woodsball - more skill?

[Bon]

Sup air requires more dedication, precision training and reflexes which all requires a lot of practise to get good at.


Woodball requires a more tactical mind.


Either way both are fun.

agree enjoy both just a shame i dont have the cash or time to play both

i think woodball is easier due to the fact that most people play as punters or at work-ons.

meaning that there arn't teams as such and so is alot more forgiving etc.

There are different skills to both, I have played both and enjoyed both (air more when I was fit and a few stone lighter). I think it hurts paintball when one side thinks their side is more skilled than the other. If you like ball and like air .... great if you like woods ...... great like them both and respect them both and promote them both we will have paintball as a sport in this country !

Couldn't agree more

Last woodsball site I went to all the chipboard castles, helicopters, trains and tanks were quite large admitedly you do get about 20 goobers behind each item of cover though, so I guess the body mass to cover ratio might not be great.

A common mistake to make, that is a scenario site. Woodsball and scenario are seperate formats. It is comparable to me stating that 3 man is exactly the same as 7 man sup'air.

True woodsball has nothing to do with anything militaryistic, it requires a lot of skill to be played effectivly, however so does sup'air.

In this country we have a lack of true woodsball teams that train to win( mainly due to the lack of competitions compared to sup'air).

Hence both take aprox the same amount of skill if pitched against players who train just as hard for each game type, however most don't so playing an average game of sup'air WILL be harder than an average game of true woodsball.


In places such as America they have a large propurtion of woodsballers who train regularly, so most sup'air players who only play sup'air tend to lose in a woodland environment, however the same can be said for woodsballers in a sup'air environment.

It's like comparing a Hummer to a Jag. Both sexy but in different ways. End of?

Woodsball is great for the old and slow so we can think we can still cut it but sup-air is the only format that can take the game forward as a sport and that is a domain for the younger element among us, woodsball can and indeed does cater for far more players (and brings in most of the new players into the game) than sup-air will for a long time.
I enjoy woodsball at all levels but if I have to be honest very very few sup-air teams from the UK excite me enough to want to go and watch there games.
The vast majority of teams are so boring and have such a lack of skill it's embarrassing to watch.

Woods ball can get boring, esp when it turns into a long balling game.

i personally think that more skill is required to play a game of woodsball than a game on a sup air field. in woodsball you have less cover, and it is not always large enough to conceal you, whereas in sup air you have large bunkers that can easily conceal your whole body. woodsball fields are not always symetrical, or even remotely similar at each end, this requires more skill and better tactics to defeat the opposition. there are several other reasons, that im too lazy to list now. what do you think?
