[MOH] Support activity help

[Redgum]

Im ranking up my special ops dude and no matter how often I press the '6' key and no matter how long the score chain (?) is I cant seem to call in artillery or air strikes or strafe runs. All I seem to be able to do is hand out ammo, UAVs and the odd flack jacket.

What are the requirements to launch the heavy hitters? Am I using up my gos by handing out ammo?

6 = support activity

5 = mortar strike, rocket strike etc

took a game or two to figure that out

specs ops do what in support .... i have had mortar , rockets and missile at most i think i didn't even know the 6 key did anything ...

[unsub]

not just spec ops, any loadout, key chain 6 = support action, 5 = assault action.
Support actions are fmj, flak vests etc for the team. Assault actions are the mortars an stuff.

UAV is so helpful. What I like about the killstreaks in this is that they are similar feeling to the first mordern warfare, which to date is still my favorite of all MP FPS. What I've found with the killstreaks though is it can leave you very OP if you get lucky. Like the time when I was sitting right next to the spawn point of the enemy can kept bombing the crap out of them. I ended up getting the final killstreak on that map. My K/D was like 43/3.... yeah a little over powered.

I still cant work out what buttons do what. When I see the screen flashing I push 5 to send in the morters etc. I have no idea how to do flack vest etc.

Okay I went looking here it is buttons 5 & 6 offensive / defensive are the keys you need to press when you have qualified for a support action

Support Actions are rewarded for attaining a threshold of points in a Score Chains. There are two types, offensive and defensive, and are either passive or non-passive. Generally speaking, the defensive options tend to be more team-friendly than the offensive option, last longer, and, for the most part, affect all the players on the team. On the other hand, the offensive options are generally area of effect, only having an affect on one area for a very limited amount of time. However, in cases where there is a vehicle involved, such as the M3A3 Bradley, or where there are embedded enemies, it may be more worth the points to use an offensive action.
Defensive

Defensive Support actions are designed to give the player (and temamates) an edge in normal combat, and as such will commonly be used by players trying to achive higher score chains without the risk of wasting a support action.

• FMJ Ammo - Grants the player's team ammunition designed to pierce light cover easily, as well as body armour. 1.50x damage multiplier.
• Jammer - Launches a jammer that renders the enemy team's minimap blind. NOTE: Launching a UAV when jammed will not overule the jamming.
• Sabot Rounds - Grants the player's team special armour-piercing rounds that easily punch through enemy body armour. 2x damage multiplier.
• Ballistic Vests - Grants the player's team special protective vests that provide huge levels of protection compared to normal body armour. 0.50x damage taken.
