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

You can also pak G1 from the Russian forward pak on the north road:) One of my favorites

After planting G3...you can grab a tank up by the house near there spawn, back it up beside the house and shoot the germans as they run by.

BTW- I concur with all of Hellfighters.

Pffft. What would you know HF?

G1 - Bang on with your suggestion Hellf. This is my favourite as well. You can of course always hide in the trenches at G1 and easily throw a satchel/grenade into the basement killing the defuser.

G2 - I like standing against the wall of the 'spawn house' facing G2 and shooting people in the back as they run past me on the way to defuse.

G3 - Hide on the slope in front of the German pak gun. From here I can launch smoke, grenades, satchels and ppsh rounds into the entrance of the base.

R1 - I often hide where the gap in the hayfield fence is (at the corner). Can shoot infantry and hit tanks with rockets pretty easily from here. Plus you're in close enough proximity to run up and kill an active defuser.

R2 - Watch from the bottom of the hill to the right of R2 against the last house there. Can run in and kill the defuser quickly from here. Another favourite spot is to man the pak gun at the base of the opposite hill, and kill infantry/tanks from behind as they move up the hill toward R2. Although you must always watch your back, as you're out in the open.

R3 - I've been playing around with the Russian mortar of late, and for some reason I get great joy from killing people using this method! Is perfect for killing those pesky Russians as they try to defuse.

dude i stay in the base if i plant - i always pull a satchel and usually dancing around for a few seconds gives me enough life spawn to keep the base from being defused.



otherwise



R1 - i like to run and hide behind something (not saying what exactly) that gives me enough cover from the rusky tanks - and enough opening to nail 'em all that come from the spawn.



R2 - well since people can run and jump in completely in - staying in the bunker isn't quite such a good idea - but if i do i don't do it where they can jump down pre-shooting and nail me before i can even fire a shot..



R3 - i pretty much always hide in the base for R3 haha. its too important to jump out and risk it going down. i feel better being down there then having to try and run in and defuse.



G1 - i love the trenches or the pak both great ideas Canuck/HF


G2 - i can't give my strategy for this but its good. ---unless they lay arty on the base before coming to defuse...or if i lay arty..



G3 i love going by the pak gun and lying there until they run in then i just nade the piss outta 'em and can even run down and kill 'em with my ruskie pistol after that. shellshock is amazing

Noticed yesterday, when teams were 5 vs 5, that one german planted R3 and stayed inside to defend bomb. Then arrived the only defending ruskie and killed german on stairs on R3 and then started to defuse. Then sneaked next german, ax-Yellowman that was, from that house closest to R3 and killed ruskie, who was consentrating to defuse. That could be one method covering planted base, if you can´t capture any ruskie tanks or you don´t have a axis tank with you. Not sure if this works with large numbers of players on server.

Actually it works very well, and the more, the merrier! We did this in the forest last night while destroying the Russian 3. Several of us Germans hid around the three and one inside. Lots and lots of smoke. As the Rooskies attempted to head into the bunker we mowed them down with small arms fire, grenades and satchels. Took the base, no problems. Even fended off two Russian tanks attempting to cover. GREAT FUN! Anyway, this tactic works great, coordination is the key!

I swear, I was thinking the same thing as I was reading through the posts, lol. I was going to offer my tactics to the highest bidders on E-Bay or something. lol.

Yeah, I feel like I've been ripped off... my generousity has gotten the best of me yet again.

Dont worry my savior, your secret is safe with me.

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....
