APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel

Give me your Sentinel tips, tricks and usage scenarios.

Also any details on how it actually works would be appreciated (coverage radius, 'reload' speed, what it can and can't shootdown).

So far I'm pretty unimpressed.  Not sure if I'm just using it incorrectly or if it just sucks. 

The only time I can anticipate incoming explosives is when I see a heli lining up a strafing run.  But even then each Sentinel MIGHT shoot down ONE of the rockets.

  • @AngrySquid270 I'd be interested in this too. I find it extremely inconsistent. I've tried placing it in various positions relative to a vehicle I'm in or a camping team mate's vehicle and most projectiles seem to be completely unaffected by it.

    @AngrySquid270 @SlipperyLiz4rd you probably will be interested in that video at first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXUxvNp7fGc

    Mind DICE claimed to make trophy system more consistent since then. As for tips - it shines on breakthrough. 

    As for tips I'll just copy my list from another thread.

    As for grind choke point I would suggest Kaleidoscope breakthrough any objective inside the building. Either attack or defence, just put it near the entrance (but a little to the side so it won't be destroyed too fast.
    Hourglass C point (in that building with the staircase). Then the latest sector just defend the building putting 2 somewhere near the entrance.
    Orbital in the corridors and the tunnel area are both amazing places.
    Discarded on C point (both entrances) should also get you a fair amount of projectiles.
    Manifest on A points on ships just put it either on front and back of the ship or just in the middle of the objective.
    Renewal - IDK, the map is too open for that. Maybe B point is worth to try if you are defending. As attacker just put 2 in front of camping transport (or sit in that transport) and bait enemies to launch rockets at you. And then D point inside the buildings (especially the very entrance) for both sides.

    AMA since I finished that long time ago. On 128 though so gl with that now but I still suggest breakthrough for Irish T1. 

  • @AngrySquid270 A relative save way to farm sentinel points is using vehicles and placing 2 sentinels slightly left and right infront of the vehicle, you will get attention from Air and AT rockets.

    But on CQ irish sucks becouse the enemy team is everywhere and it is more luckbased if you destroy explosives.

    In Breakthrough the enemy team will focus a more tighter space, for example you can place an sentinel at the frontline where most teammates assemble, sensorballs, sundance grenades and all other sort of grenade will come into that direction.

    I played irish for so long and in my opinion the most effective way to farm was playing attacker side on BT 128 at the frontlines, especialy the A flag on discardet and the whole manifest map.
