We've all seen these people:
The Sharpshooter/Reaper that sits back taking pot shots and never advance from their roost.
Please move up when we have AA control so you'd get a better vantage point and shoot more people.
The Predator that does nothing but sit on a roost to spam eoc pucks into the AA.
You should be flanking to the enemy's side of the map and harassing them from the side or behind.
That one guy who shoots the enemy ship when he/she could be helping your team fight for the AA.
We would get a lot more done if you'd at least tell us that you think shooting the ship is a good idea before hand, we'd get around to shooting it down faster. And have the decency to oblige when the team asks you to help push for the AA anyway, especially when our base still has enough hp to last.
The people who are sitting outside of the AA zone and just shooting while the rest of your team is slugging it out with the enemy for control of the AA.
Please fight INSIDE the AA with us so we can at the very least delay that one missile that will sink our battle ship.
The people who are chasing enemies when we have AA control while the enemy battleship is in the air.
Please stand on the AA with us so that the missile battery shoots faster so that our base or battleship doesn't have to take more hits than necessary.
The list of these people probably goes on but I'll stop here.
Do people not know about the AA counter or understand that the number of people standing on the AA matters?
There is a counter on the AA meter on the HUD that indicates the number people from both teams that are standing in the AA zone. The number of people of both teams on the AA affects how fast the AA launches, the more people from your team are standing on the AA than the enemy team, the faster the AA launches for you. If the AA is under contest the team with more people on the AA gets the silo to launch missiles for them.
Do people not keep an eye on the EU counters and know not to leave the AA after our ship goes down when the enemy is less than 30 EU from launch?
Do people not understand team composition and that bombardment mechs like the Grenadier, Rocketeer, and Incinerator are in general more effective at attacking the AA than a sniper like the Sharpshooter or the Reaper?
Do people not understand that when a battle ship is in the air there should always be at least 4-5 people on the AA at ALL TIMES, whether to shoot the enemy ship down as fast as possible or to stop or at least help delay enemy missiles launching and damaging OUR ship.
Do people not understand that when the AA is being contested, we need EVERYONE on the AA to drive the enemy away? You will help a lot more by sitting on the AA and increasing the AA counter by 1 in our favor than you would by sitting back and taking potshots. I DON'T CARE if you are a Sharpshooter, Predator or a Rocketeer or that you are damn good at it, but when the AA is under contest it is ALL HANDS ON DECK, NO EXCEPTIONS DO YOU READ ME YOU GOD DAMN LOW DOWN GOOD FOR NOTHING YELLER BELLIED SONAVA MOTHERF*CKING MAGGOT? WE ARE THROWING OUR ASSES ON THE LINE HERE AND YOU ARE JUST SITTING THERE, BREATHING OUR AIR AND FARTING IN IT SO GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER , GET YOUR CQC ON, AND PLANT YOUR ASS ON THE AA, ON THE DOUBLE MISTER OR GOD HELP US ALL.
I understand that there are a few exceptions to the above and that not all of what I wrote is well worded, but bear with me here; Siege Mode IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, how the hell can we get more people to know this stuff and be more productive in siege mode?
Can we get the new devs to do something to make siege mode easier for newbies to learn after they finish fixing the servers and matchmaking?
If that's impossible what can we do to compensate for incompetent teammates?
