[List] PR Ambushers Recommendation Thread

[Onil]

A role often forgotten/not appreciated enough or accused of being low on teamwork (lone-wolfing) due to the usual requirement of very small squads to be extra effective. Either with Combat Engineer (or any kit with explosives) or a HAT/LAT and a high level of strategic thinking and map/terrain analysis to choose the most effective location and keep the enemy vehicles away from the fight, their logistics limited and their reinforcements delayed. That's teamwork as in can highly benefit the whole team even if it costs them a few soldiers out of the main fight.

Go ahead and recommend the few players that do a great job or have perfected the art of ambushing enemy vehicles or infantry.

Use the following format

Player name:

Player nationality (optional):

Kit:

Map and side (optional):

Details :

[Onil]

Player name: *=LP=* 1st.Gunnery

Kit: Combat Engineer

Details (optional): One of the best ambushers I've had the pleasure of playing with. Extremely patient and effective on both ambushes and sabotage roles. Also one of the best medics out there. Ex CATA Cougars Squad - PRT C7

------------------------------------------

Player name: SRF Soban

Kit: Combat Engineer / HAT

Details (optional): A master with the HAT and the most crazy ambusher there is. He can be very patient (depending on his mood ) and get two full apc's in a matter of 5 seconds or get tired of waiting and stand on a mine so that the enemy runs over it. Whatever needs to be done, you can count on him. Ex CATA Cougars Squad - PRT C9

------------------------------------------

Player name: LemmyKillMister (hope that is correct)

Kit: Taliban Combat Engineer

Map and side (optional): Kokan - Taliban

Details (optional): Often found on public servers running insurgency. A player dedicated to the role of ambushing when not leading a full squad. He was quite effective on multiple rounds and that caught my attention.

Nice, but uh... how is this any different from a "Player Recommendation"?

Just note their mad pc-skills at ambushing on the "Details"...

[Onil]

Well... why do Pilots deserve a Recommendation thread then? They could be recommended on the "Player Recommendation" as could SL's and CO's. The threads related to specific roles like being a pilot, exist so it is easier to access instead of going through the enormous Player Recommendation thread in search of it.

For me this role deserves its own thread for the simple reason that it is one of the less considered roles on the battlefield. It's not that any of them need any recognition... but it is quite hard finding good players that do prefer such a role. A bit like it is hard finding good pilots on public servers.

So it serves in the same way. The roles defer but the necessity to know who you can trust to do such a specialized job, does exist in both.

Regarding the details, what did you expect? A detailed explanation of how each of them does an ambush? It is impossible to describe such a thing as it will always depend on multiple factors.

The fact that I'm recommending them, means that they are able to do the job effectively, adapting to each map/location and disturbing supply lines and reinforcements without constantly dying and loosing the kit. A good ambusher will stay alive for a long time and succeed in multiple ambushes when properly resupplied.

[Pronck]

Player: LeDudd

Kit: Every kit with explosives

He is a very good ambushers who often takes out a lot of vehicles with his ambushes.

Player: Lemmy Killmister

Kit: Every kit with explosives

He often plays together with LeDudd, these guys are a deadly combination for the BLUFOR.

[Agemman]

Player name: [PR]CATA|0nil

Player nationality (optional): Portuguese

Kit: Probably something that includes a invisibility cloak.

Map and side (optional): Lots.

Details : He is so sneaky he was probably born without his parent's knowledge.

Hey I'm not mad, I just figured it would be nicer to have it all in one thread, because I just figured that there are basically 5 different big roles in PR, read: CO, SL, Armor Personnel, Air Personnel and Infantry (IOW "Players"). As you said, "ambush" is a vis-?-vis other "roles" a minor one.

That's not how this forum is made, just my 2 cents!

[Onil]

So what you're saying is that only what you consider to be "big roles" deserve their own thread?

Infantry is largely connected to the usual roles of assaulting and defending flags. The few roles that aren't directly related to that, are usually badly seen by the community. So yeah, the separation between normal infantry squads and snipers/recon/ambushers and sometimes even mortars squads already exists and I don't see any harm in having a thread for ambushers to be recommended...

Personally I don't even think snipers are that useful and often get called recon squads when they rarely do such a job. But if someone would create a thread specifically for snipers do be recommended, I wouldn't have a problem with it. The main thread is a total mess... always the same guys getting recommended on multiple roles, people recommending their clan-mates or even themselves for some type of recognition.

The purpose of this thread is simple.... It is extremely hard to find someone interested and experienced in ambushing, to play with. It is a specialization as many others but one that is rarely considered and so hopefully this thread might help in that matter.

[goguapsy]

So what you're saying is that only what you consider to be "big roles" deserve their own thread?

Yes, basically.

Afterall, "small roles" are part of the "big roles".

The point of having few threads that encompass lots of things - whilst still leaving room for "specifics" - is to somewhat limit the number of threads... so if someone was looking for someone/something, look at one thread and voil?!



EDIT: Ever wondered why few people get recommended several times (excluding clanmates and self-recs)?

[Onil]

I seriously prefer having multiple threads that are organized by type of role than one for all. Easier to find what you're looking for. And what's the problem with having multiple threads anyway? There is no purpose to limiting their number... it's not like the forum can't handle a couple more.

Anyway, the thread is created and people will use it if they want. Moderators can delete if they so wish... no harm done and I doubt it bothers that many people besides yourself.

Oh I'm not bothered at all

I like people who take initiative (unless it during the game is detracts from my plan :twisted and create new stuff.

Also, if the MODs were indeed bothered, they would've closed this down already, so I guess you are good

[speedhound1-WYD-]

copy cat

most kits that are involved in this shameless business

Zirix (in the army now but still plays occasionally)

HAT/LAT

cant remember which clans their in sorry

btw there is a fine line between being an ambush hero and a main base camping ****, whats acceptable on, say, Dragon Fly is just being a **** on Muttrah, just my opinion.

btw i'm bloody useless at this, patience of a 3 year old, thats my problem, mind you i have run some quite succesfull anti-ambush bluefor squads in the past.

NwA speedhound

[Onil]

you probably mean [PR]CATA|copycat / SRF copycat

Is it Zirix or Zrix ?

Well I guess that depends where the ambush is... if you mean people ambushing right after the main base ramp then yeah I suppose you might be right. But ambushing around N/NW/SW of south city is quite alright... focusing on choke points and main supply routes is one of the primary choices of an ambusher. Which requires the enemy to be more careful and strategic in order to avoid being ambushed. Sometimes that means the requirement of a good collaboration between the infantry and the armor to keep both safe.

[speedhound1-WYD-]

Zirix (ND) i think?

speeeeed

[goguapsy]

For the best ambusher, I would like to nominate...

"Ze Zanbag".

Def one of the deadliest ones I have encountered in PR!



Seriously though, does anyone have any good tips on keeping people "excited" while we wait for an ambush? I am not an ambusher myself... but I get pissed when people keep complaining "LET's KILL something!"

I wonder what would happen if I tried a long ambush. Tips?

Smaller squads work best, specially with players with the same interests so you don't get the whining of the wait.

As for tips, for me when I have to wait a long time I just watch what's going on on the minimap while I keep control of what's going on next to me, via sound. Or tell jokes on TS with the mates. The best tip I can give you is:

Whenever you get bored and decide to abandon your ambush or change position, that's when the enemy will pass through the spot. Its kinda like a Murphy law type of thing...

So if you never move, no enemy will come close/pass your position .
