[Screenshot/Video] 5 Truck Coastal Convoy

[[TAW] GunRunner 53]

 

We jumped on our home server as soon as it restarted and gathered all the trucks. We moved to the coast and had an armed escort of 20 guys run along side. Sadly, our operation got cut short by an invisible hacker who was pulling the gear off of our scout teams and then killing them but it was still a blast.

 

Very well organized group operation by our TAW.net brethren, and we will be doing it again soon.

 

EDIT: One of our guys uploaded some of the gameplay. This is the beginning of the op. Sadly, we didn't make it much further than what the end of the video showed as our sniper team in the town up ahead came in contact with the hacker. :(

I've seen a few others on reddit, but none on here.

Updated the post with a video of the start of the op. If this kind of gameplay interests anybody you should definitely check us out. We do all different kinds of operations too, not just tactical ones like this.

This is going to sound like a total noob question, but how did you know where to find all 5 trucks in such a short amount of time.  Did you have team members spread out at all the different spawn points prior to server reboot?  2nd, I've found the trucks to be quite slow and un-driveable, particularly if you have to go through any hilly regions.  Am I doing something wrong, or do you guys experience that too but just push on through?  I've actually had people on foot out pacing me in a truck...

Use the shift key ("turbo") to boost speed and make sure that, just like a real truck, you take hills with a decent run up and already at speed - momentum is key. Trying to drive a truck uphill from a standing start is a painfully slow process...

Edit - OP, nice work, have some beanz. :-)

Exactly what he said for the driving part. Using the shift key does use 25% more fuel while holding it though, so I only use it to make sure I hit top speed before and during a hill climb.  And for HOW we got the trucks, pretty much exactly what you said. We had two guys checking the eastern spawns and about 6 more checking the western ones. Once we found one, we used it to find the next and so on. The eastern spawn points took the longest as those are spread far and thin, but we managed to get all 5 trucks about 30 minutes after restart.
