Last night was rough. We played Solar Farm twice and won one and lost the other. Ironically, the map we won the enemy actually captured the tower first while destroying us hands down.

Loadout:

Lucan: AV kit/Air Support
Me: Spec Ops/Ground Support and EMP tech
We were WC.

Truthfully, the both rounds sucked. During the 2nd round we had 4 guys waiting near the airstrip for the planes. How do I know this? I went back to fly one and had 4 people start shooting me "claiming" the planes for themselves. Friendly Fire was turned on. *sigh* So needless to say we were at a disadvantage by at least 2, but I'm gonna say it was more like 4 because the pilots would take off and crash about 10 seconds later. Rinse and Repeat. Both of the rounds were very intense, with me and Lucan getting TK'd for choppers and just for fun.

Enough with the complaining.

What worked well for the enemy:

Using the Telker (AA for RSA) as an anti vehicle weapon- There is a small slope on the RSA side right at the water tower. The enemy actually parked on that slope to enabe him to shoot at the ground in front of him. He absoutly murdered us as we came screaming in with a full jeep. We all died. He smiled with joy.

Waiting to attack until a combined arms attack could be launched- When we did finally capture the CP, the enemy always seemed to attack with 2 choppers at the same time with at least 2 ground troops. We usually managed to shoot down 1 chopper, and sometimes the 2nd, but the ground guys were sneak-e. Mostly, they would attack through the solar panels so that their attack would be covered. When they got there, they would try to stay hidden if their air support was down, waiting for their full 2 chopper compliment came in to support again.

Not much worked for us that round. I kept them off the CP decently well, and at times I switched over to assult so I could toob the enemy at the CP instead of using C4. We kept that CP most of the match, but with most of our team being negative in the K ratio (about 80%) we lost the match.

The 2nd match went much better. Besides the afore mentioned jeep slaughter, we held the CP fairly well.


What didn't work for the enemy that round:

They were attacking 75% of the time with infantry only- That gave Lucan time to easily recharge his Air Strike between vehicle assults. I also started sniping from the support tower attached to the radar dish. Commanding view of the battlefield for airstrikes and sniping. I could see the enemy from the moment they reached the ridge from their base all the way to our base.

***VERY IMPORTANT NOTE***
Do not reload if you have ANY shots left in your sniper rifle. You lose all the rest of the rounds in that clip. It doesn't auto-reload those rounds into another clip, they just disappear.
***END OF VERY IMPORTANT NOTE***
