Another Tank Company Battle

Hi All,

I would like to host another tank company on 29/02/12 (Wednesday). Let me know if you can attend. It will be the same format as the last time (champion level).

This time I will check Xfire and Steam for you.

Okay, here's what I figure: Bob wanted the tank company to happen at 2030 his time, 1930 UK time, and 1430 my time. So, if you are intrested in joining the tank company, please be on W-o-T before the battle time and I will invite you to the company. Let's have some fun and play together....

Wish I could, but can't this time

As I recall, we had 2 wins and a lot more losses... Don't know what lesson we can learn though... Guess I'm not that insightfull

Here's what I learned:

1. Never host a tank company because you get blamed for everything.
2. Mute all players because everyone has their own idea on how to play.
3. Do not try to plan an attack because everyone does what they want anyway.

So, after learning all that I've decided not to host anymore tank companys. Someone else can do that and get blamed for the losses....

Well All I know is that I had fun, even with all the losses.

But you are correct about us not being coördinated

As for hosting, I'm not up for that, I will join and take orders if another one wants to 'lead' and if I can make it off course...

Pete why should company play be different then squad play? Just because we play with a few more players on the map and in TS doesn't make us team players all of a sudden. We have a hard time making or sticking to a plan in a squad and I have yet to see any of us play for the good of the team as opposed to individual scores/kills.

In squads we are up against people that mostly play like us or the times when one ore more enemy squads actually play coordinated we loose.

In companies we are up against (for the most part) real clans as far a actual playing goes we (and I mean all of us regardless of tag) are people who happen to enjoy playing together, but as far as actual teamwork goes we have a lot to learn.

This is obviously no ones fault it just shows that we are not ready. Coming up with a general tactic while the map is loading is a bit late IMHO again not anyones fault just fact.

I agree with what you have said. I did have fun. I did notice that some of our players were not ready to loose as much as they did (credits) and that did put a strain on what tanks were played. As far as team tactics go, we have none. I just don't want to host anymore tank companys. Let someone else get the after battle fall out for a change....

Would it work if, within your tank platoon, you split into two squads? And all members of a squad stick together in some sort of formation. Maaaay be easier to control? (unless you aready tried, I apologise). Wish I could be up there with you guys!

I know, I do not play and I have not played in any battles, but, I am going to put in my two cents anyway, like any of you are surprised.. morbid used to "compete" it was so long ago I don't even remember what game it was, maybe BF2, anyway, the reason we never won anything was because there was no structure or practice of any kind. We never played as a team. So maybe you guys should practice and figure it out before you go in hog wild and lose. Just saying!

You split into 2 squads and then you get strays running all over. Practice is a great idea, just it is hard as hell to get everyone on to do it. I must appologize, I just needed to vent. So, when the players get enough credits saved up to have another tank company (and someone else hosts it) I'll be there with my teir 8 tanks to support. See you on the battlefield.

pete just because u hosted it it's not your fault we lost,as u said one main problem is everybody has there own ideas how to play, it was a lot of fun and that is how it should be, i know losing sux
but some some of those tnk clans worked together really well especially the guys with the arty.
In bf2 it was easier to split into groups could we do that 4 groups of three stop people playing as
individualls.

I must admit it, I had a blast playing in the tank company. I did feel bad for Alex when he said he didn't have enouhg credits to repair his tank. I don't think that he knew that the opposing team gets half of you credits and half of your experience points. A tank company battle is the only time I can loose credits with my Lowe or KV-5. Thanks for the incurragement (probable spelt it wrong)Bolts, I did feel it was my fault for the losses.
