back when i started to play this game a few years back, the most important lesson i learned early on was how to respond to the "Need Bombers!" VC because that would mean that if i wanted any kills in the game, i should drop everything i was currently doing and rush back home to beat the vets to the much coveted turret seats. usually there are only two such spots on a bomber and if you start "gunning" for these seats with any type of regularity, you'll find that it is always the same handful of people sitting next to you in the other turret (if you are lucky/fast enough to get there)
in this lesson, we will learn how to "GET TO BASE" before even your commander announces the availability of bbrs. imagine what better chances you have to get at a turret spot if you KNEW 1-2 mins before anyone else that turrets are going to be needed.
we will of course show you HOW to get on a turret... thats pretty easy
we will also explore why sometimes our turrets WONT WORK
we will also talk about some cases why you shouldnt be firing at all
(these are topics you should bring up, to remind me to cover them)
1. tf bbr, omicron bbr peculiarities
2. target priority
3. enemies behind ic bases, alephs and other obstacles that look like you can shoot through but cant
4. friendly fire (important!)
5. the effects of shooting and the signature of your bbr
6. the range of your turret
7. we have hvy ints, no turrets! (why?)
GOODIES
this lesson will be hands-on. everyone will get their own turret (guardian) and an award will be given to the person with the most kills (KB)
