I played that map the other day and noticed the same thing. It seemed like I was getting almost no support from my team members. I was running around with a bazooka trying to take out tanks, but there are too many ground troops to fight off with that, so I wold drop the Bazooka and grab a rifle, wondering where the hell my guys were at!?

Keep a eye on your mini map and hit "N" for a wider view of it. Don't go off on your own like a Rambo and it up to you to go where most of your team is even if you have to stay put and wait for a few to spawn.

On the tank map "Aberdeen" I alway follow at least one tank because even two Shermans or Panzers can make quick work of the more powerful Tiger and M10s. Heading on your own does not produce much.

I know that, but this map is different. It seems like once a point was attacked, the bot players would never try to retake it. They would all seem to fall back to the main base and stay there. On a conquest map like that, you can't just fall back to your main base and let the other team just take control of all other points. It was because of this that I had to go off on my own, although I don't do so normally, to take back some of these points.

I never tried single player or servers that use bots ,I have my ASE filtering those servers out. I hear the bots on BF 1942 are as smart as a plate of piss so don't exspect much from them.:)

When you've had your fill of singleplayer and want some fun multiplayer action be sure to download the offical EA.com map "Battle of Britain". It's great and really adds another realm of fun to the game. Check out my tips on how to be an effective Battle of Britain (BoB) player.

Lot's of good stuff in there, plus most of the tips can be used in regular BF games.

Already downloaded it and already been playing it. :D

The thing I find most irritating about this map is the unrealistic speed and handling differences between the bombers and fighters. In real life those fighters are much faster and could fly circles around the bombers. In this game I find myself locating a bomber than spending quite a bit of time chasing it down because they are almost as fast and maneuverable as the fighters.

True, but that way you can actually stay behind the bomber when attacking it instead of having to strafe and circle back every time.

I stay right next to the ammo dump right against the windmill, shoot and duck behind the sandbag. I use a pistol for the tank gunners, and grenades for advancing troops (more unrealistic spamming). The problem is that they will also sneak up on you from behind. The allied AI will seem to be a bit dense, but they actually will come around if you call for reinforcements and wait. The problem is staying alive. Of course it's not the only way to play, but it allows you to meet them head on. The biggie with the Botb map is you usually end up having to take charge of personally driving tanks out to the frontlines. I like the map though because the battle is long and there are a lot of turn-overs.

I live breath and eat BF1942 and its mods. Galactic Conquest is crap though, give it a few months and download it when it has been worked on some more.

Desert Combat is my favorite mod, although I really like EOD. I don't think EOD is going to be around anymore though.

Ugh, I hate El Alamein!! Especially Day 3.

In order to appreciate Alamien, start up a 64 COOP, get into the apache and rack up 150 kills. ;)

Only Pros know how to enjoy Alamein.

El Alamein is my favorite map. Day two is the most fun, if you can get a heli. :D

One last mention on technique while I am peh-ruzing this forum right now and the thread is back up. Most people know his, but for those who don't there are two more neat tricks to advance the league while playing 1942 pure form. One is making short work of light tanks using near point blank shots with the bazooka at the rear of the vehicle. It takes a few more with heavy units, but one-on one without surrounding troops, most tanks just can't out manouver you, especially with a dip and dive technique. It really helps save on ammo and esp. works nice using the bridge road barrier in the market garden map, waiting for the armour to move past to the checkpoint control point. Lastly, a nice counter shot with a tank to avoid rollovers on steep hills works wonders for mobility. After a few sessions of "nothing to see here, move along" situations (embarrasing even around lowly bots :o), it made a nice adjustment in self preservation techniques at high speed pursuit.

Giday Un4given do you know of a tutorial to set up thrustmaster warthog in BF1942.I can fly with pitch roll and fire.need to calibrate joystick throttle and
CH pro pedals
Thanks
