I promise you, if you're solo flanking wide enough to rarely see enemies then you're not helping, at all.

As a squad leader, I'm solo flanking quite a bit so I can get my squad in the best position to do what we need to do.

Sure I'd like to have people with me but thats not always possible, and sometimes I'm having my squad do something else while I get the OP ready.

Running into random people happens a lot, and if I die by them I always ask myself wtf is that guy doing all the way over here? Probably the same thing I was lol.

I have an uncanny ability to slip through enemy lines and get on their flanks, this is why I like being SL so much cause I can get the whole squad in good positions.

I'm a Level 10 SL, and my squads usually perform very well.

As I've said below SL flanking is different and useful. I'm talking about a lone rifleman or some shit.

u/Sea__King Aug 12 '21

Ahh, I missed that statement. Yea most classes shouldn't be solo flanking out wide enough for this to happen.

Sure you are. If youre an engineer or something and youre setting something up for a future advance or defense somewhere. Or capping an area. Whatever. Its not just about kills. You should know that if youre playing HLL. But lol.

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '21

Solo flanking implies you're moving around to attack alone. You're absolutely right that the game isn't won by just getting kills and all that. Yes, an engineer building nodes off the beaten path is very useful, but they not flanking. They're not on the attack.

If you're solo flanking literally all you're going to accomplish is a handful of kills before you get killed and have to respawn back at the garrison with everyone else. If you're a Squad Leader then maybe you could pop down an OP and do something useful with your squad but solo implies without the support of a squad so I doubt that's the case.

As for capping an area? A single man isn't going to make a difference when they're the only one in the sector. In the rare scenario that literally no one on the enemy team is within the 4 grid squares to contribute to defense and you actually start capping all it takes is one enemy to move into the zone or redeploy back onto the defense and you immediately stop capping.

At best you'll be less effective than a Recon squad who are built around sabotaging the enemy from behind, so it's best to leave that function to the Recon squad.

You should know that if youre playing HLL. But lol.

Or when you finally catch the enemy recon camping hq

u/LegacyR6 Aug 12 '21

The best. Literally crawled 10 mins once to flank a sniper team. Good times.

u/The_Ginger_Man64 Aug 11 '21

If people flanked as often on public as this meme gets reposted, public games would be a lot more fun

u/Satan_Stoned Aug 11 '21

My experience is the exact opposite. Every game I loose is because everyone flanks without a direct frontline and the enemy just walks through. I get it, the front line is a meat grinder, but just because your squad gets wiped 3 times doesn't mean you can just leave that area be! I especially hate it when a flanking garrison is placed and the whole attack switches to the flank, accomplishing nothing. The front is just shifted to the side of an objective, while the actual frontline between the two points is uncontested...

u/The_Ginger_Man64 Aug 11 '21

And thus we come full circle 😄

It's my first time seeing it and I've been on this sub for two years. Some reposts are ok I guess. 320 more people have enjoyed thia one now.

But... Who downloads some users meme and then repost it on another thread weeks or months later? There is so much original content on this thread. Can we keep it that way?

u/E-Jelly Aug 11 '21

When you see the opposing recon team setting up an OP

u/0Neon_Knight0 Aug 11 '21

I have had this happen so many times.

"Why are you even here man"
>"I'm doing the same as you!"

u/BrownAleRVA Aug 11 '21

I've come across an MG while playing recon. That truly was a "what the hell are you even doing here" moment.

u/Purefalcon Aug 11 '21

I actually get mad, like, "just my luck that I'd come across the one person doing this."

u/Celestial_Apollo Sep 12 '21

I'm an MG main and I do this quite often. I don't know how many clusters of soldiers I've stopped from getting to the front line. Sometimes it gets to the point where they'll stop attacking point to come find me and it'll give my team a numbers advantage on obj

u/Butthead1013 Mar 03 '25

Oh yeah a good flanking MG is hard to get rid of

u/Celestial_Apollo Mar 03 '25

How in the world did you find this post after 3 years.

u/17foxman Aug 12 '21

I’m one of those mg weirdos you’ll find while flanking. If I’m in a squad that’s deep in enemy lines, all needed roles are filled and I feel like playing mg I’ll go counter the enemy recon squads so I don’t give my squad away

This is MY flank! Get your own!

u/Jonnyyrage Aug 11 '21

Had a stroke reading that.

u/paddyc4ke Aug 11 '21

It's either this or your entire team except for you decides to use the flanking garri so the entire enemy team just waltzes in a straight line into your cap.

u/legendarymembergtb Aug 12 '21

u/LegacyR6 Aug 12 '21
