A few members have found themselves bored of repeat topics by new people. They are jaded by the games, or just think there is little that hasn't already been said or done. They are taking joy in the art of annoying, derailing, insulting, and generally causing havoc in threads others make in earnest. I've been getting complaints of this type of behavior from the top members all the way to the newbs.

It's going to stop, and if that means a few of you end up getting removed from the site, then that's how it's going to stop.

Another usefull tip :

1- Drop a supply crate in the middle of a place full of ennemies (they will re-supply or health themselves)
2- Artillery's firing!

that always works for me haha

you should also tell ppl that it takes 15 sec from that u fire arty untill it hits the target! so when u place arty put it 15 sec ahead of where u see the enemys are going and you will get more kills

While this is true, the supply crates do heal the assets I would NOT recommend that commanders do this. SpecOps just love for commanders to drop supplies for it allows them to resupply and blow up the rest of your assets.

If your assets are being destroyed by aircraft, then that is another scenario and the crate could be dropped.

My suggestion for supply crate use is to reserve it was any mobile AA assets your team has on the map. Those suckas run out of missiles REAL fast and MOST people using them are not playing as support so they can't reload themselves. The more time the enemy aircraft spends respawning the better you team will fare.

Another less known fact is that a supply crate next to an Essex gun reloads the missiles as you fire them. So instead of 8 missiles, you can fire up to 12-14 before it is empty.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'

If you pace yourself, you will never need to reload that gun.

Another thing to be careful of is that Spec Ops guys will blow up the crate if you land it next to the stuff they're blowing up and then you gotta wait a long time to repair. I usually send a nearby squad to kill the guy if he doesn't leave on his own or if he does leave just let him wreck stuff and then repair it. The order I repair things: UAV Trailer, Artillery, Radar Scan thingy. Or alternatively you could repair the artillery first and then shell the area where the guy is blowing stuff up.

I am not talking about overheating the gun. i am talking about the heat seeking missiles of which you get 8 and it takes FOREVER for them to reload.

Here i was thinking the thread could give me no ideas i didn't already have on my own at some point (not saying that in a arrogant way, just saying), and i read this.

Great idea!

No, he means if you fire the missles a little more slowly, you never have to reload the missles. Its true.
