Bottom Feeders & Flanking

[Doom-Squirrel]

During flagging, I've recently noticed an increased number of what I call 'Bottom feeders' or bombers that sit outside of the base, and continually bomb the walls of the base using high-proximity damage bombs such as TacNuke and HE Missile. Though it's not a great detriment, it's become rather annoying as it's basically another form of flanking from another non-flagging freq.

 

Is there some way so that we can prevent flanking, the type in which two of three flagging frequencies take turns killing eachother inorder to take a stab at the defending frequency?

 

 

 

Also, there is Sniping. Basically, an enemy (Usually Levi or Jav) stays away from any danger just by simply fireing a volley of bombs in a direction, and occasionally hitting and killing enemies.

Wow, this has got to be one of the.. nvm.. not even going to say it. Dude, It's called killing. You may call its Sniping but there ain't much difference. "Levi Bombing the wall" blah blah. It's called flanking, get over it. Flanking is 1 reason why flagging exists. Stop posting the most non-important reasons to get rid of whatever you want.

 

I look at this thread and find

 

a) Absolutely no reason whatsoever of why your asking us to prevent flanking. What if it were your team, 2 other teams, the jackpot at 250k, and you became the flankers, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't back off.

 

The bombers that bomb the wall for kills, are just a simple obstacle in your way. That try to leech for easy but hard killls. If you find them that much of a pain in the *** than just go outside and kill them. It's not that hard. Even when your flagging. It only takes 1 out of 5 people to do it.

 

I got a question, what exactly is your point in this thread? To get rid of flanking and people who bomb the walls as an obstacle for you in flagging, repels would be good for that but honestly, if that's your true point of this thread, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be changed. It's a useless complaint that I doubt anyone would bother with, unless everything was being changed. These 2 things are what make flagging harder, gives it a challenge. Use it to your advantage and get more skill from it.

How exactly do I gain skill from enemies bombing a wall adjacent to me?

 

Flagging doesn't have to be any harder than it should, it's imbalances that makes it so difficult.

I'm not complaining, I'm requesting that it be fixed in one way or another

Ok, look,

 

Situtation: A team is defending a base, Your attacking it, while being flanked, and bombed against the walls.

Think about the situation, look at where you and your team are. Think about what you can do, especially with your skills, but when your in the situation you don't have much time. That's why you got to think quickly. If you got someone outside bombing. A team behind you attacking you, and your team is trying to push forward into the base, one of you has to take lead, and get everyone into order. So That your whole team can beat all of them out, and win. I've been in this situation so many times, and I know a lot more others have been. People think your going to be shut down, but you can suprise them if you know how to work with your team. First off, If you got a team attacking from behind, you obviously got a lanc. Keep your lanc in the middle of all 5 of you. Have like 2 people keep pushing (Make sure their really good pushers, with bricks as well). Have 2 other people go backwards, and try to get rid of the team behind. Using bricks as well, that way your lanc is safe in the middle of the 2 bricks. Than you got 1 person left, and 1 bomber, I wouldn't suggest you go outside, incase your team needs you, I'd either suggest that last person helps push forward so that the team can move forwards, and get away from the wall, And once your team is furthur in, Think about it. Now that team behind you moves into your old position, being bombed by the bomber... Meaning if that 1 person move from front to back, and helps get rid of the team from behind, which is more likely because that flanking team behind is being bombed. Than you can get rid of them. Now It's your team, a bomber outside, you guys aren't near a wall, and all you gotta do is push that one team. Demolish them and take over the base.

 

 

If you could do all that. It's called skill. Literally.

That's life, live with it... You do what you need to do to live and get kills in the process.
