LB ownage on ramiel Strategy

[stealth420]

Heres a strategy that worked for me last night on ramiel for a total of 1 hour 35 minute flight time. With 18 kills 0 deaths. Just patroling the desert and taking out enemy vehicles.

This strat only works if your comp has maxed out graphics and view distance. Because ramiel has no fog/blurry vision at long distances. It is possible to identify targets from far away.

Start the round, hop in LB , take off to 300 altitude. Now the city of ramiel is surrounded by a desert. It is easy to identify targets in. In particular enemy cars/jeeps/bikes. It is also easy to see enemy insurgents mining the bridges that lead to US main.

When you are up at 300 altitude and you find a target. You should imdeiatly check the area around target for incoming technicals before you begin your assault dive on target.

Your atack dive on target should be a 90 degree angle. Espicially on technicals because they wont be able to see you. Dive on your target and let your mini guns tear them to shreds. When mission is complete RTB to main for ammo, rinse & repeat.

For an hour and 30 minutes i patroled the desert around the city of ramiel and got 18 kills , which included 6 technicals, 2 bombcars , and 6 insurgents planting mines/ieds on the bridges leading to main.

Personally, I think that's cool, but I'm sure you'll get flamed by others here since it sounds like you're just playing for kills. But still, you're helping out the team, so that's good. I'll have to give this a try.

RTB means return to base... just so you know

This is a good plan. Until a SA-7 gets you for hovering in the same spot for too long.

if the INS team knew any better, they would anticipate for nxt gun run and give you a hearty welcome...

when that happens, usually i try and take the suckers out as they are getting out of their dive.

if a captured saw is around-saw will primarily look for that pesky LB.

Better to help your team then be tom cruise(top gun reference)-the way the game is meant to be played.

SA-7 can never hit LB that is just absurd or pilot is doing something rly seriously wrong!

And what comes to fragging. It really does help ur team on its own way.. In insurgent maps you get intel when you kill enemies.

SA-7's can hit LBs quite easily

Or the SA7 operator is doing something seriously wrong.

I can't believe people are actually criticising an Atk-LB pilot for adopting a strategy to gain as many kills as possible. What's he supposed to do, type in every enemy location he can while flying around?

Or do the smart thing, grab a copilot and use the FLIR to spot every enemy cache. Makes things alot easier since the commanders UAV is so much slower.
