And the rubber boats now aren't easy targets as well? I mean in the J-10 u can see the water trail from a mile away, there easy to hit with the tv guided missle, even that, if u mis u can shoot the driver out,Vampira_NB wrote:

Or instead of in the Carrier on wake, they make the arty island bigger, house it with 2 LAV's which can can be at land before the J-10 can get to them
I swear the APCs in this game have no visible propulsion unit for the water, how'd they move :S
An AAVP7A1 would be nice, it has some kind of waterjet thing for moving in water.
They have, look at the Chinese APC, it has like 2 weird kind off properlor blades at the back..bennisboy wrote:

would be even better on dalian and gulf of oman, cus there u get raped by apc's when got only carrier left!
Why is that?RDMC(2) wrote:

2 squad leaders in one. Once they get to shore the squads spawn on them. 12 guys at the airfield now.mcfarmer.dk wrote:

They would still get raped on Wake. The only thing the USMC would have a chance with on Wake would be a pair of F-18s to combat the J-10s.
"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
On Wake Island in BF1942 the Japanese had an aircraft carrier where the current USS Essex is right now. The Japanese also had a destroyer spawn point near the beach flag instead of an artillery island. The USMC should also have a spawn point near the beach like in the previous Wake Island. Either adding a USMC destroyer or relocating the artillery island to in front of the beach would further balance the map instead of having all the USMC spawn points near each other.
As for LAV's under the USS Essex I believe it is a grand idea. On maps such as Gulf of Oman and Wake Island, replacing 2 of the 4 boats with APC's would better equip the USMC for making the journey to shore from the Essex.

it might also distract them for split seconds allowing friendly cobras and f35s a chance to get some breathing space.eagles1106 wrote:

As stated previously, the box does not form around the APC whilst its is in the water, so the J10's would more than likely have to make at least 1 pass to find the APC, before bombing. Also without that handy little box, bombing accurately would be difficult.

yup bombing APC's in water is a bitch compared to on land, first off you need to have geometry on high to be able to see it from far away enough, then you need to actually find the damn thing, and then you either need to slow down and gun it or try to predict where it's going and do a divebomb.~Smokey~ wrote:

why dont they just put 2 TOWs on arty island to take down the tank and jeep campers, and let the AA and jets take care of the air, and maybe the ribs could get to the main island
how about anti aircraft on rafts, or more fifties on it to give them for firepower, course that requires teamwork and if you have played bf2 you know its a free for all
Not as fast, one big sitting duck with 5 ppl in it, waiting to be bombed/tv missled.Presul wrote:

How about just getting rid of the trees on Arty Island.
That would make the stinger emplacement way more effective against the J10s.
Meh. Whatever. I'm one of these dumbasses that think Wake Island 2007 is alright as it is.
Sure, sometimes it's a complete disaster for the US forces, but hey; it happens to everyone every now and again.

i say just look at the number and if one side is losing even just 5% more than the other (like if the china team has won 753159 battles and usa has only won 715501 battles) then usa sides needs a boost somewher.
Anyone suggest yet that maybe if the players on the US team had a bit more practice they might not need to whine about needing an APC? and what if, just a thought, everyone played more and whined less?!?? think maybe that might make Wake a bit more fun?
Me too Great idea and would definately mix up the gameplay somewhat...good calltopthrill05 wrote:

To make things really simple, just move the spawnpoint from the arty island to a spawnpoint on the beach.
That would make it so much easier.
That would make it so much easier.
That would also defeat the whole purpose of the map. Something tells me you don't read the descriptions of the map.HCSkorpio wrote:
