Blobing is pretty effective and hard to combat. I have no idea how to beat a team that sticks with each other and can hold there own in a gun fight, let alone kick ass.

That's where SCOUTS That play their role come in. ------------------------------> zerg
<----------------------------- scout

Hit and run tactics breaks up the blob to some degree. and before some one says it doesn't work. I've FLANKED OBJECTIVES ON EVERY CORP. IMPS, SVER, that filipino corp. What ever the case may be, they need more than two to hold that objective from me. so do the math.

Now will I hold that objective once they bring in 3 or 4 guys? HA! no. But it should take at min ONE GUY to cap. **** or at least two.

After match starts I disappear to them, and follow my teams chat as to where most of them are. or I pop up the map. Where all the fighting is happening? No, I won't be there.
.....tho you HAV drivers know where I am, when I jump up on your tank with my proto AV.


*arrogant..*

Confident.

I also don't understand this. Strong team corps ZERG. they always do. (all japanes corps do, weak or strong) And do all of them run on foot? NO. So How is it, that teams don't prepare for this? As soon as match starts, you should have at least 3 proto av dedicated guys up front.

So there have been quite a few fights against Eon lately and I can't help but notice that most of their districts have/had a TON of clones in them. Most likely a few battles have to be fought in order for the districts to flip, and at great cost to them, but mostly to their attackers. Either way, I have a general question to anyone in PC or skirmish battles...

How do you fight the battles where you are outnumbered in clones? Also, is there a valid strategy for countering players with a better gun game... Because lets face it, a lot of Eon are some of the best AR users. However rifleman tactics can only go so far...

My initial thought is to force your enemy to play defensively...

Especially when you have what seems to be the specialty of what I observed with Team Players (Eon) last night, which was kinkat assaults with sledge-heavies zerging at objectives. I didn't see very much logistics support, but as a logi, I was often stuck trudging from a far off deployment location due to my teams' lack of uplinks. Equipment spam made making sense of the minimap and detecting the zergswarm difficult, even if you got a scan off.

But theoretically, the weakness of a shotgun/rifle and fast shield squad + heavy support would be fluxes + MD or anything that is talented at range. Sadly, CQC maps have a hard time really capitalizing on this weakness. The best you could probably do would be counter with a more armor based team and keep your suicide-flux grenades up. What made this composition even more difficult was the hit detection of things running/strafing at 7+ m/s.

But I digress, I imagine if you forced a team like this into a defensive position by hacking and then withdrawing to a more strategic location, and then mining the access route, I think this would be really effective.
