Ok, what happens when you take a blackhawk, a 6 person squad, one kick ass squad leader (me), and a little bit of luck... yea, you got it, it's called ownage.
Ok let me explain the technique real quick. First, I convinced 5 people to join my squad and to listen to me if they wanted to get the best scores of their life in Wake. Next, I got into the blackhawk at carrier and ascended to about 200ft before moving forward to where enemies can engage us. A semi-long trip to the airfield had 2 guys get antsy and bail on my in the middle of the ocean, but when we finally got to the airfield, the rest bailed out. We were at about 375 feet at that point so no AA site could possibly target us, and planes have a hard time flyinig up that high so they don't even bother.
Why was this so sweet? Well the reason I was a kick ass squad leader is because all I did for that whole round was hover over the airfield (and other flags as needed), and served as a mobile spawn point. At first my clan mates were kinda doubtful about my ideas, but after the first jump, they quickly seemed to enjoy falling from high up. We literally took over the airfield within the first wave of attacks, and quickly spread out to the other flags. The baddies never knew what hit them. They would kill all 5 of us trying to take over the flag, only to have us reappear 15 seconds later out of nowhere.
I loved it because it felt like actual teamwork! We had a routine going, they would listen to me about when to bail and when to wait. Commander was really good so he'd let me know where he wanted me to go protect/attack constantly. It was just sweet.
I had a medic kit which was good since as soon as a squad member died, I would see the heart symbol appear indicating that they were gonna spawn on me soon. This gave me the heads up to level up and stop maneuvering (because otherwise when they jump you might hit them with the chopper and lose points). After a while, my team got the hang of it and they would spawn and jump out immediatelly.
Anyway, I had a good time doing this so I wanted to share, and please, I beg of you, if you ever play with me in a Wake server, and I have a squad called "Paratroops", please join: I promise you won't regret it and you will help me not feel like an idiot flying up there for no frickin reason.
