There are 30 tanks surrounding your base. What do you do ?

    1. Build walls around it so everyone has to give up its tank

    2. Find a way to reduce tank spam

    3. Redeploy somewhere else, knowing the map won't let you do so

    4. Browse Higby's twitter to know what's his favorite dish, what movie he saw recently, his current air status, and what will be the content of the next update

    I rarely have a problem redeploying. Suicide hopping isn't hard.

    Farm any infantry stupid enough to stand in front of the spawn shields, redeploy when there's ~15 seconds on the countdown. If the enemy are going to be cheap bastards and spawn camp us with dozens of vehicles, I'm going to be a cheap bastard right back.

    The map isn't supposed to let me redeploy? I think something is possibly broken for me.

    In any case.
    1. Pull out heavy
    2. Auto lock and kill many tanks from the safety of the spawn room
    3. Switch to engineer
    4. Lay down 2 mines
    5. Redeploy
    6. Go to stats page and rub one out to the easy kills.

    Redeploy and start laying Mines on the most route they will most likely take. Easy because of Lattice.
    Can't really do much until they lose their AA, or you bring an equally large tank zerg. Although, the walls on Esamir mean you don't get your *** kicked by tanks, so you can easily win the Infantry battle, and just wait inside the walls.

    Start shooting rockets at them.

    Cry in the corner.

    Your rockets suddenly transform into Certs for the enemy engineers. What do you do ?

    If your solo
    Spawn a frac max with level 5 nanite repair. Step out of spawn and spam tanks as long as possible. Pull back inside let nanites auto repair. Rinse, repeat and redeploy at 15 seconds.

    Or, if your outfit mates are online, spawn at another base, grab all the AV harrassers you can spawn and drive circles around their armor until it goes boom.

    If you're VS, the answer is ZOE. The answer is always ZOE for VS.

    You go to Esamir.
  14. LowTechKiller

    Apparently if you're TR, you just pull out a Striker, hit "go", and watch all 30 tanks evaporate. Reload.
    Then you go out in your PJ's and retake the point.
    ...whiners...

    I'd lone wolf destroy all of them like a boss and then hold my rifle out with one hand, drop it, and walk off into the sunset. Else I'd probably mention the cert farm to my outfit.

    I spawn at the nearest facility as an infil, go up to the highest point near them and set off an orbital strike.

    Hide them in bushes and long grass, hide them on the other side of crests in the terrain, hide them at the end of bridges where they dip down to meet the ground, hide them in bottle necks that would give an off-road route around a base.
    It's easy to hide mines at night, especially when there's high cliffs that throws shadows onto the road.

    Most players have somekind of foliage on, and most players will travel at full speed.

    Or you can do the expensive way, and get two sticks of C4, leave them on the road and then detonate them when a tank rolls over.
