so basically, tankers kill supply depots to give the enemy players less options for fitting and resupply. makes sense to me, although I don't like it either.
These two, basically.
Defensive perspective:
If on defense, I usually blow up the two forward enemy CRUs as they are a liability more often then not, the two rear ones may stay if my team is doing well and I am not suspicious of a hacking war. The supply depots can stay if my team is doing well, though the forward one usually gets taken out if the people who guard A are unable to keep enemy forge/swarm infantry away from it.
Offensive perspective:
If on offense, I keep the closest CRUs online as they are critical, and attempt to keep the rear ones operational if and only if my team is aggressive enough to maintain them. If we are struggling to keep control terminal C and my team can't keep hold of them, then they have to go. The closest supply depot I always keep unless I blow it up on accident when shooting an enemy forge/swarm using it as cover, the rear one though I usually take out as it is a liability.
Basically if I notice famous AV infantry on the enemy team, I always take out the Supply Depot closest to their natural spawn, same if they are sporting a Surya pilot that I know loves to take advantage of the armor rep from being near one.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I can't afford AV infantry taking unlimited potshots at my HAV.
EDIT: For the record, I always drop two droplinks in proper locations when playing my HAV. |

Alright, I'll leave both supply depots intact then and "camp other places" (No tank should ever camp, a still tank is a noobie dead tank) which means you have zero support at A and C, only at B will I help, because the Supply Depots combined with Spawn cover those other locations.
Either way my infantry will be disgruntled and yelling at me, but hey whatever, either way someone is unhappy. |
