What makes you think new players running solo are even going to hit 500wp? They're lucky to hit 150. Plus they don't know how to call in off map support.

This game need a NPE that explains things to them, not something that can, and will, be used by veteran squads to blow the newberries to hell en mass every 30 seconds.

I have come across several newberries running solo who were perfectly capable of hitting 500 WPs. For those who can't they can squad up to use the added force to help them get 500 WPs.

I do agree that this game needs a NPE that explains things to them but I feel that no matter how much explanation you provide most newberries they will simply quit the game the moment they feel that trying to do well in a match is hopeless. We have a problem now with people quitting matches the moment they see they are up against competition. People who know the ins-and-outs of this game run off and quit instead of dealing with a possible ass whippin. If veterans are quitting matches why would you expect newberries with no real investment into this game and who consistently get beat down to continue to play this game?

And a mortar strike for 500wp is going make them stick around? They're more likely to end up getting shelled, constantly, while trying to spawn in the redline. A squad with 3 reptools on the lead during a mortar strike only needs 3 kills to get another strike. Newberries aren't going to stick around if that happens.

EDIT: I'm all for helping Newberries adjust to the game, but a Mortar strike isn't the way IMO.

Are you against it because you know it would be used against you?
