what i had done was to do a scan, and i see a column of reddies heading for a flag..and i hit the arti button so that it is timed to arrive when they do.. met with reasonable success, until some blueys decided to spawn there i'd normally save the UAV for blueys under fire.kilroy0097 wrote:
I must be in 3x zoom mode nearly most of the match when I am Commander. I only zoom out to get my bearing and switch to another side of the map and then go right back into 3x zoom. Constatly spotting enemy for my troops moving in. Hell I think I spot more than I use scan or UAV sometimes.
Though I must say that the most aggrivating thing as commander is to see that nice juicy large number of enemy sitting there taking a flag and you drop artillery only to see that they capture the flag seconds before the artillery lands and they all scatter before the art hits. So damn close.. only a few seconds! Grrr.
lol yeah funny that... i dont look at my map unless somethings called in or i hear that beep for the uav, but even when i do sometimes i still cant find the bad guy wish it told u if they were up or down as well, kurba damm near the wall is pointless spotting i think cause they could be hiding way up the top or way down the bottom the foot man doesnt know...kilroy0097 wrote:
I as a commander have actually waited for that lone guy to actually do something in a base filled with 10 enemy. Just because I want to see why this lone individual can possible think the is going to take this base by himself even though the UAV I have over the base clearly shows he is about to get 10lb of lead shoved up his ass.
It really is amazing sometimes. I just don't get it. And for that matter how many people actually look at their minimap? It seems that no one does. How many times does a commander have to spot a enemy unit that is right behind someone in the bushes hiding or on top of a building and they do nothing except leave in a vehicle or else run off? It really pisses me off sometimes. I usually type in big cap letter for them to take the guy out. Of course they never listen and of course the base is lost unless I specifically save an artillery strike for one lone guy. What a waste.
If u have a wheel mouse, roll foward zoom in; roll backwards zoom out.The_Truth_16 wrote:

I've actually done the sacrificial "Just drop it on me commander" call. Being the lone guy at the point, having the UAV pop up, and then identify 2 full squads with a nice compliment of armor/vehicles/maybe a chopper headed rigth towards your position.....kilroy0097 wrote:

you think thats funny? thats so badRakasan wrote:
You didn't know you could zoom? You must have been one of those commanders who always dropped arty on teammates becuase of not zooming, lol.
I have to agree with that sort of thinking.Kung Jew wrote:

You know that they will capture the flag before enough people can spawn. Just grit yer teeth, call in a personal artillery strike, and then fend off the enemies long enough for the death from above to arrive. Hopefully your single ticket loss will help the commander knock out 5-6 of there tickets. With any luck, the arty will weaken the opposing force enough that they will be destroyed with the subsequent counter attack.

Too bad we can't give the finger that was mentioned in another post. I'd love to see a battle recording of a flag with a sand bunker around it. A lone soldier stands up and looks left and right. Camera pans backwards to reveal 2 tanks, and apc and a squad's worth of guns pointed at him. The soldier just looks for a sec, raises his hand, shoots the bird, and then artillery hell rains down upon the entire cast.Darth_Fleder wrote:
