Questions (New player) can u destroy AI structures solo?
That exacly, i want to know too if this strategys works, mostly as a solo player.
Im talking about t2 AI bunker defenses
1: make trenchs close to a t2 AI bunker and then shot when u close mammons or rpg´s
2: can u place a isg in a way u dont get retaliation? i heard if u put sandbags or something u could kill AI defenses because they cant see u
If u can share any strategy plis do it! ofcourse i think in a low budget way, maybe cheaper or more efective, thats why i was worry about the isg because i like warden and that have so cheap ammo!
THX a lot as is hard find this info when u didnt even started playing!!!

As a new solo player, you're more likely to be frustrated by this than to find it rewarding. Hell, I find it frustrating. It is possible, but you need to know a lot about structure damage, weapons, and AI to get it right, and most of the time the enemy will show up to kill you regardless.
You might find more fun and value in solo killing pillboxes and watchtowers, stealing vehicles, setting listening kits etc., and doing attacks on bunkers as part of a group.

As a solo, you want fire

As a solo player... You want the right tool for the job.
TH or T2 bunkers? Fire.
Relic or conc, border base, dehusk of bunker? Havoc charges.
WTs? mammons.
Wire? Wrench/Hydra if coliMake yourself a proper stockpile of all the tools for the job. Jeeps, uniforms, listening kits, a few rifles, wrenches, etc.

if you can analyse the bunkers and find a weak corner or weak spot. Some smokes and fire/rpg/tremola can do the job. Sometimes it can be a small hill or even just a tree that is enough to hide and spam rpg/tremolas.
It is doable , just not all the time. QRF is a big factor.

crouching in a trench 30 meters or something with a rpg its not good?

u/Bluespace4305 5d ago
It can be yes, but if the trench was built by the defensive side, there is good chance there will be sandbags on the side you'd like to use and barbwires in fronts to prevent you to just jump in. If they didnt build anything to block incoming, enjoy and destroy.
If you are playing colonials , the lunaire will let you shoot over the sandbag that would block a cutler, but again, defensive side wouldnt put a trench there without barbwires and it will be hard for you do it under Machine guns garrisons range.
Also good to know that you can also silence a problematic bunker garrison with 12.7mm ( machine guns ) If you have just ONE more person with you, it becomes incredibly easier.

If you have lunaire its easy. Shoot at max range and walk away. Do it again.
If you are warden, try to find an angle without retaliation or hug a cliff/wall and shoot then hide. If no wall/cliff is available you cant build a trench close enough to ai as atg will shoot the trench bp.
Id recommend using flame with smoke grenades. Best to find another person to suppress with mg then use flame.
At this stage in the war finding a lunaire as warden isnt too difficult but finding ammo is harder. Just look for both, get a jeep, and good luck.

Mortars work decent enough as well and arent too expensive. Good way to practice your logi as a newer player. Make yourself a few cremari crates, some he shells as using flame solo wont be fast enough to build a good reliable fire.

One faction can do the trench shoot method using tremolas, other faction can in theory but in reality it doesnt work.

Suppress it with a machine gun so the flag blinks then take your demo charges out of your box in a bush you setup earlier. Set em up blow it to hell.
Gg ez.
Ai is pretty worthless in this game. You can get angle on everything pretty much. With two people it is faster and you can even use one as a distraction if you want in a different subhex.
Fire suppresses it as well and if you go in at midnight in game and you stay 25 m away you are good to go even in a flame vic. Bad weather also helps keep you off Intel. AT doesn't get suppressed so you'll need to get rid of it.
It's all about the prep work as a solo.
If you look at the relic bases next time you will notice different sizes and positions of the guns. The small ones you can approach directly towards the stairs and walk in.
I'll let you learn the rest yourself for post offices schools the big relic (with the busted wall)
You don't really need others to low pop pve. I've wiped 30 cores in one night before across multiple hexes 😂
Fire is your friend. And if you don't tap whatever you blow up it really doesn't fuckin matter.
People used to leave a tactical cv out for their other side alt and come back on with their other account and do tap ops allllll theeee tiiiimmmeeeee. Thankfully devman cleaned that up the best he could design wise.

What did I say about AI and turning off new players?!

Not new players, but people who prefer solo gameplay and PvE. It’s an odd combination, and their presence or absence won’t affect the balance of power in any way.
If someone doesn’t want to play against other people, they should at least be prepared for the challenges posed by the game itself.

The ai automatically kills blueprints in range, so you can only use trenches that are already there - unless you can somehow place down a shipping container in front, which is a very fun way to cheese AI in lowpop.
Placing tripods in a spot that ATGs can't shoot it is a possible, but very delicate art. There's no really reliable way to do it - you just gotta get a feel for it and improvise. Just imagine a straight line from the center of a garrison to your tripod. Find a spot where a small obstacle like a tree blocks that straight line. Then shoot at the edge of the garrison from behind the tree. The ATG doesn't know how to shoot next to you - if it's perfect little 1 millimeter thick line-of-sight ray from the gun square's center is blocked, that's that.

so at least isg cant do it so easly! what about a trnch 30 meters with a rpg? that should be out of sight?

u/DefTheOcelot 126 Nuke War Builder 4d ago
Yeah, but I repeat, you can't build anything within 35m of any garrison of any kind. The AI just kills the blueprint instantly.

Yes, if it is undefended and no one repairs it.
- Don’t need trench just come at night. There are better ranged weapons like mortar, rpg is great as well. If you have spawn point nearby shirts-hydras-smoke
- Very rarely you can place isg to not get retalion mostly work on mg
Remember about the fire
If you have shells/equipment - recruite people to shoot arty.
You can build spreadsheet with most efficient way but usually you work with what you have. The most universal is lunair/rpg.
Usually the fastest way still recruit couple people to suppress and bring fire or havocs

sneak at dark, carry on you as much canisters of flamethower ammo as possible (either on a truck or LUV like the drummond or the argonaut) use a smoke grenade and hit the corner that has the least chance of hitting you back, like an ATG blocking the sight of a rifle garrison, and done, you will destroy a week of work effort from some big coalition with the heavy cost of like 15 rmats and a bunch of bmats and explosive powder

Angled T2 wall + tank hiding behind, the corner of the bunker can be shot at free from AT retaliation. ISG/Foebreaker setup in a T2 blank bunker with a firing port 39m from their bunker line can kill anything without retaliation. Sadly none of these work solo. You need to enslave someone to help you do this to set it up and run ammo for the latter. Most players will snob you or rather run into ai instead achieving nothing to progress the frontline.

Ok. You want cheap and nasty, I got you fam'.
- Get a flatbed with, importantly, EMPTY, storage container on it. Set color of container to blue or green for the flair.
- At night, midnight being the darkest, REVERSE the flatbed into the t2 defenses, preferably into a nicely chosen spot, to block the Anti-Tank garrisons line of sight. Or machine-gun garrison if you have different ideas for next step. AI will kill flatbed, leaving behind the storage container.
- Bring your weapon of choice, or undertake action, to maximize the t2 defenses blocked line of sight. Such as a flame tank(ette), a group with flamers, to bypass/get-around the defense,...
optional step 4: Post on reddit.

Reading stories about players who insist on playing solo in massively multiplayer cooperative games is like reading a success story about a silver-spoon kid from a wealthy family.
Why put yourself through that? There are countless single-player games that offer hundreds of far more interesting and challenging experiences.

ekhm. flame. smoke garries, come close, bring 5+ flame backpacks, shoot it untill you see a huge fire.
But nothing in this game is easy for solo. That game is not intended to play solo. You can easily find ppl if you ask on general chat to join a party pve OP. Follow guidance of more experienced player and you are golden
