Solo capturing first objective in domination: AITA?

Was it the closest cap circle?

If so, then it was deserved IMO

If your vehicle is so fast, then go for the middle cap, or secure other advantageous positions.

By hogging the closest cap all for yourself you deny a good deal of SP from your teammates, which otherwise could have helped them respawn more later in the game.

All this really does is put a light tank without any support. Making them a free kill.

Not really, the middle cap zone is easily reached by Sdkfz 234 Puma on most maps. Chances are you’ll be there first, and finish the cap before getting engaged.

You lost me on this one, if your so bad that you have to capture a point to be able to respawn, then you probably should get better (not speaking about you in specific), if your good enough to get a few kills, and a cap, then you can respawn, as the game was intended.

Yep, on Eastern Poland, with horizontal caps, were easy to get to and in the middle, killed a puma with the ASU-57 on first spawn, so this is correct.

Agreed.

Maybe, maybe not.

It’s also possible they had a bad day, or whiffed their shot, etc. If I can help them get another chance, then I’m not opposed to it.

If you care about winning, then it is my opinion that this increases your chances.

More teammates alive = better odds.

Tone deaf much?

Fair

Nah, you’re good… It’s a rush to the point, otherwise the enemy will take it.

How’d you even get chat though?

Coming from that spawn, B inside that mall has little to no protection from the other team. I’ve been blind-fire killed thru the cardboard walls in that place plenty of times. But I was supposed to run to B while the other team quickly captured their starting point and don’t worry about preventing the ticket bleed?

Also this was my very first game in the Puma, but I guess I don’t need to concern myself with getting points and upgrading the vehicle either…

I’m not sure. I selected his name to message him, and it let me.

ROFL… I had my mate PM me earlier and I was all ‘HOW!’ but they were offline by the time I did…

PM was never disabled, Just ingame chat.

I suppose that is better than last time.

they want points and get angry that others PTFO before them, capturing the second objective first gives the team a slight edge more than capturing the closest first but it’s safer and probably more valuable to the team to capture the first base and use artillery on the enemies objective before moving to the second base (which if you play something really fast like fox or wolfpack you’re going to get there before anyone else either way)

going to the middle cap doesnt give much more advantage for those few seconds for a lot more risk

Rushing to the cap alone is a bit of a selfish move but it’s always better to prioritize securing the point above giving SP/RP to other players. And unlike pushing someone into enemy fire or artying your own team like an absolute sawdust donut, it’s not against the rules.

the “greediness” of capturing before anyone gets there benefits the team in the long run, a win will give more RP through bonus than if you get an extra capture and lose

This game is free for all at this point, that’s how much the community is degraded. As for your post, you are both no better, if you waited to cap you give your whole team a bigger advantage in the form of SP
