Guides / All-Call #1

« on: July 10, 2014, 07:03:06 pm »

Guns of Icarus is a hard game. It takes teamwork, motivation and a clear understanding of game mechanics. However, one can run into the problem of receiving this training. Though there are streams, forums and YouTube videos, nothing beats one-on-one training with people who understand the game and play it competitively. This is why we made All-Call. All-Call is a group of experienced players who feel that they can pass on some decent knowledge to people who would like to progress further in the game. The only requirements for this event is the participant must have teamspeak (which is free.) We will be covering multiple jobs, from supporting pilot to buffgineer. If you feel, no matter your rank, that you could use help in a certain, or all areas, come join us Saturday, July 12 at 1030 PM EST. For teamspeak server and other information, you may message me at gkconnor91@gmail.com or find anyone from the Sacrilege clan in-game. If you are an experienced player and feel you could bring some good information, feel free to contact me as well. All-Call will be streamed via twitch and the stream will be cached so that you may look back on it for any reviews.

Guides / Being the mortar gunner aboard a metamidion

« on: June 06, 2014, 05:42:22 am »

Here are some pro-skills for being an amazing mortar gunner.

1. Don't fire mortar before gat, unless your captain asks you too. The best way to utilize mortar is when hull armor is down.
2.If your captain asks you to fire the mortar with gat, try to aim at guns/engine. These are brought down very quickly by the mortar.
3.The only rounds you should be taking are greased, lesmock or burst. In my opinion, greased is the best, and really the only one you should use aboard a metamidion, however, its all up to your captain. If its not one of those three though, you should really inquire about why that is.
4.Assuming your mortar is on the left, as it should be, bring chem. As a mortarist, you are also in charge of the balloon. Chem is the best way to prevent your balloon from catching on fire, as the time it takes you to empty your mortar magazine, is roughly the same time as your chem lifespan.
5.Lead your shots. Mortar rounds are heavy and slow, so they will drop. Remember to compensate.
6.DON'T WANDER AWAY FROM YOUR MORTAR. When the hull goes down on the enemy ship,you only have a short window to spam your mortars out. Dont be that guy.
7.Keep your gun reloaded at all times. Youre going to need every last one of those mortars. If you kill the enemy before the magazine is depleted, reload anyway. You'll need it.

I hope that this has helped some of you. The gat mortar combination is the backbone of the metamidion. Being a good mortar gunner, will equal mucho wins. Its also a good selling point for anyone that's trying to join a competitive clan! Happy gunning!
