I can actually explain the logic and tactics to you because it seems to go over everybody's head. Please have a seat.
We land at rebel boat. He can fly away. There are multiple landing entry points on rebel boat. A landed ghawk has 0 for fov control when landed on the landing pad. Landing on that would have been easy. Go top or backside and push on foot and then it becomes a 2v2 ground fight. It's competely even in terms of vehciles as the ghawk guns are no longer part of the equation.
With a ghawk in play being risked, their next logical step would be simple... get in the Ghawk and fly away. Even if they thought they could win the fight, it would be incredibly stupid to risk it when they have so much to lose and such an easy exit. Which is why team B, @ Wilhelm , was getting into position, FROM WHERE HE ORIGINALLY ENGAGED THEM, while actively in persuit, to cut off their escape. A taking off air vehicle is at high risk to titan even with flares. It's like their second most vulnerable position.
So there are five ways this could have played out.
1. Caloom takes off and gets titaned, and loses the ghawk.
2. They stay and fight the ground battle and lose, and subsequently lose the ghawk.
3. They stay and fight the ground battle and win, and escape to a different store point after 5 mins.
4. Caloom takes off and dodged the titan rounds and escapes.
5. He just says fuck it and combat stores it and resets the entire situation. Apparently pulls it back out one minute later, mentions he's done it in the dispute 4 minutes later.
This leads to him fully commanding the ground at rebel boat, able to be in a positon with a titan to doom any approaching aircraft from any angle with a titan.
Gives time for backup to arrive.
Can camp ladders as well, ensuring absolute nobody can land on you until it's time to store.
They changed the entire conditions of combat from unequal to completely favorable by combat storing.
And I challenge you this @ Grandma Gary ... if that even is your real name.... put @ CaloomClark and whatever douchebag he was rolling with on rebel boat on one side, and me and @ Eskimoboy on the the other for a 2v2. If we win, @ Wilhelm gets the fucking ghawk. If they win, then he has to take off in it, as he would have originally, and if @ Wilhelm can titan him down, he obviously loses it as it's gone that way.
If they can beat both of these conditions, they should keep it. If not, the situation was handled unfairly.
