advice for attacking in Conquest

[Ghoul Thing One]

anyone got any pointers for assaults? I have hell of a time capturing and holding points, and with a larger army I run into an issue of being able to manage all of them

Thinking I might need to take far more advantage of my engineers and setup Toes and machine guns, a big problem I keep having is enemy forces managing to sneak behind and take and kill defenders, forcing the VP clock to not slow down (assuming thats how it works)

In vanilla? Im not entirely sure how you attack. I definitely do abuse the hell out of my engineers, leap frogging forward behind sandbag walls is the only way you can even begin to attack. Cover on the map is horribly limited and gets destroyed. Other thing you can do is bring vehicles with autocannons to remove all the enemy's cover on the cap points.

The VP clock does slow down based on how many control points you have. If you wanted to stay on a map and farm XP, you could just neutralize all the points to neutral and kill the enemies until they quit spawning.

the mode is a meme

the enemy have infinite reinforcements, the moment you take out a vehicle. its instantly replaced.

Yeah, that's one of the things that i find quite annoying on this mode, the enemy should have the same limitations that we do.

I ALWAYS bring a vehicle, they are vital for clearing infantry, by the mid game, even my cheapest call in groups has a T-72B with them, i've found them to be the best vehicle on this mode, sure they are limited and weaker then other MBTs, but it can still pack one hell of a punch, and its cheaper then the other alternatives.

just get tanks out and direct control them. eventually you can just have seals as your infantry backed up by snipers along with several tanks. then you just attack each control point one by one just rush in with the tank and use the 50cal to wipe out the infantry defending it and move your own troops in

Yeah, If you can make it to get Air strikes and tanks, just basically line up tanks, hammer the post for awhile, then once its pretty well clear, roll a 10 pack of infantry in with your tanks close behind and take it. Though vanilla, you dont have much time to really ♥♥♥♥ around with setting up defenses in the posts you take.
