Do you actually use tactics?
11 September, 2011, 21:29
Hi guys,
Just wondering how many of you actually use proper tactics, like staggered formations when marching and leapfrogging when in fire situations and any others you could think of..?
Anyway, just want to know because I would prefer a game like that, sort of like how the military would do it rather than just running and gunning how I've seen it done at some sites and on videos.
So do you guys actually use military tactics or do you just sit tight behind a log and shoot anything that moves?

Re: Do you actually use tactics?
Haha, I've seen some videos and been to a site I went for my birthday last year and it seemed as though people were just running all over the show and firing at whatever they could, it was organised chaos to be honest and I don't think I'd really enjoy it as much as if I'd have used tactics. I think that's what put me off for a while and made me stay away from being a 6mm hunter!

Re: Do you actually use tactics?
Not too often just on regular days, but I have found my enjoyment of a day massively improves if I do something different each time I die. Rather than running up to the building or objective in the exact same way as last time and thinking it would turn out differently

Re: Do you actually use tactics?
To do it to good effect, you'd need loosely designated squads with leaders, or at least run through some drills before hand. It's doable though. Suppress and flank is always a simple one to execute. I have bounded across open ground before with about 12 other players, it's definitely good fun.

Re: Do you actually use tactics?
i do attempt to, normally it fails with complete strangers. but me and a good mate once were able to get a leapfrog and forced between 5-7 people to retreat, so when it works, it works absolutely amazingly, when it doesn't it's an epic fail.

For fear of being reported (yet again) for disagreeing with one of this guy's posts, I would state that I've never seen any form of tactic being used in a skirmish yet.

What
this
user says is quite possibly the closest one may get to some semblance of simulating tactics.
There's a scammer operating openly on this forum. Please be aware of who you're dealing with.

I did the worm as a form of crawling to get a good spot to snipe from... surely that's a tactic?
