Two Man Recon team! safe or stupid?

[istion]

again radio is everything. I was recce with real steel and we worked in three man teams... if we ever fired our guns we failed. Our whole job was communication. Find the enemy, report the enemy, and in case of attack return, brief the platoon or company, and lead them back in for the attack.

But this is airsoft... much less organized and controlled. but yes it could work... but there wepons are only for defense and to promote a escape.

Me and Coma were a two man team one game and wrecked havoc on the opposing team. We had one flank and slowly moved in, while the rest of our team had the enemy's front and opposite flank.

Basically, i like two man teams, but only if you trust the other person you're with to do the right thing at the right time without being told.

When i was with coma, an enemy approached us. i was worried that Coma would shoot and give away our position (it was my first game playing with him), but sure enough, he let him go by. and it wasn't until then that we killed him.

This was just a lucky example of two teamates who shared a similar thought pattern and knowledge on the type of tactics used.

if you want a two man team, you will have to find a partner like that.

This is why at our games we field in groups that always play together, just four groups of four but it works. Two teams that are able to operate is better than one against a bunch of wannabees and new blood

Two man recon has worked for me for a while now

I mean you do have to be conscious of your role and to not be stupid. But two men can go where 4 cannnot

And 2 mens need 4 mens so they come back.

it is pretty sweet when u have ninjas on your team that never die. when they get behind enemy lines it's great

Logically 2 men need more. I am not advocating a 2 man combat team, I just prefer to operate with a good teammate observing and reporting. I know when to run (believe me, they beat that into you)

I recently ran a 5-8 man recon team to flank and attack the opposing respawn, worked well until we were seen by a guy going into the woods to take a piss who was lit up by the six guns pointed at him, our sniper ran away and piss boy called us out when he respawned, all but one of us died, but we all got at least 3 kills, and the last guy living got about 10 knife kills on the way back to our respawn

Chuck Norris must've been playing...

Any team should be DET's of Four. 16 players on a side, 4 DETs.

if you go 2 in, and one's down, than last man is fuxorzed.

Remind me of 1 is none, 2 is one.
That is so true.

Nah, they just thought he was on their team, even when he ran right past a guy, looked at him and started taking to him thinking that they were on the same team, realized that he was on the other team, knife killed him, the ran off to get three more knife kills 20' away from another unsuspecting enemy, one of the other guys said after the game that he had seen the flood of dead running back to respawn

That's not a recon, that's a flanking assault

A recon is where you go and RECON something, typically without engaging
If your objective is to attack something, chances are your in an assault team lol

Anyway I find the 2 man recon team is most effective. Much less noise than 3 people, significantly more awareness than one guy, and if they know what they're doing they can back off from any single sided engagement safely by using fire movement.
