reform to death even if there was no chance for a capout.

Often the Squad need to be split to take chances. A full 5man Squad is nice but very very predictable in movement. The comp teams usually had a 2 man buddy system which worked quite well.

Komrade Lyra, what kind of 2142 action do you find most enjoyable and why?

I enjoy infantry fights the most. I enjoy walkering greatly but it´s more a david vs goliath fight. Nothing has such a tightly knit teamwork than a good infantry squad on an infantry map.

Rockets, Nades, Revives, Covering bodies, maneuvering, taking cover, more reviving

Fantastic video!!! It's like a modern kraftwerk thing!!!

Wow, that video is hilarious because it is TERRIBLE. Also, it is kind of scary. I am now officially scared of Germans.

**pred011586** · 01-16-2009, 06:24 PM

Out of the 3 support MGs, Bianchi, Shugo, and Ganz. What's the reload time, dmg per shot, shots per second, cooldown time, reload time, time until maximum accuracy while crouching, and maximum/minimum effective range of each?
