Strategy in Planetside 2

How can you simply win the game using discounts in your unit's arsenal?

We're interested in three discounts at the Arsenal: "Mobile Armored Vehicles," "Light Aircraft," and "Heavy Aircraft."

Next, we look at a map of the continent:

Accordingly, as usual, we're being thrashed by two races: the Vanu (Purple) and the Terrans (Red). To win, we need to use discounts on armor to push back one race, like the Terrans, but not all the way to the warpgate, because then they'll start pushing back. And hold off the Vanu at our warpgate with discounts on tanks, light and heavy aircraft.

Right click on the map, minimap, or main map, it doesn't matter: 

Warpgate discount is maxed out at 1 hour; it can't be captured. Contested bases and those near them are discounted for 20 minutes. Because the bonus is removed when the base falls into enemy hands. 

So, with cheap tanks, you start snowballing the Terrans. And when the Vanguard reaches the warpgate, they'll be pushed back again by cheap tanks and aircraft. With discounts, you can decide where the front line will advance. It's crucial not to capture bases adjacent to the warpgate, as then the enemy will begin to focus on you and abandon the third race.

What are "Light Aircraft"?



What are "Heavy Aircraft"?


Support transport

Light armored vehicles

So, by discounting tanks and fighters at and near contested bases, as well as a full discount on the warpgate, you'll start to push back the other two factions and take away their territory, simply because you have cheaper tanks and fighters, and your allies can spawn them more often:

The main thing is to avoid contesting bases near the enemy warpgate, because both factions can focus you, stop attacking each other, and 100% defeat you. Then, winning is very difficult. And never give in to bases in the center; it's a constant battle there, with no progress. 


What is an orbital strike?

The unit's arsenal includes the ability to order an orbital strike for resources. It's a highly effective weapon against enemy infantry and armored vehicles, and it operates over an area. 


Right-click on the map to call in an orbital strike once it's deployed. Available to all Warrior-ranked members of our unit.

And of course, the sky can't be red or purple, only blue! o7 

Update

Half an hour before the continent closes, we control most of the territory:

And then, as usual, a rush begins from both factions:

But, with great difficulty, it is possible to hold all the bases and achieve victory on the continent:

And already on the next continent, regrouping is underway on the warpdrive:

And two other factions are focusing ours to finish what they didn't do on the previous continent:
