Weaksauce uses gas. Real men use bandages to kill. Git gud

[PawSza86]

I second that, it become almost imposible to complete officer challenge, because nobody dies even when using mustard gas on contested point.

Cheese it with someone :) that's how we all do it.

[Martin Messerstecher]

ironically that's the same conclusion that both sides in ww1 came to. it's basically useless. look up how many people got killed vs only wounded by combat gas in ww1

[Kneecap]

On the challhenge side, play with bots and usually you will get good amount of kills on single point objectives. Make sure to be on the attacker team to maximize kills.

Don't do the challenges against players, play against bots in your own private server

I died on a mortar because I couldnt equip a gas mask while on it, same goes for MGs.

[Vulpes ferrilata]

I agree. Now we have time to fully defuse bombs and then put the mask on without dying. Gas has no tactical value once the element of surprise has disappeared.

Combat gas is spicy smoke. Use it right behind an objective so that the enemy team has to put on mask to go on obj while your guys can still breathe fresh trench air.
Your men get protection from far away snipers and MGs and enemies advancing are somewhat impeded by their masks.

The only advantages I can think of are that the officers can't whistle and you can place them around the target so they either have to go through it or around it. I often place them on the way to the target so they have to put on the gas mask and their vision is limited.

ive heard of this tactic before, but doesnt the advancing team also use the gas as cover then?

That's a very good point, and one of the downsides of using this tactic.
In my opinion, there's more downsides for the advancing team even if it gives them some cover, but of course you have to assess the situation and see if it is a good choice or not.

For maps with a lot of cover, like trenches and/or forests, the additionnal concealment given by the gas cloud won't make much of a difference anyway, while still forcing them to put on their masks.
And generally, I think you're at more of a disadvantage when exiting the cloud, as in the enemies will see you before you can see them or even just your surroundings.
