Hey, I found a good strategy on Battlefront 1.

On Bespin: Platforms, there is a good sniping/anti-air support spot at the middle command post (the extractor, I think it is called) that is hardly ever used by AI (that's because they are too stupid to go up there). It is that large ring connected to the roof (just walk up one of the ramps to get to the ring). The good thing is that you have a wide view of the place (which can be helpful for snipers, because they can snipe anyone from a very far distance even on landing platforms or AA turrets) (heavy weapon units because they can lock onto enemy craft easily if they are close enough, and I was able to blow up a TIE Bomber from there), but the drawbacks are that if you run out of ammo, you have to run all the way back to the ammunition droid on the mail level of the platform (unless there is a pilot up there who can give you ammo and run back to the AD to refill the supply despenser and return to you while sniping/shooting rockets at ships), you are an easy target (you can still be seen or a ship crashes into you), you have to run a long distance to snipe other platforms, and you have to watch where you step when running even though it is large (I accidentally stepped off once).

This tactic can be useful, even if you are playing the normal losing side for this map (the Empire is usually the losing side for me).

What do you think?
