Qwai

[SFOD_F HaXXeD]

To put my two cents in - Old qwai was fun, this qwai is not fun. Mainly due to the lack of LBs on the US team (do the PR devs hate helicopters now?) and like someone already said - boring APC vs APC where the US APC always has the advantage. Booooringgggg.

its ok now, just new, with new gameplay, new tactics, new ways to gain victory, i personally liked some epic convoys on chinese which i have already seen
only thing i didnt like is when new WZ551A meet striker they can do nothing to each other, maybe introduce some week spots like glasses on BTR-60

Yes Rhino, you can take cover if something like Stryker is shooting at you, but how are supposed to fire then?

i lol'ed, its like how come you can use HMMWV while enemy has tank, surely, you can drive away, but how are you supposed to fire then?

the WZ551A is an APC, and is there for meant to transport infantry, which if you use it for that role its very effective. Your most likley doing what most people do and use it as a light APC.

and what good is firing on the Stryker going to do with a 50cal? just get your APC the feck out of there if it gets into that situation which it should never get itself into in the first place.

BTR-60 ones are bugs, but ye, its meant to be a stalemate pretty much so that APCs are used less as light tanks and used more with infantry and other APCs or other vehicles like they are in real life.

When ever I've played Qwai in .86 I've always had a WZ551 and a WZ551A working together, as they both can protect each other and transport 2x the amount of infantry.

...are you kidding me?

Again, i've had the most exciting and freaky battles on the New QWAI.

Old qwai was BORING. LB's just flying around and shooting me and finding everyone, now you can actually hide in the trees. We were hiding from an APC that kept circling us ...

and we had made a big camp on the Mine area, destroyed like 4 apcs with infantry, and they blew up all our stuff, we needed reinforcements...

^^ so yeah... new qwai RULES

I would have to agree with Lithium. The old Qwai was stupid as there were sound bugs all the time. The LBs were pointless on such a low view distance map.

The new Qwai is epic. Ground battles are a lot more intense. The Chinese rely on their numerous APCs while the US rely on their TOW humvee. I'm seeing a lot of mechanized infantry on this map now though it is odd when the stryker and the Chinese 50 cal. APC meet. Overall, good job, devs on this map.

The only thing that sucks is the crappy AAS flag system on this map.

I can't wait for the new overgrowth on this map.

^_^ Yes. Even though we did pretty good in it.. that APC never saw us. ^_^ though the search team then sent in after us DID. And the fact that my squad didn't listen to me and spread out to far also didn't help. =/

^_^ it was awesome. if we would've won....

TOW is usually one-shot-kill weapon, though not always. Yesterday my WZ551 got TOW into the front armor. Cannon got damaged and all systems beeped but we managed to get back to the base.



Rhino, I know that WZ551A is meant for transporting people, after transporting some guys we started capping a flag, normal HMMWV appeared and killed me in the firefight. The HMMWV was completely fine after my shooting. Stryker is capable of destroying the WZ551A, too bad if you can't defend yourself when one appears.


I have to agree with the LBs. US team used them for transport at the beginning, laer they were useless. Armed LBs were never used for recon. I remember one round when LB pilot killed like 50 people.

repair station doesnt even work , our apc couldnt rearm

where you saw TOW in my post?

it shouldnt, repair station from log truck is supposed to fix your immobility so you can rtb for full repairs

This map is still a lot of fun and always has been, like someone mentioned the static flags, was quite enjoyable perhaps a little more so than now, but the random flag layout's leads to different games everytime, my only gripe is the fact that when the Chinese WZ551A encounters enemies (even while transporting infantry) that the gun overheats so fast, that if he doesn't get a perfect shot first time. on that HAT aiming at him, or whoever it may be, then he is completely screwed.
