OK!! Who taught the Konreid NC Battle Tactics?!

[BeerJedi]

Last night was brutal. I mean... what meanie taught the NC on Konreid how to fight?

My hat is off to the NC crew on Hossin last night. I don't think I've ever seen a better co-ordinated assault in game ever. I don't know if they were talkin' to each other, or if it just happened, but the NC created an impressive 3 prong attack that gobbled up bases we fough hard to take. In the end, TR managed to regroup and hold three bases, but the damage was done.

1. NC created a very nice picket line along the ridge to the east of Bitol. They had their phoenix launchers nestled in nice little crevices, these people were covered by snipers and MAXs. Several NC MAXs never advanced, but sat on the ridge line almost as artillery.

2. Three attack points. The NC concentrated their footmen to come down three streams, and in full groups.. never any stragglers.

3. Vehicle assault was the most impressive. I counted 4 Vanguards and two Sunderers. But instead of rushing forward, the drivers kept back and let their gunners sweep up infantry. then they'd pull a little bit forward, rinse repeat. Their concentrated fire and careful approach literally shattered the TR defense.

Several times my squad and I would get a sunder and prowler out together, usually a deadly combination, but the NC just sat back and laughed at our feeble attempts to break or flank them. At one point, I had phoenix missiles launching into me as I tried to get a Squad mate in to the gunner slot right off of the VP...

Just a brutal night. The NC did a damn nice job of kickin' our butt. Good Job NC.

Oh man... that was such a fun battle. The NC on Konried did a 180 when we got our first CR5 who just so happens to be a good leader to boot.

Yep. I don't know if the TR was outnumbered, or just blown across several far-apart spawn points, but we got our collective asses handed to us last night.

I did, however, shoot down a LOT of reavers.

Note to pilots: DO NOT fly at 30% speed, directly over a TR-held base. The striker wouldn't be considered overpowered if there weren't so many of these retarded flyboys around.

Well Trencher, give that man a beer, he earned it.

To just give everyone an idea how patient and effecient the NC were last night.

Tr managed to get 5 tanks a sunder out of base and into combat. Normally this would be devastating.

I myself, managed to come in from the south riding along the ridge line. While i ran over everything on the ridge and my gunner pounded behind the lines with the gun. We never made it to the road at the north end. We got hammered by concentrated fire while they ignored the tanks not doing anything. I thought we had them beat, instead, their reinforcements stepped forward and took their places nice and calm like.

There were a lot of NC, but they weren't zerging. ugh.. i hope i don't see that again.

This sounds impressive. I think it is an indication of what is to come, and what will, eventually, make Planetside a classic.

[CosmicBlend]

Sounds like a fun time.

bleh.. ;)

i'm sure the NCs were enjoyin' it. I was on the receiving end. but it was fun.

Wow no offense guys but it really isnt smart to tell people HOW you got your asses handed to you. Then they do it more and you die more.

Uhh....if you say so.

Personally, I'd rather tell everyone, so that more people would have an opportunity to come up with a better counterstrategy.

Do you by chance work in Microsoft's "critical software vulnerabilities" department? That sounds a lot like security by obscurity to me...

My congrats to the NC on Konried. :D

[BeerJedi]

Note to Self: Locate Luci on Konreid and run over repeatedly with prowler :D :D :D

And don't worry, we'll be workin counter-attack strats, just as soon as i find where y'all put my ass.

This is what PS is allllll about! heh heh! I guess there aren't many Cr5's in the world then. How long does it take to get to Cr5?

[Wolf199]

I was on hossin with my outfit and we were getting the crap kicked out of us, so we didi what any sencible spankee would do, we called big brother. Haveing a cr5 man helped out alot, and there were many good commanders out there who took the time to talk to said cr5 war machine. I counted at least 6 commanders who constantly cept contact with eachother. Having the cr5 there held us together, but it took a few good leaders and many good soldiers to win that battle. Hats off to the tr and vanu boyz who cept us fighting for every inch we got, the fighting on both sides was coordinated and fierce. So dont think the NC got away scott free, it was hard as any fight I've seen.

Thanks
