So I made a trip out to Kawagoe with wagonofdoom this past Saturday and we cleaned house the entire day. We were both walking off the field with four and five kills each.
We noticed everyone seemed to stay in one spot and not communicate with each other. It was very easy for us to communicate the enemy locations and using bounding overwatch to close the gap and take them out.
My question is, is this usual? I'm not use to the op4 sitting in bunkers shooting. Do the locals here usually take a more laid back approach to the gameplay?
I was expecting a lot more aggression considering more than half of the people there were wearing real multicam gear $$$$
VERY casual. Indoors I have played games where they will sit back and try and snipe you all night.
I don't think I have been to a public game where they have used those kinds of tactics.
But again, I wonder if airsoft isn't more of a dress-up, modern warfare simulation then a place to put tactics top use.
I don't know what "bounding overwatch" is, but then again I have no military experience, so you and Doom probably have an advantage having done military training, which most Japanese have not.
Bounding overwatch is a fancy word for covering the person while they advance, who then covers your advance. "Covering" someone is called overwatch.
This should be interesting then, since people take a "sit and camp" playstyle that gives more tactical players a good chance to get them from an angle they dont expect an attack from. Which is exactly why I got so many kills last time.
pretty usual. That is one of the reason why flanking will work (or supporting an assault if there is no room to manoeuver.)
That is if the shots are called... and if the other players don't outrange you in open ground by 15 meters. Many times, I had to empty my magazine for the shots to be called instead of keeping momentum and moving to the next spot.
We had pretty wild runs with chucklezeclown, and some others that could have been wilder. But yes, coordinated "aggression" will work.
Seals is very good for that.
We DID have a lot of problems with people not calling their hits. Most of the times it's been blatant, we had one guy in a beret take five or six shots to the chest at close range and then return fire.
On the other hand, I also shot a guy from the maximum range of my TM Skorpion with a three or four shot burst and he called it. At that range it must have been hard to feel such a low fps bb, and I'm sure only one made it to him.
