There is most-certainly skill on Era, Frankie. So I hope you're speaking on your own behalf on that one. If you think its as simple as speed, gun and voula, ask those who have 10 speed and big guns that still get stomped.

Gang Wars is most-definitely strategic. Era Players all have a fighting style, by putting the right style against the opponent, you guarantee a win. Ex. Black would lose to Syzmic because Syzmic's style is a stronger more aggressive version of Black's.
Frank would lose to Sigma because Sigma's style is a replica of his, but more offensive. It goes on.

So yeah, it does take strategy, which makes it imperative that a gang leader knows the capabilities of his members along with opposing gang's members.

Takes as much, if not mpre strategy than KOTH. Strategy in KOTH is nothing but deciding which entrances to move on, and who has bigger guns, collectively. That is hardly as complex as anticipating different styles of pking.
