NC!! 'NEW' weopon!! Vangaurd as ARTY!!!!!!!!!

[Cauldron Borne]

Okay some people might know about this, but I'm gonna post this to be informative.

Needed supplies for team: 1 vangaurd; 1 'spotter' (Inf. suit);optional support troops.

Okay, the vangaurd is THE longest ballistic weopon in the game, and I THINK the longest ranging weapon, period. the reason is that the farthest a ballistic item can be thrown is when thrown at a 45 degree angle with the earth. standard physics. the Vangaurd is the longest reaching tank. fact.

1. Find a nice hill to perch on that over looks a base.
2. get your spotter down to the semi-stationary targets inside of the base.
3. fire.
4. spoter will inform you as to how far you missed and what should be done to rectify.
5. adjust.
6. repeat step 3
7. spotter will give new target.
8. repeat steps 1-6 until satisfied.

get enough of these squads together and you'll own a base in minutes.

I am not afraid to post this where all TR and VS can see because, frankly i can't find a counter to this unless you zerg the position, and thats what the now fortified support troops are for.

For the NC have fun with this idea. post ur ideas to furthur this here please.

Well uh..that was special, but quite unused. 'Artillery' can be done with any of the vechiles with cannons this inclueds Maurders, Med. Tanks, Lightning, and the Sunderer. It's a good tactic, but quit easily countered. Get a squad of Reavers with a few Liberators and attack the artillery position, good idea though. Also, most people don't stand in the middle of the courtyard while 150mm shells rain ontop of them :)

Vanguard may be the best "artilliary" wep but its not the only one. Lightning, sund, prowler, all have indirect fire. Only tank that dosent have it is the mag, which is both good and bad

I know a way to coutner this. :D


It's pretty damn obvious, too.

Too bad the shell range isnt unlimited. Why do you need a spotter? Just shell the place to death. Whatever you are targeting has to be unmanned cause they would be stupid not to drive or move out of the way.

Cloaker would do the trick, possibly reaver

[Cauldron Borne]

support troops, support troops. solves my problem of cloakers and reavers.

[FearTheAtlas]

Even suppost troops can't counter against a skilled Reaver, or a 400m bombing from a lib...and thanks about the sig :)
