Let's Discuss Firebird!

I get bored of small maps ,medium maps are better for mass burning!

Agreed

smaller maps are just for fun

I get bored of small maps ,medium maps are better for mass burning!

Small maps and medium maps are both plain fun for short-ranged weapons such as firebird and isida, but big maps are where it starts to get bad.

^^ but DYKT mentioned that he used it in kungur. Also I saw a battle pic too with wasp fire combo at the top of the score table in kungur!

[r_SpiderPig12 98]

go Wasp/Fire!!

[omonoto 1]

I use the Mamouth M1 and a Fierbird m1 in Polygon, ratio= approximately 5 lost 20 kills, first of the map!! But it is rare... -_-

Keep it up. I'd say switch to a medium collateral hull as Hunter or Viking (may be even hornet) with Firebird.

I used it even in Serpuhov. . .Lol! :lol: The main problem there is:

1. Impaled by Multiple Railguns
2. Shaft

Though they can be avoided easily. First of all, I'm a Wasp. I'm nimble, speedy, and hard to aim at. Not to mention Digital paint. ;)

For Shaft, or any kind of sniper, it's important you locate him first. Then ricochet from wall to wall, or maybe make a quick run if you want to.

Once I get behind them, or to them, I'm able to kill them off easy.

For Serpuhov, I used the buildings behind the bases to hide. My main objective:

1. Infiltrate
2. Hide
3. Wreck Havoc!

Just burn and hide. :D I usually use anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of my fuel when doing this, or if it's a dangerous opponents, maybe just 1/4. :P

It's amazing in big maps. Since I use a Light hull. . . .and I have a very good paint for camouflage, which is Digital.

 

As a former Railgun user, I find Hornet much easier to spot than Wasp. . . . even though nothing loses my sight.. . just that Hornets are easier to look for, aim at, and especially hit with that extended body of theirs.

 

I tend not to play in small maps. . . the smallest I'll tolerate is Sandbox or Sandal. Any smaller and I don't like it. . . possibly because less people means bigger responsibility. It's more relaxed in a 10 vs 10 battle, and you can trust tanks more. :P

 

So yeah, I like Silence, Kungur, and Serpuhov. Although Silence is what I play majority of the time. .. mostly because it's most common. I'm trying to play for Serpuhov though, with Fire/Wasp/Digital. CTF of course. .. .

 

For Kungur it's a bit offensive for me. I love clearing out Snipers. . . :P One of my specialties. :D

 

And let me tell ya'll a tip. If you reach enemy base, and a teammate takes enemy flag, but your own flag is taken, don't attract attention. Instead, hide in your enemy base. Then wait for the guy with your flag to arrive at his base. When he does, don't be an ***** and reveal yourself. . .  wait for his back to be turned, or when he comes closer. Then burn him to death and return the flag.

 

He is most likely alone, or injured. . . .But if he is accompanied maybe by an Isida, you might want to be extra careful. I hate it when teammates think they don't have to kill the Isidas. . . -_- Don't underestimate them, since remember there are two opponents. . .2x the fire power, 2x the speed to blow you up.

 

And if he is drugging, wait for his drugs to wear off, then drug yourself, since he might use Health Pack. :mellow:

 

My point is, I love staying behind at enemy base. It's awesome. :D

 

And if you're hiding in enemy base and enemy flag is returned, but your flag isn't, I guess on certain circumstances you could just take on the responsibility of flag carrier yourself. Just be wary of respawns. :ph34r: They're like killer ninjas. . . .

 

Another tactic, although this is very tricky, and especially very risky. If Enemy flag is returned, and the enemy with your flag just returned, don't even think about stopping him, unless he's very injured. Then just kill him and return. However, if he is still strong, loaded, and accompanied, don't do it. Your death will be in vain. Instead, you might just want to let him cap it, and wait for your team to arrive.

 

When they do, logically they will be giving the enemy one hell of a fire fight. Now this is your chance! Slip in from behind and either:

 

1. Show no Mercy and Kill them all from behind. (Usually preferred if teammates are drugging. Then let one of the faster and professional teammates carry the flag. Don't ever let a noob carry a flag.
2. Take the flag and run like hell.

When attempting option #2, do analyze what you're opponents are. If there is a Freeze, get as far away from him as possible. Run, run, Run!

 

However, think of it like a Football game. . .. not Soccer. . . Football.  . .

 

Look at the skirmish between your team, and your enemy's. It is like the line-up of a Football game, no? If you see a hole where you can get through, DO IT. That is a very smart tactic. Why? The enemy will be thinking that you will exit through the backdoor, not through them. :) and Logically that hole will be covered soon. Furthermore, when you do that, you just breached sanctuary. Your enemy has to fight through your team, to get to you. And not to mention by the time they do that, you're miles away! Woot!

 

So yeah, the summary of what I meant was you pass by your enemies. :D Usually only attempt this with a Light hull. Any other hull? No.

 

However, like I said, get as far away as you can from the Freezes. If there is an enemy Freeze fighting your teammates, don't do what I said above. Just exit through another path. You don't want that Freeze to touch you.

 

You're a light hull! Use your speed, agility, and size to do your bidding! Although the tactic I mentioned above usually requires good maneuvering. . . which Wasp has.

 

Hornet on the other hand has drifting. . . .it might get in your way.

many words :o

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Well, just a detailed description of a couple of strategies of mine. . . might not be that detailed, but I gave some kind of effort to elaborate. :P

 

Although maybe I should've posted the tactic on Wasp section. . . oh well.

[Raphael2 3,263]

Nicely said DYKT, I've got wasp as well now. We should play together :)

I remember using Firebird and Viking M1 at WO3 - I wonder if the combo is better at M2. I know it's better LOOKING at M2.

[omonoto 1]

 

Keep it up. I'd say switch to a medium collateral hull as Hunter or Viking (may be even hornet) with Firebird.

Me too, I use hornet: but I him  did not evolve.

 

Sorry for me anglisch, I am French. ^_^

[kinkazma 1]

It's a very good turret m1!

[doughnut2100 763]

Still doing mine haha, now at 29.5, will probs stop when i hit 32-34 damage/sec and then il start to boost the burn effect.

Nice! Mines at 29.1 now.

[Xerothermic 44]

Mine is at 40.9 at the moment. I will MU the burning damage after I get Viking M2.

[sam131192 113]

Two Rockets together.. :lol:

[r_rroller3213210 37]
