The RAIN OF DEATH

[Harrod200]

T&T Server, Kashan

I'm an Officer, leading a squad with both Havocs. I'm Happily sitting on the hills just East of the bunker complex, using a laser designator to target vehicles and attack orders to call in cannon strikes.

With the helis out of visual range, I sit and quite happily throw down attack order after attack order on the besieged complex at locations where the US troops seem to be congregating. A second later, the heavens open, spewing heavenly droplets of HE upon the entire area until I give the hold fire order. One second I would be observing US infantry running around, the next the area would be plastered with explosions, until nothing was left but bodies and dust. Enjoyably, I tracked every infantryman I saw, wherever they hid and directed the strikes to their hiding positions.

This goes on for a fair while, wave after wave of US troops getting massacred by the RAIN OF DEATH, with occasional missile strikes thrown in for goos measure, until the enemy commander drops a JDAM on my head. Just me, alone, in the mountains, without a single other friendly anywhere nearby.

It was just like calling in Orbital strikes in 2142, only far more accurate, responsive and devastating.

For the first time on the game, I actually felt sorry for the enemy...but only a little. I felt more glad that I was the one directing the attacks, rather than the one on the receiving end.

I was one of those poor us infantrymen. But to be fair, we slaughtered your infantry in response, hence the repeated moves over the open ground.

It was a good round with high casualties on both sides. My personal highlight was a flanking manuver at the start of the round, getting behind outlawz's tank and destroying it. Even if he became the havoc gunner, it was worth it.

And by the way, we thought the JDAM did nothing. So at least we took out something valuable!

A couple of snaps from the battlerecorder;


"What's that sound?"


The sweet, sweet taste of inevitability


Don't run - you'll just die tired

!

This is when there's 15 vs 15 people on Kashan, I couldn't even get an engineer. I need to come up with a better plan when stalling North Village with one tank.

Was fun but we never had enough players on both sides, either everyone on MEC side was infantry, that got killed, then everyone went into tanks and we lost Bunkers.

And the low flying Cobra would be dead if someone bothered to take a Tunguska, when they spawned
Instead I had to keep chasing it all over the desert, until Harrod managed to laze it and a Hellfire shot it down.

Also my pilot said, it was his first time flying in PR. Kinda noticed when he couldn't stabilize the chopper.
We got shot down out of nowhere at our main since Mr. Cobra decided to kill us, when we went rearming, how sporty

EDIT: Harrod can you PM me the BR file?

[Flanker15]

Yes please post BR file I so want to watch! I've only played in a BR game once and it was a boring round.

[Outlawz]

Score when I got shot down.

[[R-DEV]Pride]

I shot down the cobra literally 1 second after it killed you with the tunguska in main.


Looks like i was just too late joining the server :P

The RAIN OF DEATH stopped when i dropped a JDAM on your ass though didn't it! hehe

And you said it was a wasted JDAM... one of the best i've used! Saved us a ton of tickets and general misery from those bloody helis.

I'd go on the website to get it, but the last time I downloaded a Qwai BR from the exact time I played and even had my name in the list (love your BFR manager thingy) it turned out to be a BR of Basrah
