the winning strategy against an equal or stronger Clan team is very specific and only 1
typically IS is following the same routine in games, leading to victory only when the clan has high enough nr. of trial mechs or when using pre-made IS team
i am playing almost always in a total pug team and sadly most of the players are anti-team players but also the occasional match happens when all are team players
the point is not to brag about damage done and how we totally smashed the clan pugs with our pre-made 12man, but to make it possible even for the weak inaccurate pilot to get his 80 points (because this nr. is the minimal contribution needed for victory)
orders like: we move across these 5 sectors of the map then go another 3 sectors cannot work in pug team
when focusing on victory and how you will now slaughter the clanners it fails especially with pugs, focus on the moment - set up the ambush now and here, not on the other side of the map
ambush - fall back - ambush
ambush does not mean always staying behind a corner, but sometimes pushing around a corner and disappearing
all those fancy movements around the map and fighting on their turf work mostly with pre-made teams, so keep those for yourself when having a team of 12 different units/factions
Nota Bene:
if of the 30minutes game 20minutes you do NOTHING and all 12 players hide
10 minutes are much more than enough to be slaughtered by a pre-made clan team and this is to say: stay back and be patient
all team members must do the same and when some of the pugs decide they know better or they want to singlehandedly kill 12 DW in a Firestarter, you have to let them die and accept that you will have a smaller team
P.S.:
we are doing too many solo drops in CW there should be an open neutral TS server to check before we queue like NGNG or Comstar
P.S.S.:
All Mechs you bring to CW should have Double heat sinks and AT LEAST one, but better 2 of these
FF armour, Endosteel
P.S.S.S.:
and a prayer to the mech gods
MAY THEIR TRIAL MECHS BE MORE THAN OUR TRIAL MECHS
May those who bring trial and non-upgraded mechs to CW have the needle of the hard disk draw the word FAIL on it
