TACTICS IV
FLANK ATTACKS​ (ADVANCED)
SQUAD A ​​
​The Squad leader (or another squad member) from each squad to provide overwatch while remainder of team assaults the target. The overwatch is out of the main area of battle and provides fire support/spotting (Recon/Support role). Therefore the remaining 3 people from Squad A hit the target.
SQUAD B
​​This squad also has someone in overwatch while the other three players assault the same target from a different direction to Team A (Flanking attack). Overwatch act as a spawn point if the remainder of their squad gets wiped out.
​Attacking Caspian Gas Station after leaving Hilltop;
​SQUAD A
Procceds in direct line from bottom of River Ramp to Gas Station
​​​​​​​​​SQUAD B
Departs Russian Ramp and moves along the Northern side of road to the rear of Gas Station. Overwatch deployed on rocks south east of Gas station. Squad leaders co-ordinate to have both teams hit the target at roughly the same time.
​
​Moving from (Kharg) Gas Station towards offices;​
SQUAD A
​Squad members proceed in extended line from gas station to engage advancing enemy (MAV support by recon in place)
SQUAD B
​Squad departs gas station and uses roadway to flank (and get behind) advancing enemy - guided by MAV user / minimap
​
DEFENCE
​
​Squad leaders to co-ordinate general defence on Caspian Hilltop;​
SQUAD A
​To cover Russian Ramp and River ramp
SQUAD B
To cover Checkpoint Ramp and Rear Ramp. Overwatch sniper to North of Russian ramp - deploys MAV
(Squad Leaders ALSO direct their squad members as needed; Player A and B cover Checkpoint Ramp. Player C and D to cover Rear ramp after laying mines with smoke cover etc etc...)
​
Generally these are simple tactics (2 in overwatch while 6 assault the target from two different directions) which should be more productive than just sticking together and attacking in force
​
TACTICS FOR CO-ORDINATING TWO SQUADS
ROLE OF THE SQUAD LEADERS (THE BASICS)
​
1) Ensure that all your squad members are using the right perks (Supression / Squad Cover / Explosives / Sprint), and that they are wearing the same camo uniforms (Urban camo).
​
2) Encourage squad members to play the correct class for the map which supports the squad. (eg 1 x assault with smoke / 1 x support with C4 / 1 x engineer with javlin/mines / 1 x recon with soflam OR 2 x Engineer, 1 assault, 1 supporrt)
​
3) Encourage squad members to always stay togather and move togather as a unit - and always work towards the same objective.
​
4) Continually liase with the other Squad leaders (using Channel Commander) ensuring that everybody is working towards the same objective (whether defending or attacking). Keep all inter-squad comms short and sharp advising of your POSITION and ACTIVITY.
​
5) May need to ensure individual squad members are covering different likely enemy approaches when defending and ensure that mines are deployed etc...
