Hey, piece of advice, dont deploy a fiddy on a hilltop in lue of an AA gun, it doesnt work, hehe...

the fiddy has a rectangular maximum field of vision like a strip of tape. it cant rotate and it only tilts a little, so really for maximum effect needs to be pointed in the direction where it can take out a squad in a tight formation, has anyone found interesting ways of using the fiddy?

discuss.

even though I burst out laughing every time I see som1 on the 50 (it looks like they are taking a dump) I think the best way of using them is to be placed on a hill, overlooking the hill they might come from- since they will pop their heads up to have a look, and you can give them a bullet for their trouble.

I usually place them overlooking a road. And placing them on hills in a two edged sword. Sure, you can see everything, but everything can see you.

So i usually put them in a low position so i can easily mow down people as them come down from a hill.

Or simply putting them to defend one important choke point such as a bridge ;)

I set one of them next to helicopter air base, Fools road, to cover the country road.
Had a good time with that, taking out several technicals, infantry and even one of those crappy militant APC :mrgreen: .

In insurgency, placing them on major roads leading to main base (VCP on basrah) to take out suicide bomb cars and encroaching personnel works like a charm. silly insurgents
