DEFENSE

I know that there isnt as much experience in it for it right now, but I think defending can be so much more fun then attacking sometimes. Even if I have to do it alone.

Im a BR11 Adv Hack, Adv Eng, Inf, Wraith - NC

Last night I set up shop alone at a tower behind enemy lines on Hossin and lay down mines/spitfires(etc) before any enemy really came to take a look. (It was semi-remote location is with one side only being bridge accessible which was so wonderful for my defensive purposes.)

The first one to show up was of course a lone hacker thinking he can just take it back easily because no one would likely be there. He didnt make it past the treeline as my cleverly hidden spitfire tore him up and down. He tried one more time alone, evading the first spitfire but not the second. (One hidden spitfire needs companionship you know)

I was feeling pretty successful in holding my little gun tower as he hadnt even made it close to the door. Its so nice being cloaked so you can actually stand beside them and watch their feeble attempts to get in. With a knife ready in case the oppurtunity arises of course.

My little friend had not given up on recapturing my tower and now he had brought a couple of friends with him according to my radar. From my vantage point on the roof I saw the three of them approach. Thank god no MAXs yet. I took to the ground as they arrived and apparently they knew all about my spitfires as one fired a couple of energy rounds from a lancer and they became smouldering piles of melted steel.

Cursing the Vanu, I dashed in behind them as they approached the front of the tower. I began constructing a new spitfire as their hacker approached the door... BOOM. And I thought they would have been looking for mines by now? Ah well. The Spitfire suddenly pops up behind the other two as they stare at the body of their only means to open the door in front of them. The first one dies before getting off a round but the other is in reinforced armor and is carying the lancer. He manages to take it out but it hurt badly. He makes a break back towards his facility, but I am between him and his escape. He doesnt see my knife fall into his back.

I now have a brief respite thankfully due to some friendly forces finally spawning at the tower. I let them know I am defending it and they agree to help. Two finer soldiers never lived and its only with their help that we take out the three Vanu returning a second time. They were very much watching for my mines and turrets now.

Now things start to heat up. I look towards the bridge. 5 Vanu making their way towards our position. 4 on foot and a MAX. Not good. Still only 3 of us to defend. I make a mad dash for the bridge and manage to throw down a couple of mines around the offramp. I have to go and restock aces as they finish crossing. The MAX steps on the first mine, BOOM. Damn! He doesnt even slow down. He evades the other mines and approaches the tower while firing at one of my spitfires. Once more my companions were my saviors as they now engaged the MAX leaving me free to worry about the soldiers. One had not survived the remaining mines at the bridge but the other three were seemingly in good health as they also approached. Behind me the MAX fells my fellow on the wall and my nearby spitfires. Nothing gives confidence to foot soldiers like seeing their MAX own, so they carelessly stepped on one more mine and lost one more member.

Once again I managed to construct a spitfire behind them and both went down before the MAX once again took it out. The MAX knowing I was powerless against him began smashing any defenses he could find. I needed to dash inside and reload and was wondering where my backup was. I got the wrong answer as my other friend was also killed by this damn MAX. The three of us loaded up in the respawn room and went out with rockets and grenades. The MAX finally fell.

After this it really became a battle which is foggy in my mind with gunfire and explosions everywhere. Many more NC respawned at my little tower and many, many more Vanu attacked. They shook the tower with Tanks, Reavers and MAXs for almost 30 min. I can hardly believe that in the end we managed to prevail and begin to take their nearby facilities. It was a great time and was fun to know I started the whole thing. I managed to learn that it takes 7 mines to take down a Vanu Magrider and only 1 to anhilate a Wraith as I had placed a line of them all the way down the bridge just before a convoy came down it. 15 mines in total and it wrecked 3 vehicles and a bunch of foolish infantry. I think that really pissed them off hehe.

Now lets hear some stories of your.
