Introduction
Hello! This is the first guide i've ever done, and the reason i start now is because i see alot of players doing stupid stuff, asking basics that isn't covered in the tutorial and other details.

I'm just going to simplify things and make it as short as possible.
The rules of Heroes:
Rules:

1. DEFEND THE POINTS.
That does not mean "sit 150 metres away from the point with a Garand/G43, it means get in the zone or within 20 metres or the cap zone.

2. DEFEND THE POINTS
I cannot stress this enough, DEFEND. If you see that the point is contested, GO THERE! Don't think: "someone else will get it", if everyone thinks like that (which they usually do). No-one is going to get it!

3. ATTACK THE POINTS
If the defense is all well and all of the teammates have moved up to defend, you may now attack. And that means getting into the area and contesting it, no matter what. Meaning; Be fearless, don't be afraid of dying! Get in the point before going for kills unless you REALLY need to kill a person standing right between you and the objective.

4. FLANK
Flanking, everyone knows that word. Yet 95% of the players don't flank. If you see your teammates shooting/running straight for a point. Don't join them! Go AROUND and surprise the enemy. Trust me, it's worth it!

5. WHEN CAPPING POINTS, USE THE UI TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
If you're in a point defending / attacking, and look in the top middle of your screen. You will see an icon and numbers representing the amount of your teammates and enemy players on the point. Protip: Cover one exit where the enemies usually enter, and look at the ui. If you see a number, you've got a guy coming in the other entrances.

6. ALWAYS GO FOR O1, O2 AND/OR O3
GET THE OBJECTIVES! Don't go capping random points because you can. If you have the objectives, stay inside the objective closest to the enemy reinforcement line. Or attack the point closest to that objective if you have atleast 4 people on the objective defending. But don't go capping out a neutralized line. If it's neutralized, it's probably going to be neutralized again. Stick to defending the objective that neutralized it instead.

7. DON'T BLOCK TEAMMATES
Meaning; stay something like 5 metres away from your temamates, and if you got a garand/g43 and your teammate has a SMG; you should be BEHIND him or out of the way so he doesen't empty his mag into you when you run around infront of him trying to get that precious kill of yours. (leading to both of your deaths probably)

8. NEVER POKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE TANK
This is free kills for the enemy, one less spawn in your tank Assault Team. And a free tank for the enemy to kill your teammates with. Just don't! As soon as you spawn, scroll up so you are sitting inside the tank.

9. HELP YOUR TEAM, TAG TANKS
Usually, people don't tag tanks because they don't get points. I get that you don't wanna mark them sometimes because you don't get anything out of it. But do it and help others to get points, and help your teammates/yourself from maybe getting spawnkilled. Simply look at the tank to tag it!

10. DON'T SIT, STAND OR PRONE IN AN OPEN FIELD/ROOF/PLACE
Dumbest thing you can do is to stop and aim in an open area. I see alot of people doing this, and they then wonder why they die alot. Instead of just pausing as soon as you see an enemy, run for cover, THEN see if you got a clear shot (RULE 11),

11. DON'T SHOOT UNLESS YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN KILL/ASSIST
Title pretty self explainatory, but i'll give you and example; You start spraying with an SMG at a guy with a rifle 100+ metres away, and then you die. It's not called suppressing, it's called suicide. If you want to suicide, just press F11.

12. DON'T THROW GRENADES AT TANKS
Throwing grenades at tanks will not kill the tank, only your teammate placing a H3 on it to blow it up.

13. YOUR PLANE IS NOT A TOY!
Are you a pilot? Are you jumping out of the plane to cap a point? Well... DON'T! It will use up precious planes and pilots which is extremely useful in the hands of a REAL pilot. Keep crashing? Then the best choice for your team would be if you asked someone else to fly and you switched AT instead of wasting valuable spawns. (Often i join a game as a pilot, kill about 10+ tanks/planes, then die for the first time only to get: "ASSAULT TEAM DEFEATED". Just don't play pilot if you can't fly or if you're using it as a taxi)

14. DON'T WAIT MORE THAN 10 SECONDS IN A CAR
I get it, you wanna help the team by picking them up. Well you're not helping when you get a rocket into the car killing 6+ people. And you might have skilled players in the car that needs to get into battle fast to help save your team/ lead them to victory. Don't sit there for one minute trying to fill the car, you're wasting precious time!

15. DON'T SPAWN IN A CRAPPY TANK
Got that new tanker character? Die alot from enemy cannon tanks? If you have the LMG tank, don't use it in a battle where there is cannon tanks in the enemy team. You will get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the ass, waste resources and probably block a teammate with a proper cannon tank from joining your AT. Instead, leave the AT if the enemy has cannon tanks and let your team join in to kill.
(HINT FOR THE GERMANS: Don't buy the second tank, it is piss, ♥♥♥♥ and garbage. Go straight from first to third)

Great guide. You hit on a lot of points I intentionally didn't make in mine. I think though that we can tell players anything and they will take it in................. until the opportunity to cap a point arises, and then it's a crazy mad every man for himself type of dash to grab the XP. Giving large XP to all players for capping just makes the game laughable at times when you see an entire side converge on one point. Tankers jumping out of tanks, recon breaking cover, and yeah even pilots bailing. Its one of the most serious flaws in the game and it makes any tactical play fly out the window in most games.
Also like you said about spotting/tagging. No one does it as there is no reward. I would have thought it made sense to at least have spotting raise your recon level and give a small reward. Otherwise we may as well rename recon units to sniper units, as they do precious little recon.

death low , kill high.
another tips : always go for the woods. "STOP" every 10 seconds (hide behind a tree or whatever) and look for enemies , if it's clear then keep going , trick if you dont wanna die fast

17) Fire in bursts, when using a SMG at medium range.

16.) If you see a dead friendly nearby, you probably shouldn't stand there.
