Bandar Desert

Superiority Flag

In this chaotic game mode the flag is located in the middle of the desert, between the artillery base and the gas station. The US team deploys from the mountain village to the north while the RU team deploys from the mountain outpost to the south. As in all Tank Superiority matches both teams have access to two tanks and six tank destroyers at all times. While the desert looks flat from the air, upon closer inspection there are several sand dunes. These dunes limit visibility, particularly along the northern and southern sides of the flag. As a result, hiding your tank or tank destroyer behind a dune is a great way to ambush enemy vehicles making a move for the flag. Sight lines on the east and west sides of the flag are relatively open, allowing for longer range engagements. Hitting moving targets at this range can be difficult, so consider choosing the guided shell option for a little extra targeting assistance. Recon soldiers equipped with SOFLAMs can also assist by laser-designating targets. The artillery base to the west is a good spot for infantry to take cover and participate in the battle, whether designating targets with a SOFLAM or firing Javelins. The rocks on the west side of the gas station also provide decent cover and concealment for infantry. But if you’re on foot, avoid the no-man’s land around the flag. The flag is best captured and contested by armored vehicles. Once it’s captured, vehicles should retreat to the perimeter and defend from a reasonable distance. A carefully coordinated team can even form an impenetrable line of armor on the north or south side of the flag to prevent breakthroughs by the opposing team—but always watch for flanking maneuvers.
