The real utility of the spooky gunship is to tilt the VC. The longer the VC commander does not call in anti air, the more the cohesion of the team falls apart and their morale ruined. Even if the enemy commander is a genius that uses AA to counter Napalm, you’ll still get salt on the enemy team if they don’t have Aa To counter spooky
In fact you can cheat vc commander for AA using spooky, call spooky once then cancel immediately, that iconic sound may lure VC commander to use his precious AA and you can use recon plane to check if there is an AA online just seconds later and see whether VC commander fell for this (pretty much the only use of recon plane), the cool down for spooky after you canceling it is only 1 min while the cool down for AA is 3 mins so you can basically have a whole glorious minute of spooky raining down bullets to those VCs
yeah that is true, I didn't include this in the video primarily on RMG the commanders are all experienced with thousands of hours so they never fall for a fake spook
The Phantom strikes reminds me the first time I spawned in this game. I was spawning on a tunnel and the first thing I saw was the canisters approaching.
In our russian servers VC ambush is ultimate, on Saigon C point is under the VC control after 5 seconds, because commander rushing it with radio(I was radioman once). VC ambush is A at least I think. And of course one of the best abilities is to convince someone to become a radioman
Southern commander basically has a pseudo ambush if two of your best squad leaders are radio men. Have them spawn on you first then force deploy people that way you get ~2 squads worth of men on you.
The spooky can avoid being countered if you cancel as soon as you call it in. In theory and in general, a Northern commander calls in AA as soon as they hear the spooky coming in, so if you cancel it, it will go away before AA comes up. The spooky will then have I believe a 1-2 minute cooldown and can be called in again. You’re essentially baiting the enemy AA and allowing the spooky to do work. Spooky can be A-S tier
How to properly use Spook 66: -Bait AA with recon -wait 1-2mins -Spooky Alternativly if you dont want to use a timer: -Bait AA with recon -Sacrifce Napalm -Spooky
best ambush moment I've seen was one time where the enemy commander called in an ambush right in front of my teammate who had a flamethrower... he had a great game. Worst was when an ambush was called next to me and it was my first time playing Marksman, I did not have a great game
Someone once did a bullshit role kick on me when my napalm kill like 4 people that move right into the napalm zone. The napalm killed about 3-4 times as much Charlies. The funny part is i am an Admin on that server, and it says exactly who initiated the vote kick. I can imagine his fear when he found that out i was an Admin, because he left and i couldn’t get his ID.
Some things: Anytime in the mid or late war that the VC shoot down your recon, tell them “thanks,” wait the minute or so that you need, and then call in spooky on the spot you need. They won’t be able to shoot down the spooky and will be decimated. Usually you see the map anyway before it gets shot down so it doesn’t matter, free real estate. HOWEVER, if it’s early war, ALWAYS shoot down recon. There’s no spooky, so it’s vital to preventing a good napalm strike from happening.
Really depends on the enemy commander but sometimes I find it best to call in anti air at the end of the spy plane run because some US commanders like to wait out the end of the spy plane’s flight before dropping napalm
A good start I use for the spooky is I call it, wait till I hear the engines and then immediately (or after a few seconds, depends on the day) cancel it so they use their aa up, then after 45 seconds I call in a recon plane to check to see if their as is active or not
ARVN arty is definitely the worst, but it's not nearly as bad as many people make it out to be. The individual mortar rounds have smaller explosions than the US arty, but the barrage still covers a pretty wide area. Plus, the mortar rounds come in quicker and I'm pretty sure it lasts a bit longer, so it's arguably better for area denial. As a bonus, it's also usually easier to use the mortars offensively, especially since a lot of squad leaders have the habit of plopping marks right on top of the objective. With US or commie arty you'd be risking a lot of friendly fire, but it's safer for ARVN to push an objective under mortar fire. The ARVN commander's score is more or less carried by napalm and spookies, though.
Ambush is really good only if you and radioman managed to sneak into points and blast it. Also to mentioned that Australia abilities are really good since you can manages where your canberra/Phantom land the bombs/Napalms at. American and South Vietnam can't for some reason....
gonna be honest, there have been times where the canberra bomber just didn't kill me, also napalm lingers for a little while and you can pick up some extra kills
I never want to play commander because everyone blames their teams/ their personal failures on the commander. Half the time I don't even wanna be SL because of this stuff. There's only so much a commander can do without good teamwork.
The devs don’t care about this game anymore. I once ambushed on the second floor of the rubber factory on chuchi I believe. Right after the napalm, I ambushed depolyed and every burned in front of me. I wasn’t on fire 🔥. But everyone else was 💁🏽♂️💩
If u haven't been booted out of the commander's role, you haven't played commander enough haha. Some men, you just can't reach. If my efforts go unappreciated, I usually just go grunt.
I got kicked for Toxic Behavior yesterday because I told the SLs to put up their damn tunnels.
The ambush deploy is the goat. I love when the enemy team calls in nap and I just spawn the whole team back in.
Then half of the team immediately dies cuz they spawn in the napalm ; - ;

yeah exactly, hearing the gun firing can be a lil....spooky
would try to counter napal with another stuff that, if you dont tuch spooky or try to fake it

Spooky cooldown for canceling is absolutely not 1 minute. Thats based off of the map and Isn’t a constant thing.

Imo faking 2-3 spookies is worth to have one full time. Especially on danger close mark since it can shoot through walls.

only played campaign twice, didnt realise you were limited on commander abilities...dang

@@CantoniaCustoms agreed. I’ve lost so many napalm strikes that way as a southern commander
Oh hell yeah a Tantwo RS2 video right after I get out of the shower!
btw keep up the great videos I love em
Glad you like them!
Amazing, now do an SMG tier list.
Eventually
@@Tantwo if k50 is less than S tier I unsub 😉

If you playing on RMG and see Ken Gunney as VC TL you know there's gonna be some tidy ambushes
cosmetics tier list when?
I don't actually own any of them but might be worth a video lol
#1 is all the facial hairs
For me rapid deployment would a S tier since its the win button most of time when capping objectives

When I’m commander I’m really good I got over 90 kills once just playing commander

@@toxicmlnk4843 about 70 a couple of time but it's very rare, or maybe is that with the green bois?

@@toxicmlnk4843 I meant that I don't realy know how much the US cmder is better on kills than the vc one
I'm pretty sure the only downside to the scouts are that you have to stay with your radio for it to work.
You put napalm in s tier but not canberra?
gonna be honest, there have been times where the canberra bomber just didn't kill me, also napalm lingers for a little while and you can pick up some extra kills
I saw spooky as an anti air bait for ez napalm

i agree
lmao I thought you're gonna make a tier list of best commander players in the game. Also, best players for each class.
If i wan't to insult you i'm not gonna say coconuthead, but i'm gonna say kangarohead.
thanks for the compliment!
My favourite abilities
-Canberra Bomber
-Napalm
- VC arty
The devs don’t care about this game anymore. I once ambushed on the second floor of the rubber factory on chuchi I believe. Right after the napalm, I ambushed depolyed and every burned in front of me. I wasn’t on fire 🔥. But everyone else was 💁🏽♂️💩
offtt yeah I once got stuck in a loop, kept on spawning and instantly dying, happened about 5 times
Ambush obviously
I'm not a high enough level till be commander yet, must send more G.I's home.
Melbourne..... As an American I can attest we don't give a shit about pronunciation. We will always say it wrong lol
lol it's all good, but when people say "Can-Berra", instead of "Canbruh" it just sounds so off imo
0:05 that's sad
I hope they will be give new faction seems like,china,filipino and soviet union in rising storm 2 vietnam
If u haven't been booted out of the commander's role, you haven't played commander enough haha. Some men, you just can't reach. If my efforts go unappreciated, I usually just go grunt.
yeah exactly XD
Oh yeah well im going to say Canberra wrong in spite of you.
don't blame you
Grrrrrrrr
