    i feel like a lot of games im the only one trying to actually use some common sense. ill grab rhinos and put them where the enemy cant see or flank the enemy in one and clear the area with the bolter for as long as i can allowing my squad to put the pressure on those pesky chaos. sooooo many space marine players just park them directly in firing lines of the enemy or steal mine from my hiding spots and go get it killed, anyone else had the joys of similar experiences?
  2. It cannot comprehend the endless stream of attacking sheep running on foot from the default DZs the entire match. If you're running on foot from default DZ's in the attack you've already lost the match. If your squad doesn't have a Rhino up, take the 20 to 30 seconds to set up a Rhino. Always run to objectives via your squad Rhino.

    Most of the time I'm the only guy setting up a Rhino in my squad. It gets really old and I miss out on a lot of exp taking the time to grab the Rhino but I refuse to run from the default attacker DZs on foot like the sheep.

    I just dont get it. I try and try to suggest on voice comms "guys we need Rhinos". I can set and watch an endless stream of lemmings running on foot from the default attacker DZ's the entire match. It blows.. my... mind.

    Defensive Rhino's are also critical, just as useful in defense as the attack.

    And yes, the jerks who like to hijack our well hidden Rhino's so they can play bumper cars. That's very frustrating. Only the person who took the time to grab the Rhino should be able to hop back in the drivers seat.

    and after you park the rhino a random guy jump on the driver seat and drive the rhino in front of the enemy with a anti tank gun.

    Space Marines seem to hate Rhinos, no idea why but I have to constantly scream at them in faction chat to pull Rhinos and make use of them.

    I've seen people that even take up the well hidden rihno to drive it to the enemy DZ and make it explode with the Out of Battlezone timer, and when I see that, sometimes I'm not sure if they are brand new, or just trolling.

    I don't know why, but this gif both infuriates and amuses me.

    Yup, i spend most of my time spawning predators and rhinos to maintain vehicle dominance, while also taking out enemy vehicles as much as possible. When I'm not dealing with vehicles I'm haulin boodie to objective points and keeping the enemy busy on all fronts, surprisingly my team wins most of the matches I'm in, whether it's Chaos or SM. Unless I get stuck with a full team of new recruits, then it's just a slaughter.

    On the wintery refinery map I see people going from the DZ to point A all the time, which is understandable but you could just have a rhino parked outside the main building and save a fair bit of time. You could also have a second rhino on the other side of the building and come in from behind as well. Or better yet have that second rhino go to B and capture that point and have a third rhino go to C and capture that point, while also having a predator on the prowl to take out enemy vehicles.

    Hopefully when war bands gets here we can get more organized with that and give these new guys a pep talk before the match. :)

    i just saved a game by parking my rhino infront of a predators line of fire stopping it from shooting on the C node in the desert match, interupted the node and we pushed them back to A, like you said i wish we could que in groups and use a bit more strategy
