World in Conflict: Strategy and Points

Guys, just got into WiC.

Has anyone got any tips on strategys for the 4 roles and how points are accumulated?
Always think rock, paper, scissors when sending units in. Works for me. When online and using infantry I avoid the helis and chase the tanks. If I'm air support then I tend to skirt the perimeters looking for artillery. Most important is to ensure your dropzone gives you easy access to manoeuvre your units and you keep your unit count as high as possible.

Edit: In fact, I'm going online right now for a quickie.
 
So would it be best to use up points to make as many units as possible then allow points to accumulate again to drop more units before attacking. Instead of using the units as soon as the come?

TA points are accumulated by capturing points ...the more units in the circle the quicker it gets captured and the quicker you get points....more expensive units capture quicker(i think).

killing the enemy also gets you points....say your support and you force fire somewhere where you thought the enemy was headed...if all of a sudden your TA points start to go up in numbers then that means a direct hit...if the bombs are landing and no TA is coming in then you may aswell hold fire as you aint hitting anything.

as for strategy ...really you need a bit of experience before trying tactics....just remember TEAMMATES always come first.
example if your teammate has arty units and several enemy tanks come in to attack his units...he has ZERO defense against them...so if you have 3 tanks and your tanks will get slaughtered against the numbers of the other guy then your still expected to send them in until support arrives.


just think how you could help your TEAMMATES and you should be fine
 
Servers are painful right now. Keeps stuttering and units just appear disappear as the game can't keep up.

The teammate tactic I was using a few mins ago lines up a load of heavy anti air with one heavy artillery. One of the teammates then protects this with infantry. This creates a solid defense but is open to attacks like guided bombs etc so needs moving around from time to time.

dont team up with infantry....they move far too slow and any decent support player will have a field day.

always pair them up with armor...moves a lot quicker and their main weakness is air which your units will combat.....when you come up against infantry then use your artillery to take care of them.

oh yeah u gotta watch out though some armor players dont move enough and will end up getting your AA units killed if you have used the follow command.
 
Was just playing a game there, went AA and Repair Tanks and had like 2x as much points as anyone else, not bad for less than five hour playtime. So just make AA and Repair and follow the highest ranked Armour person around :P
 
Cheers for the strategys guys.

Does anyone know what gets you whatever points?

i.e. killing a heli or a tank, capturing a comand point, repairing a unit etc...
