    Do people in higher divisions lob mortars, hit repair pulse, or shoot explosive shots before even seeing the enemy? To me, this just lets the other team know where you are sooner. Like sending up a signal flare. Not necessarily the best strategy. No complaints, just curious. Also, why do people have a hard time spelling Loser?

    It's actually smart to lay down napalm and mines before you see the enemy so you can gain map advantage. And repair boxes are always good to lay out beforehand, as you never know when a big torp might hit. The other stuff is eh, there's a chance of hitting.

    Some people shoot bullets to confuse the enemy or hoping for lucky shot :3

    idk what you count as higher division, but im in ace league, and yes we do.
    Often times use a repair pulse at the start just so everyone knows a fixer is on the team, definitely helps notify speeders.
    And napalms and mines are always good to lay out at the beginning, as well as sending out torps...
    as for shots being fired and such, doesnt happen as much i suppose.

    I am perpetually stuck in warrior division, but really working on strategy. I can see why torps, mines, and napalm need to be laid down first (I've been hit by enough lucky shots). The repair pulse is suprising tho, and a good idea. I try to play kinda ninja, and many times an unfriend mortar shot or repair pulse clues me in to where the enemy is before they are officially sighted. Gives me a tiny advantage if I can actually get behind the unfriend.

    Positioning won't matter early in the game as everyone in higher leagues are already familiar with the starting point of map.

    It can also be used as decoy for your position.

    Ive been in battles where a player has died in less than 30secs into the game. We have not even seen each other in the map. A Speeder named "why me?"(I know funny coincidence) got hit by a legendary big torp and insta killed.

    On the other side I have often thrown a repair box off to the side and then wait to see where the Torps and mortars come from to find out where the unfriendliness are. Not so much a signal flare but decoy
