The Pub

Everyone loves going our for a drink after a long day getting all dirty and grungy in the field of battle. Here you can kick back, tell some war stories or just talk about whatever you like.

All that aside I have no experience playing in the larger wars. I tend to play the assault maps or just skirmishes. Is there anything I should know before getting in a big war?

I think it is a lot harder than staged.... get prepped for some hard fights. Buy me a drink mate?

Sounds like if the larger wars are so intense we'll need more than "a" drink.

True that.

Alright, lemme crack open what I know, and maybe a drink or two.

So, currently, there are two types of maps: Assault/Defense maps and Skirmish maps. There are functionally no difference between war and staged, besides the resources; war battles rely on whatever your generals can send in on the RTS. In addition, the proficiency of players should go up in war battles (although some clans 'camp' staged to boost their e-penises).

There is nothing more to war battles other than the increased pressure to win (every time you die you are costing your faction money).

That's not so bad. I had a feeling it was more of an open world free for all where any number of 100+ players just ran around blasting people with tanks trying to capture all the bases.

Dear lord the lag on that...

True, but i kinda had my hopes up. Imagine a WWII PlanetSide style game.

Would be..... interesting.

I participated in a war once thinking it'd be the same as matched. I was dead wrong due to all the tanks on the enemy side and just infantry on ours. It was a massacre.

I think that is whats holding me back.. The fact that anti tank is so damned expensive.

Well for anti-tank I use the good old tactic of getting either a motorcycle or jeep and mines. Place a mine near the tank since those guys are deaf and watch even heavy tanks explode in one hit. also mines are 147 a pop or less.

Yeah that's how I tend to do it also. But damn those stickies are fun to use!

Yeah, but if you really had steel balls you'd run right up to a tank and slap some h3 on that bitch.

I don't have them unlocked yet

I suggest nade spamming the shit out of people to get that explosives ribbon. One hitting tank destroyers with an H3 and gold grenadier is a lovely feeling of efficiency.

I thought it took two of them.. but damn all the more reason to get that shit unlocked. See you on the field.
