Can you elaborate?
I hate Phyrrus as engineer. It's so open with long sight lines that your turrets are more vulnerable, and your shotgun is less useful than on other maps.
For Phyrrus, it depends on the mode. Lets use capture and hold for this example.
I dont look @ the middle flag at all, my focus is on the flags on the sides. You have one near that big bridge and than you have the one thats right next to the buildings(all the shacks).
The one near the buildings/shacks, you can rack up a TON of kills as engineer there. Plant 2 turrets on the roof of the flag, where the broken machine gun turret is. Your turret will rack up kills inside the flag area as well as kills in that big open area.
Now the flag to the opposite, depending on what side your(isa/helghast) kinda dont matter, but place 2/3 turrest kinda behind the walls(you know how there are small walls you can hide behind). That way when people come up that bridge your turrets are just taking them out easily.
Now in search and defend, placing turrets on the same bridge is a life saver.
On the Helghast side, place turrets on the same bridge but not all the way on the bridge. As soon as you come out of your spawn head to the right towards the bridge, than you'll take a left to go down the hill but dont go down, place turrets so they face both the hill going down and the bridge. Place multiple turrets so they are more effective.
Body Count you'll kinda be useless. Turret placement has been very effective for me as helghast on that map. As ISA, I stay as tact/sniper but sometimes I use engineer and palce turrets on that bridge and on top of that building.(I RARELY ever go through the small bridges in the middle or the bridge on the right side of the ISA spawn, RARELY.
On Saluman, you really need to place turrets in higher areas. Either that or place them further back than usual. Like on Search & Destroy, I dont place them right near the target(when defending) but back towards the building to the left of the targets(building on left of target when you are on defense and standing behind target). Down that road. That way you pick off everyone down the road, as well as people who come out of the front of the target(god we need names for the areas but I mean the flag areas). Your turret is covered by the wall(where the flag is) so the only way for them to get destroyed is for someone to shoot them from that room on top(near the flags) or for someone to come from behind them(which means they went all the way around your base) or for someone to lob a grenade from far when coming from up the road.
Another place to place a turret is on top of some area, I cant think of how to describe it, but you go into 1 of the big buildings in the middle, up the stairs and turn into the room, it takes you outside but your on the 2nd floor looking at where you'd place/defuse the c4 stuff. Place turrets up there, its harder to destroy them from there as well..
