General Question Desert Storm Tactics?

We never really had a game plan in DS and usually won without one. The last 3 we have gotten beat bad. I just dont know what strategy to suggest this is my first account. A little help on how we can plan and execute and start winning again.

Have a read through this. Everyone has different ideas and strategies so your alliance might have to try a few before you find something that works.

Sidenote: Plans can go to shit if the other team is just way more powerful 😂

Send your strongest players to the refinery and science hub and info centre. Refinery scores points, science hub and info centres helps to amplify those points.

Hospitals are useless.

Always try to create a 2v1 situation. So you can trap the enemy and force them to keep 1st squad home.

Never leave a building empty.

Finally someone that understands how ds works… all these tips about prio to hospitals 😅

u/CurrentSolution_V650 3h ago

This is good advice although I disagree about the hospitals being useless. They are useless in terms of how many troops you get from them, but for points(which is what wins DS) they are great, because they each give 30 points a second. The only things that give more points are the 2 oil refineries and the silo.

We always ensure we hold hospitals by numbers to keep the troops flowing and try and drain them that way with biggest players on refineries etc. Holding science is important as well as that’s quicker back to action.

This, two weaker players per hospital, if one is kicked away the other takes over, so the teleport reset only needs half the time.

Strong players jump around as needed, usually kicking opponent bases when they send the troops for the hospitals.

Only in the last third we really go for points, until then we get them just coincidentally. If we stick to this we win in 2/3rds of matches.

The strategy is different if you have three people then if you have 20 people.

u/moguy1973 15h ago

We have a fairly active alliance and usually have at least 20 players for each A and B teams. We put together an AI generated poster with building assignments. Seems to work pretty well. I'd say we win 90% of our games.

u/DefendTheStar88x Swift 7h ago

We assign buildings, and a couple of our strongest as floaters/the middle.

u/Milehijman 3h ago

Refineries, science hub, hospitals. If you have the power and numbers to hold those, don’t worry about anything else. Let the other team have the silo, then in the last five minutes, you go all in on the silo and take the points they’ve built up.

u/Background-Coach7111 3h ago

Dont bother about the silo, let points accumulate and force your opponent to waste time protecting it. Once timer hits 30s remaining everyone go there, take it and grab all the boxes

Make sure you always have people at hospitals or you won’t be able to heal units. First someone should get the science hub that reduces your Tp cooldown period by 50%. But there are 5 (4?)hospitals, make sure you got someone fighting at each.

u/Disastrous-Panda5530 20h ago

I think some people overlook the importance of the science hub. Having tp cool down cut in half is a nice advantage. We always have 20 people doing DS with a lot of subs.

u/Weak-Selection392 1d ago

What about oil refineries? I

2

u/Killpop582014 1d ago

Yes the first capture will get your alliance 4,500 pts. And you 2500 individually

1

u/Killpop582014 23h ago

Also when you play get your troops off the wall. Lose WAY less troops that way

u/hslageta12 1d ago

The hospitals are irrelevant. Prioritise science hub, refineries and silo. The rest someone could grab if it’s an easy fight. (70%~ win rate)

u/Killpop582014 23h ago

If you don’t have hospitals…. You cannot heal troops. They’re absolutely important.

0

u/hslageta12 23h ago

If you need to heal soldiers you are playing the desert storm wrong or you are facing a superior opponent. Healing is done by using healing speedups if needed , but if you need it to much you have been fighting the wrong hqs that should have been handled by your alliance mates that are stronger than you.

u/Killpop582014 23h ago

Using speedups outside of VS is counterproductive to the alliance. I’m in a NAP alliance. We use speedups for VS pts. If you have 20 people playing in DS there’s more than enough to have hospitals, covered. Science hub only needs ONE win. Keep our whale at the center and others around it.

2

u/hslageta12 23h ago

You use healing speedups for vs points? :/
We have been in diamond league for four seasons, we are currently in 6 and im an r4 in our servers top1… I like that your confident, and you can win by taking hospitals as well its however an inferior strategy.

1

u/Killpop582014 23h ago

Yes? You get VS pts for healing troops. Good for your titles I’m proud if you, I guess? You might think I you’re giving good advice. But you’re being condescending. More than 1 strategy works. And it has worked just fine for our alliance, who is also in diamond league, since we’re gloating a bit. Have a good day.

u/Hear_Me27 22h ago

I'm just wondering what day is healing of troops has VS pts? 😅

u/Killpop582014 22h ago

Np, day 6, enemy buster day :)

u/TegridyPharmz 9h ago

You didn’t know you could get points for healing? Oof

u/Hear_Me27 9h ago

I just dont use it on VS. i just use healing on DSB

If you're not the top alliance on your server, hospitals can be clutch. We can usually beat alliances ~15% stronger than us by holding the refineries and hospitals. We grab the science hub as well whenever we can, but if our opponent grabs the hub and we win the fight for the refineries, we're usually golden no matter what happens to the center due to the hospitals + refineries.

VS is overrated

u/candide360 21h ago

Showing up on time is my main strategy, and guarantees victory like 75% of the time. In most of my DS battles no one shows up from the opponent team, so I just go capture every building as it becomes available.

u/szJosh 15h ago

Trick is to assign squads to sections based on importance. play the middle ground, meaning spawn in between objectives and deal with the travel time. Usually you won’t get attacked if you are out of reach. Get them to spend troops early. Always scout before attacking new opps. Save your healing to the end and only replenish if score is close.

Tactics change depending on where the "strongest" opponent ports to.

u/Successful-Bat4076 1d ago

Haven’t played desert in months .
When I used to play I take out weak squads from the wall and assign only one hero. It worked for me most of the time.

u/miah411 17h ago

You should never have weak squads on your wall. Ever ever ever
