How to defend the intel (and annoy tgm)

[Defaulter]

Hey guys,

Welp I found a VERY effective means of defending the intel, armed with a shotgun and spade. It work so well tgm rages at me over mumble ;D

1) Dig the intel down into a 3x3 square, around 6-8 blocks down. Overhead view, X = block O = intel

X X X
X O X
X X X

2) dig 4 tunnels away from the intel in each direction

3) choose one of these tunnels, go inside to the end, and place a block down in front of you to protect against nades.

4) Right click and aim at the intel.

SCREEN SHOTS OF GENERAL IDEA

Enemy will either dig into the hole for the intel, or drop in to get it. As soon as anything moves into your field of vision fire away. This method works for me 9/10 times.

Only very occasional do they happen to look down and see me, and im usually watching my head aswell. but if your discovered, change to another tunnel after you've dispatched them.

I literally find this way more effective then an intel tower. With this method, the enemy HAS to cross your line of fire to get the intel, and at this range, one shotgun blast is enough to kill them easily. With just 1 or two people defending in this manor, iv kept the intel protected almost indefinitely, until I leave the server.

Just look down at the area around the intel.

Once I see your head, drop grenades repeatedly.

My tunnel extends 10 blocks away form intel, I could be anywhere is 10x10 block radius of the intel, that's 100 blocks to check WHILE your in our spawn....which is a lot of time to waste in a very dangerous area.

this is a really good tactic DE,i use it often,but once they get wise they simply tunnel behind you XD

I tried something like this a few times, I killed this one guy on the Stalingrad map like 8 times in a row with an SMG >:D

Just kept digging a new tunnel everytime he died...

I remember you and I using this tactic on Alvengard. It worked great >:)

[MoleMan]

What region is the Alvengard server? I'd like to play with good players.

[Frostified]

I hate it when he does this.

Gonna try that on MINIT US

[MrHaaaaaaxFF]

cool. thanks for the tip.

[MegaDeuce]

Actually if you're 10 blocks back, it's (pi) (10)^2 = 314 blocks to search (!)

>:D

Yes, but your tunnel only extends away from the center, so that's only 40 blocks.

If I don't have enough time to search, I'll just dive in, get intel, and find the nearest corner. I could also just dig another 1x1x3 hole:

xxx
xxx
xxx
x

I'll go down the hole, get intel, and retreat back.

I widen the end of the tunnel that faces the intel, see the pics in the OP. The entire 3x3 or 4x4 pit is visible from any of the 4 tunnels, so you cant dive in and retreat to a corner out of sight. iv tested this method for weeks, there is literally NO WAY of getting within 5 or so blocks of the intel, without first crossing my line of sight.

[Paratrooper]

Well, I guess the best thing you could do is raid it with more than one player.

[Leonzable]

Wont you get bored sitting there waiting for enemies to come?
At least the intel tower dosnt need supervision

But still, great imaginative idea, it's the first I've heard of it
