Field Capture in Attack Mode
« on: August 13, 2006, 09:25:51 PM »
I have yet to figure out to make a field capture in attack mode.  In the score box, there is a place for it; but, I always have 0.  

So, I have two questions:

1)  Is there a way to make a field capture in an attack mode?  (I can't think of one)

2)  Does the "0" factor into the overall attack rank if it is not possible to achieve a field capture in that category?  (Yes, I realize that it effects everybody the same and therefore nullifies itself -- but I am still curious)

Thanks

That is technically an unused catagory but you can score a capture that way in a round about way.
You deploy the troops and while they are in transit to the map room you exit youir ride and them respawn a sortie scored as 'attack' mode.
Just like the delay you sometimes get after droping torpedos at range or a late kill or assist message in the Tower.
The capture of the base would be scored during your attack sortie.

Because itīs your hit% with ordonance vs objects. Hitting objects with torpedoes or rockets, launched from a PTboat will score under that category

An attack capture will be shifted to bomber or GV capture- depending on which one you used- the next time you ranking is tallied.

This will not score you as an individual with an attack capture.  Instead it will score as normal on your stats.  But if you are in a squad, it will score as one for your squad.....Shhhhh, I haven't told anyone outside my squad about this in the 3 years Ive known about it ;)
