For all you Cobra helo pilots, why do I never see you guys supporting Blackhawks when USMC is trying to land teams on the island? Same could be said for the jet jockeys too. It's one of the things that makes me crazy when playing wake and I just had to get it off my chest.
Because the jets can ass raped by the J10s cause they suck SOOO much and the cobra cant take on 2 J10s, Z10, a bunch of guys in AAs and FAVs and 3 tanks.
Support as in what? human shield?
You can't do much against jets - so that's the pilots job (good luck against the J-10) And as far as the other heli - I for one will go exclusivly for that (I hate enemy attack-helis with a passion)
If by support you mean to take out IGLA and stuff you'r completely right - that should be the Cobra's job!

Good point, but if USMC can land some AT etc.. would increase chance of getting a foot hold early on in the match no?
Of course you don't want to land som AT - you wan't to take the Airfield and deny PLA their J-10's..
And the only way to do that effectivly is to take a jet - create a squad - have people join squad and not spawn, fly the jet non-stop to the airfield, parachute out - open parachute 5 ft above ground, and then 5 guys spawn in and take the flag...
Otherwise you have to do a wide circle in the BH and hope no one sees you (yeah right)

the j10s will go for the tasty BH first. they fly slower
Hm hm hm - the aforementioned US jet heading straight for the airfield + two guys jump into an Essex AA each and before 2 minutes have passed, PLa won't have either airfield or J-10...
Nice idea but how many jet jockeys are willing to do that after they've TKd teammates for the ride?!?Friluftshund wrote:

I do the wide circle in a boat and have squad spawn when I land.
They shouldn't need support. A decent black hawk pilot will be able to get to south base unsupported.

Has nothing to do with the BH-pilot and everything to do with the PLA attack-heli gunner. (or the j-10's buzzing around)
@ masculata: yeah ain't that the truth!
I do. My pilot aims me at the J-10s and I use the TV rockets against them. They get all pissed and stuff, it's funny as heck
Well, that's always fun - but I wouldn't base a tactic on itSpearhead wrote:

If I manage to get the Cobra, I sure as hell won't wanna lose it by doing something dumb.

Somewhere far away into the sea we'll see you on a small island just big enough to fit the chopper, with you guarding it like it was gold
LOL, Like a hen guarding it's chicksFriluftshund wrote:

Most people use the boats rather than risk a blackhawk journey nowadays. Why risk the Cobra for the one, maybe two people in a Blackhawk?
True, but, the blawk can get to south base without getting slaugted though (usuing the land as cover, flying in and out of trees)Friluftshund wrote:

Heres how to win wake as USMC in 6 easy steps
1) Join a server full of jet whores
2) Be squadleader and get the jet
3) Have AA on essex manned, BOTH OF THEM
4) Fly over airfield and bail, have your members spawn on you the instant you hit the ground
5) Cap airfield
6) Profit

Check out this brilliant comment for -k "join the real army, this is just a game nub."
If your gonna give -k, sign your name.... nub, what a dumb ass, lol.

the chinese cant do shit without their airfield i agree w/ that... almost everytime i see usmc players go for cobra and f35, none for blackhawk
Again - nothings screams "me,me,me" as loud as a Black Hawk "in between the trees". Jets might have a harder time, but it's real easy for the attack-chopper because he'll be above you and get a nice, big profile to aim his TVG at...Cold Fussion wrote:

@ masculata: yeah ain't that the truth!
And if you'r up against a TVG you need to be anywhere but in between trees, because the only chance you have is to evade the rocket by doing som fancy moves with the chopper
i try and support the troops rather than the BH, troops that dont have 2 fight tanks and a lot of enemy infantry can do alot of damage
I don't use the BlackHawk much in Wake because, I'm usually in a cobra or jet. But I can still get from the carrier to the airfield and make it with 17 armour bars in check...Just keep doing back flips and barrel rolls or anything vigorous to dodge the J-10's.
But if you're in a BH and you see a WZ-10 with a gunner who can use TV's well...Then I'm stumped.
