Covering planted Bases Tactics - Barby, even more details! Options

[Hellfighter]

How about we explore 'covering planted bases' tactics on Barby. We looked at near everything else. Everyone's input please;
My tactics for covering are as follows;
G1 - I like using the center German pak gun. Germans rushing to defuse never expect to be shot in the back as they go forward. you can get a good toll of wehrmacht infantrya nd tanks before they figure out where they're being mowed down from. There are a few other 'shoot them behind' spots too near the pak gun.
G2 - Every1 likes setting up behind G2. I like to do it with a satchel in hand too... ready to toss it over the bunker into the stairwell if defusers start defusing.
G3 - Set up in a tank in the lane behind G3, ambushing defusers rushing from the center spawn shed and mow them down as they hop over the fence on the slope as they head uphill to G3
R1 - On foot I like setting up in the sandbag/tree corner across the road from R1, with AT weapons and satchels-> nail the tanks / jeeps from behind and shoot infantry in back unseen.
R2 - Set up on foot in trenchworks to the left of R2, nail defusers and tanks in their flank.
R3 - Set up in a tank where rusky center tank spawn is [next to their rear/center AT gun.] Slay ruskys from that spot as they try to enter R3 entrance to defuse

I used to like keeping my 'itinerary' of tricks a secret too, but it's more fun being forced to adopt new creative methods once everyone starts getting smart to cunning tricks by regulars. I learned a few new good ones too from the replies.

Furthermore, now I get a good idea who's directly responsible for my death from nowhere as I rush to defuse!

Here's another trick- but it's more a counter to the AT gun covering G3 plants. If you have time, roll a halftrack or tank in front of the side of the bunker where the shells are dropping over to give cover to yourself or teammates storming into G3 to defuse>>>>>Or........
....simply give the signal to a 'sleeper' teammate designated for one role- come out of concealment in bushes to purse-whack such a plant covering pak-gunner.

My strategy for derence and offence:
G1, defence: stay on pak, and if the ruskies don't lay pak fier on the mid pak, ussualy you can get them all before they enter, and important it is not to keep firing as fast as u can reload, because some smart ruskies wait for shell, and then count, wait for next, and bust indide,, so the fire has to be sporatic, not to keep them pinned, let them come as close as they can, get them when they are jumping over the window....

Offence: ussualy getting in by sami-suacidal jeep ride, plant, and the get out and stay in trenches... depending on my mood, I will stand and try to pick them off as they come, or lay low with sachel, till I hear they near, and staring to defuse, and pop it down the pipe thing.

G2, defnece: either stay by bunker, and use it for cover, or by pak, can use the hole in the ground as cover, and pick 'em off if they comming from rear, and if from forward, man the pak and waste them. bThis is also good idea because if they arty 2, the shells won't be falling close enought and u can still resist and not be pinned.

offence: jeep ride, if that fails go for spawn, never do I try to bring a ruskie tankt to g2, because too often I jump out, they kill me and steal that tank and hide it...

G3, defence: I never defend G3....

offence: suacidal jeep ride, bust in and pray that those germans outside don't know any better than to run trought and not wait for the pak shells to be reloaded, and just bust in, and die from pak fire.

R1, defence: usually stay in the house, and keep firing with the bazooka, or go forwand and man the pak gun, in desparate situations(krauts overran pak, and they in control of the house, and german panzers by the house and any movment gets 3 shells) staying atop the bunker is good, u can pisk off them krauts in hous window, and ussualt the tanks can't get you from that angle, and if they stroming with jeep, throw a sachel down inside, and and die, they rush inside, onlt to die....

offence: jeep ride, or trying to got from midle, so many times whan R3 and R2 r destroyed, people still go on frontal assualt, and often the pak will kill them, why won't somebody tank a tnak,. keep the russians supressed in spawn, and jeep goes from middle, and people rush in.

R2: defence is hard if the germans don't realize that blowing it up not thta beneficial, but staying in bunker atop is good, just kill them as tehy run from the little village, if thnaks there planty of zooka.

offence: I rearly attack R2.

R3, defence: My compouer work so choppy when i look at village from R3, that i simply can't do it...

offence: get in town, either get inside quietly, or if there axis tnaks near, wait for the moment and charge inside!!! Usually I get to die a glorious death at the door of R3... beacsue the kv-1 is never killed as told by everyone, i guess the tankers are trying to be nice to other tnaksrs and let him to get a couple of kills....
