These are my thoughts, and my thoughts ONLY. I'm not saying these are facts. Just things I notice while playing my small role in the never ending wars. TR. Sundies. TR almost always fail to bring more than a couple sundies. I can't count the number of times we've capped a base, and the whole 96+ army moves on. Ready to assault the next heavily fortified position. We've got 25+ Prowlers, Harrassers zooming all over, Mossies dominating the sky, and a single lone sundy. Of course that sundy is either parked 150m away from anything, or its parked directly under a window/balcony or in some other place which the enemy looks at and says "wow.....so, uh, guys? do we farm it or just nuke it and go attack their base?" Point Awareness. We lose a base. The enemy can only advance towards this one base. Our army has fallen back. So what do we do? Everyone rush to the front. Gotta stop those technofreaks and business suit/cowboy hat terrorists soon as they come in range. Meanwhile, those enemy forces manage to drive a sundy or two up somewhere near our point, load the point up with maxes, and take it. Usually without firing a shot, because our forces are on the other side of the base. Even after the point flips, no more than 40% of the TR will head for the point to retake it. Most simply ignore it until the base falls and they are shot in the back, having never noticed what happened behind them. NC. My Scatmax is a God. Simply put, the awesome power of a shotgun, or raven wielding MAX is invincible and you fools should bow down before me. No I'm not moving away to get repairs, and HELL NO am I ever guarding any engi who does rep me. All should bow before my supreme might. Sundies 2.0. This is why I play NC baby, unlike those silly TR, we bring more than one sundy to a fight. Of course, 9 of the 10 we brought only last about 1 min, but least we brought them. Snipers/shotguns. Every BR2 and up NC thinks he/she is God's gift to the world of sniping. On the flip side, we have shotgun fanatics. "Hey guys, that base is only 547m away, lets go assault it. Everyone ready?" " Yessireebob, i'mma ready sir, I's got my Sweeper or muh Jackhammer." " All right boys, let's roll." VS. Medic. /prox chat......."Medic.....Medic?.....MEDIC?......MEDIC!?!?!?!?......WTF medic, you're right F'ing there.....cmon you stupid noob, F'ing rezz u piece of s**t." Meanwhile 3 NC Scatmaxes are teabagging said players corpse. A few seconds later, a VS rush will clear the path. Go to rezz, player clicks out halfway thru it. Go to next base, BAM. TK. "That's for not rezzing me a$$hole." Sundies 3.0 Sundies? AMS? Rolling Death Wagons? Sure, we got em. Take your pick. See this TR/NC base here? Look, 1-12 defenders in that mofo. But we got it covered, 12 Sundie spawn points for you to choose from. Just be careful, VS sundies draw VS vehicle drivers like crazy. Spawning at a VS sundie means you have a 50/50 chance of being run over in the first 2 seconds after spawning. Swarm. Now all factions do this. But in my experience, nobody does quite as well as the VS. Base about to fall, you're hanging on by the skin of your teeth. Oh crap, they have the point. Push.....Push......dammit....ok fall back a lil, lets regroup........dang, almost back to spawnroom......HOLY WTFMOOCOWPISSBURGERS?!?!?!?!?!....Where did those 75 VS maxes just appear from?.....Woot woot, point retaken....../crickets chirp......wait...where did everyone go?
VS pulls loads of Sunderers to protect themselves from the razor edges of passing Magriders. I dunno why they call their aircraft a Scythe when it's their tanks that cut down lines of friendly infantry like wheat.
