Orders tips?

[Mtc MiTacI]

Hello! I've never used any orders and i have no idea when to use them. I've seen some people start orders when they are hard winning the game just right before it ends so im confused when is the best to start it ?

orders are usually useless except 2 of them: avenger and blind hunt. These 2 can help players to locate last enemy in air rb.

The only time I really ever use them is "Blind Hunt" and "Avenger" to mark the last surviving enemy plane in air realistic battle, never really saw the point to the rest of them.

most people use blind hunt and avenger during air RB when there is only one or two enemy planes left as a tracker system, for any orders you have though during a battle wait for a few mins to allow people to get in closer and then activate the order to maximize potential earnings.

It depends on order and game mode.

Few examples:

Antimech - Destroy the most enemy ground vehicles.

use it to farm SL. Take some rank II-III attacker, launch SL booster, join Air Realistic Battle. If you are lucky (well, majority of maps are good for this), you will find map with a lot of SOFT targets. Take off and fly straight to them (best are convoys of trucks, lines of artillery etc). Usually you will be one of max 2-3 ppl who are focused on ground targets. When you are close to targets, launch order and start destroying them. Tons of SL, especially if enemy team is focused on flying high near center of the map.

Blind Hunt - Destroy the marked unit. 3-5 units will be marked over the course of the order.

and

Avenger - Destroy the marked unit. The player who destroys the marked unit becomes the next target. 3-5 units will be marked over the course of the order.

Air Realistic Battles - launch them, when 1 enemy left and you cannot locate him. It will point him and allow your team to shot him down easily.

Be The Best - Gain the most battle score.

- good for both air and ground RB. Depends on map situation. You just need to be good and have a bit luck to do not face even better player :P

Orders are great to boost your SL gain. Cost you nothing, can bring you additional SL.

the issue I have with orders are that you have to win your own orders. I always feel bad when I accidentally "steal" an order from someone.

This makes them pretty useless, as you will always have some tryhard that's going to ruin your own order.

A suggestion would be to have those antimech -type of orders have 3 places, like 1st place gives you +3x, second place +2x and last place +1x multiplier...

...or even better, promote teamplay and give the order bonus to everyone on the team. Imagine someone pops an antimech order. The result of the order would be equally distributed to the whole team...so instead of focussing on my own little match where only I exist and my teammates are just bots, I now have an incentive to protect my ground attack planes as the more damage they do, the more SL the whole team will get.

OK, this wouldn't work in ground RB, and would have to be adapted on the mode, but just some ideas on how to make orders actually useful...

Also, if you could bring back the old EC for air RB, that would be great.

Blind hunt in air RB is the most useful order there is. Some of the others might be useful in order to encourage your team to actually do something.
I actually wish I could delete most of them from my inventory. I would rather orders expire then boosters.

You can sometimes encourage allies to do things like shoot down aircraft in GRB by popping the anti aircraft order. Though it’s often best to spawn AA yourself as you pop the order so you can immediately start gaining points. I typically just pop them to give others SL as I don’t really need it myself.

Thank you. I mostly play tanks so i would use the Antimech the most i guess
