the title says it all... im talking about a big bunker with only little slits to shoot through

mabey a grenade or use a smoke grenade to cover your movement as you go around to the enterance and take the people inside out from there

i would definately say 'nade them.
or try to get a sniper or two to sit back a little way in cover and pick a few of the guys in the bunker off.

Never had to deal with this, but I've got some ideas.

1.) As stated above, pop some smoke to cover your movement and take the flank. If the team isn't communicating well, then they won't think to watch the entrances.

1a.) In the event the team in the bunker are communicating effectively, you can stack up at the door, toss in a frag, and then storm in and clean house.

2.) Overwhelm them. If the game has unlimited respawns for offense, coordinate your assaults and attack the bunker from multiple directions. There's a good chance they might panic or end up spreading their players too thin.

You could have a direct assault by a majority of your team while one or two people sneak around, but there's too much that could go wrong in this situation for it to be very effective.

Use math... Lots and lots of angles.
Get at them from multiple sides and while this is going on send 1 team to get up close and personal. When they're close enough have them either toss in a nade or fire more shots tehmselves.

When you don't have enough for lots of angles, use 1 squad to distract and another to get close and personal.

find the blind spots have tons of covering fire and move up with grenades. Or you could have one distraction force and send a small team throught the back door.

There are multiple ways that you can go about this, and each one is different than the next. However, there are only a few smart ways to go about this, and I am going to tell you of the one that has worked for me the most successfully. There are two different ways to do this particular maneuver, and I will do my best to explain each way. :)

Option One:

What You'll Need:
- Fragmentation Grenades
- Smoke Grenades
- Anywhere from 1 - 4 teams of men

To start off with, you're going to want to have your teams flank the bunker; draw their fire if you have to. I have done this most successfully with 1 team in front of the bunker, and 2 teams flanking around either side of it. Keep in mind, that this may take some time, but your teams need to move FAST before the enemy catches onto your plan.

You want your team(s) to get as close to the entrance(s), or target(s) of opportunity, as quickly, yet stealthily as possible; losing men on these squads will cripple the attack completely. This is where radios come in handy; hand signals probably will not work, because the smoke will obscure your vision, however, if all else fails, you can use the good old fashioned wind pipes! :D The teams do not have to be right at the entrance(s), but they need to be able to move in readily.

Now that your teams are into their position(s), you need to eliminate as many of the enemy force inside of the bunker, as you can, BEFORE you attack! This is where the fragmentation and smoke grenades come into play. You'll want to time this just right; you want to get the smoke grenades out, and just when the smoke starts to leave the grenade and spill into the air, toss your grenades in. Now, this might be hard if the only way to get them in is through "slits", so you may have to use the entrance(s) to toss them through. The bottom line, is once they are distracted by the smoke, hit them with the grenades. Once they are distracted by the grenades, they will panic. Once the grenades go off, move in, and clear the bunker. Voila!

Option Two:

What You'll Need:
- Snipers and Marksmen
- Support Gunners or a few people with a lot of mags
- Anywhere from 1 - 4 teams of men

In this method, you're more or less doing the same as in the previous method, without the help of any grenades, fragmentation, or smoke. Now, the concept is the same, so I will copy and paste the parts that I can, to save myself a tiny bit of time and effort. :p

To start off with, you're going to want to have your teams flank the bunker; draw their fire if you have to. I have done this most successfully with 1 team in front of the bunker, and 2 teams flanking around either side of it. Keep in mind, that this may take some time, but your teams need to move FAST before the enemy catches onto your plan.

You want your team(s) to get as close to the entrance(s), or target(s) of opportunity, as quickly, yet stealthily as possible; losing men on these squads will cripple the attack completely. This is where radios come in handy; hand signals probably will not work, because the smoke will obscure your vision, however, if all else fails, you can use the good old fashioned wind pipes! :D The teams do not have to be right at the entrance(s), but they need to be able to move in readily.

Once your teams are in position, you're going to need to distract the enemy, as much as possible, so that your teams can breach the entrance(s). This can be done a variety of different ways, but the easiest way is with your snipers or marksman, so that is where they will come in. This is also where your support gunners and people with a lot of mags will come into play, so have them ready to reign ammo onto the bunker. They will want to aim for the enemies view points; the "slits", the entrance(s), etc. Just get their heads down, and keep them down.

Have the gunners, snipers, and marksman open fire; have your teams know that they are to move in, once they hear all of these teammates firing at the target building. They need to breach the entrance(s) IMMEDIATELY and start clearing the building. Once they have breached the entrance(s), your distraction team (of support gunners, snipers, and marksman) needs to move in IMMEDIATELY! This will overwhelm the enemy, and swamp them with hordes of troops coming to clear them out.

This has never failed to work for me, though Option One has always been more effective, because of the aid of smoke and fragmentation grenades. Either way, as long as you plan, and execute this maneuver perfectly, you will have your target building secured in no time, with minimal friendly casualties. Go get 'em!

I hope that I have been of some help! :)

Once you (somehow?) get up against the business side of the bunker, press yourself between the slits and against the side. Then, take your gun, shove it in the slit and simply blindfire around. Much better than a nade, although some games don't allow blindfire. If all goes well, you'll hear a bunch of people calling themselves out over the drone of your gun.

I am my teams secret weapon. They feed me beans and avocado. Then they pour suppressing fire on the bunker and I run up. Placing my rear against the bunker window I pass gas, thus causing those inside to run out, neutralizing the bunker.

On a serious note, We lay heavy suppressing fire on hte bunker, and have our fast runner go up and toss in a frag.

It's better if u have 2-3 people with shotguns doing this..... pending on how many slits there are

Ya but I really don't reccomend carrying a shotty around all the time. For how little they come into use, they're just not worth luggin around. If only there were airsoft airstrikes...

hahahaha if only. but i agree with you lugging that around is no fun, i just ment if you know if theres going to be a bunker that allows for this on the field....... then it's worth it cuz they scream hahaha it's great.

get some bb bait and sneak around to the back and flank em

or might i suggest a meat shield JK :)
 
#18 ·
The important thing to remember is never be suppressed. Keep the violence of action (VofA) on your side. Stay low and find a way to outflank it. Then, either use your primary or a grenade to flush the enemy out and destroy them.

Without grenades of course.. Get cover fire (works wonders just try it, if their bunker is getting peppered they WILL NOT try to move out of it) and just flank.. Very simple and as long as you're not playing against people with good team level skills it'll work every time. Only reason its not what everyone does is because everyone needs to grow a pair.

Sneak up to it, the slits work both ways they will have reduced vision, alowing you to get close then breach and just spray the inside if you don't have a grenade, if you do have a grenade lay down on the ground with someone standing over you and someone across the doorway. Have them open up the door fully and both of the standing two fire while you silently toss a grenade in and yell a command your teammate who opened the door will shut it and wait for the sound
