Hi All!!
I was thinking about this the other night and was wondering what people might think. What is the "best" team setup for each map or types of map? By this, I mean, if we all got online, what would be the best squad/team setup for us to deal with each map / type of map?
This will be based around Conquest mostly, as I don't play enough rush to offer ideas. Also, this is purely theoretical. I'm not suggesting we make these die-hard rules for joining squads/teams in a conquest game.
I'll explain what I mean.
I was playing Caspian Border a couple of nights ago before my internet connection died. We were losing and I was wondering why. Turned out, we had no anti-air / anti-tank teams taking out tanks and aircraft. So, I asked my squad to go anti-air/anti-tank. They refused. I joined another squad and no one really wanted to hunt tanks/helis.
So, I got thinking. What is the "best" team for this map. Here is what I came up with and why.
Alpha Squad - Anti-Tank / Anti-Air
- Recon (w/soflam / laser tagger) [Squad Suppression]
- Engineer (w/Javalin) [Squad Explosive]
- Engineer (w/Javalin) [Squad Flak]
- Support (w/C4) [Squad Sprint]
Bravo Squad - Anti-Tank / Anti-Air
- Recon (w/soflam / laser tagger) [Squad Suppression]
- Engineer (w/Javalin) [Squad Explosive]
- Engineer (w/Javalin) [Squad Flak]
- Support (w/C4) / Assault [Squad Sprint]
Charlie Squad - Air Squad
- Pilot (Plane)
- Pilot (Plane)
- Pilot (Helicopter)
- Gunner (Helicopter)
-----------------------------
Charlie Squad - Tank / Planes
- Pilot (Plane) [Squad Sprint]
- Pilot (Plane) [Squad Explosive]
- Driver (Tank) - Engineer (Repair Torch) [Squad Flak]
- Gunner (Tank) - Engineer (Repair Torch) [Squad Suppression]
Delta Squad - Tank / Helicopter
- Pilot (Helicopter) [Squad Sprint]
- Gunner (Helicopter) [Squad Explosive]
- Driver (Tank) - Engineer (Repair Torch) [Squad Flak]
- Gunner (Tank) - Engineer (Repair Torch) [Squad Suppression]
I thought having 2 dedicated squads to anti-air/anti-tank would help control the ground and air. Having a squad which was solely air-combat related, would allow them to communicate effectively between them. Alternatively, splitting the tanks with the planes and helicopter might allow them to better coodinate attacks against enemy armour or easier to request air-support.
I realise you can't force people into doing things like this, but would these teams be effective in their roles do you think? Especially the anti-tank anti-air squads?
It just got me thinking, that was all. Feel free to discuss. Maybe you were in a squad which was particulary effective, and for what reasons. Perhaps this could help us work well together as a clan when we play against others.
