Guide to playing in 公路大战 effectively


About 公路大战
Overview:公路大战 is a very unpopular 地图; you'd be hard pressed to find it no matter what 等级 you are. It has a niche role for being the setting of 等级 up parties, but is still outclassed by运动场,里约, and even柏林巷站in that aspect.
战斗模式:死亡混战, 团队对战, 互夺军旗, 控制点
大小:24 玩家, 12 vs 12
Tactics
死亡混战/团队对战
镭射炮and马格南are viable in the sense that you can 火车站2 well up above, at the top of the 地图, and pick off unsuspecting 红队 on the 其他 side or down below. From many vantage points upon either cliff, you'll have a great view of a fair portion of the 地图. However, this tactic isn't as viable as it once was, given that镭射炮's now-present laser 辽源 reveals 您的位置, meaning that you cannot "黑色营地", so to speak, and if you run into an enemy whilst trying to change location, barring them being battered as well to the extent you can pick them off with an arcade 模式 shot, you are finished.
However, this does not mean that using镭射炮here is borderline suicide. A great number of镭射炮users have mastered the art of hiding their impetuous laser sights by hiding it in the ground or on the border of a 多边形, using the peripherals of their vision to 侦察机 out potential targets. Concealing the beam until a 坦克 comes into view is a great way of racking up surprise kills, since very few 坦克手们 will be able to dodge the sudden line of red in time before the bullet blows them into oblivion.
雷暴炮is another viable option, due to the 高 amount of props planted in the 地图 - arguably a bit more reliable in terms of its success as well. While it may not have 最高启动加速度 at infinite 射程, it can still deal hefty amounts of 伤害 to previously 伤害坦克, possibly scoring a kill without them ever knowing what hit them. Not only can it handle 玩家 from a distance, but mid-ranged combat is a breeze for雷暴炮, scoring kills on镭射炮and马格南who were starting to set up and黄蜂轻甲hiding from fire across the 山谷.
激光炮can be useful for hitting unsuspecting 红队, and does a lot better up close than its镭射炮counterpart, although it faces similar problems with镭射炮in being particularly easy to spot during charge-up. Unfortunately, there is no way to hide the glow from the 炮塔's end, so you're probably going to have to either pin yourself to one spot or be constantly on the move.
互夺军旗
镭射炮enables you to be a solid 守卫者, with the best 职务 being away from the 旗子 - whilst your laser 辽源 may reveal 您的位置, 其他, more mobile teammates and the 旗子 itself will, barring a stale game, take priority, and this is a psychological advantage for you. You can continue to pick off threatening 红队, knowing that taking you out isn't the top priority; however, that only applies to shorter ranged 炮塔, such as滑膛炮,冰风暴and火焰炮- you should be more wary of opposing激光炮and雷暴炮, as they will generally beat you in a 1-on-1 unless you specifically target them. However, as effective as the tactic is, this leaves 其他红队免费 to roam, possibly more dangerous ones that are more inclined to grab the 旗子.
火焰炮,冰风暴and滑膛炮are also viable as it enables you to be a hard-hitting offensive threat. The quarters are relatively cramped once you reach the individual cliff 山谷, leaving little room for 红队 to escape. On the 其他 hand, this doesn't give you much room to maneuver, either, so keep your exits mentally marked and your route forward flexible.
马格南does an excellent job on the defending perspective of this 模式. While clearing out attackers before they reach out for the 旗子, it can also act as an additional line of defense. All these actions are possible without the need to expose your 坦克 !
The best 底盘 for this 地图 are generally ones that can either dodge or take a镭射炮blast. Granted, that leaves only黄蜂轻甲,蜂王, some variants of独裁者,泰坦, and猛犸象, leaving the to universal 底盘 generally outclassed unless you have a solid 抗性迷彩. While the镭射炮may not be the 猎人中甲 it used to be on this 地图, do take great care in watching for them. Count the number of 坦克手们 using it, and try and keep a head count on where they are and places they may be hiding. The last thing you want to do in a黄蜂轻甲is drive headlong down someone's 辽源 without realizing it.
控制点
蜂王and黄蜂轻甲are useful for capturing the inevitably neglected 控制点 with a hard hitting 炮塔 such as火焰炮,冰风暴或激光炮to support it, since that makes sure 红队 cannot capitalize on beating you in a 1-on-1 due to raw 启动加速度. The 射程 of the weapon you choose is very dependent on what opponents are currently on the field; if the 地图 is swarming with火焰炮,冰风暴and火龙珠, a weapon with likewise close-射程启动加速度 is preferable, whilst in a situation where the cliffs are controlled by 玩家 with 射程, a long ranged 炮塔 should accordingly be used.
维京is good for bulking out hits, which should be supported with a long-射程-protecting 防御模块, such as something from the Kodiak or Griffon family, in order to prevent rival镭射炮和激光炮从削弱你,到让你成为对抗攻击者的炮灰。
