Umm war of 1812? Revolutionary wars? Pretty sure we had rifles by that point and still marched in straight lines at each other..

Do you even know your history?

How do you think the US won the revolution?

It saw lines of soldiers marching in groups and lines under ridiculous battle tactics, and went gorilla warfare on them. They ambushed and flanked and set traps. They didn't fight head to head.

Napoleonic tactics were not about honor but about marching people to their deaths and overwhelming the enemy. The reason Cavalry was so important back then was so infantry on horseback could out maneuver large masses of marching men and cut them down from the sides and back.

During Gettysburg, the Confederates tried everything they could to flank Little Round Top and take it because of its strategic advantage and NOT wanting to take it head on if they could help it (the reason that Pickett's Charge was a massive failure and huge mistake, was because it was a head on charge).

Did ANYONE read my first post? Or even my last? Shocked

I'm starting to doubt the reading comprehension of this community...

I am a die hard minja, and have been running it 99% of the time since 1.0, and in no way is it intended to take on great numbers of mercs by itself. Only if they are foolish, and let you cut them down from behind as a group. I have mixed feelings about where Minmatar scouts are at the moment, but I don't think now is the time for a buff, and certainly not one that would allow us to take on multiple opponents at once in CQC.

And seriously... if you are outnumbered you really complain about getting killed? It would OP as **** if it could defeat two enemies without a hitch. Don't need a cloak to knife ya, and preferring to take the opponent from behind isn't a sign of cowardice, the rear is just the preferred entrance to penetrate. If you'd like to crouch, I'm sure plenty of Minjas wouldn't mind going from the front~ Nah, im pretty sure blindsiding someone from behind has been a trait of a coward since the stone ages. Less than a couple hundred years ago our armies marched head on in straight lines, as this was the honorable thing to do. Only the United States and its Apache training changed this. Now its called "tactics" I guess.. I assure you, if an army had the chance to flank and mow down their opponents from behind or from the side, they damn well did it. There hasn't been any real honor or chivalry on the battlefield since the days of knights and chivalry, and those days are long gone. Thunderbolt. verb and noun. "James thunderbolted in his pants."

This was before all the rest of the talk, so perhaps do your due diligence before coming to the conclusion? Thunderbolt. verb and noun. "James thunderbolted in his pants."

It had nothing to do with the minjas role. Actual "ninjas" had the same role, but you would be hard pressed to find anywhere in our history that they were honorable. Effective, but hardly honorable.. Fair enough. Maybe that is why I like being a Minja. Thunderbolt. verb and noun. "James thunderbolted in his pants." "I lit a bag of thunderbolt on fire on CCP's doorway"
