Last time I looked ta wasnt real life... although Im sure I saw a fido wandering down the srtreet one time when i was a bit drunk.
But i think some realworld tactics are viable in aa

defence creep - trench warfare - realworld

get to level3 - superior technology/arms race - real world

punisher creep - advancing artillery maybe? - real world

Flash rush - the US marine core rushing the Iraqis inferior tanks and catching them completely by surprise in their shiny abrahms during desert storm? - real world

comm bombing - nuclear bombs? - real world

I air dropped some phatboys behind enemy lines today! it does work you just have to be sneaky hehe

Ambushing on mountainous maps with kbots etc - Im sure thats been done in real life too
not to mention bombing runs and airstrikes on high priority targets....

Which mods promote tactics other than the ones above? let me know I wanna play it, I may be missing out here

oh geez, steve you know damn well that is a huge stretch.

Defense creep and trench warfare are COMPLETELY different.

oh jesus, screwit.

how precisely? a trench is a defensive position, soldiers in the 1st world war fought for years over a few miles of territory gradually moving forward digging new trenches and fortifying them only to be pushed back only to regain the same ground after further fighting,
its not too different to how some of the more porcy games play out in aa
with walls of dt etc

you didnt answer my last question either...I wasnt being sarcastic I genuinely want the info

But then there is the other thing, like how Trench Warfare is absolutly no fun at all, and very boring to watch.

I also wish more people would play EE. Why? Its faster, and more fun then AA. Am I crazy if I never really liked AA? Why? Cuase I just think the play style is a little boring. Its not an attack on AA, its just an opinion.

well of course.. porcey games are crappy, boring and slow, but they do happen... just like they do in ee sometimes.
I just like the way aa has way more scope for varied tactics imo, i.e. more varied units fullfilling many different roles, atv kbots and mechs for one, and my personal fav... emp ^^
I do like the fast pace of ee though, makes for really intense games on small to medium maps

The artillery units of EE and Gundam make trench warfare impossible.

Once someone gets artillery it is a matter of time before your base goes away. If you don't have units to take out the artillery you will be fckzored.

Or you build arty an kill his arty with it?

Not that easy, artillery is inacurrate. You need units to track down the target.

BigSteve · Post by **BigSteve** » 27 May 2006, 21:53

Well that kinda game is possible cos I.. err played one... I made arty, so did they I lost some of mine, and vice versa, we both rebuilt scouting units and arty.. la de da de daa and it just stayed the same for well the entire game, was still fun though, the arty sounds rule hehe

Yes, it's possible, but rather rare.

Easy maestro. Artillary is normally a healthy part of everyones diet, helping cure all kinds of ailments. However, some people have bad allergic reactions to artillary, the symptom of which is blowing up.

Decimator is a doctor of artillery injection. If you so much as sniffle you get an injection of anti-armor artillery.
