Why don’t people ever hide behind the harvy to get in to the base? It works very well people never listen to me when I say, "Don’t blow up the harvy I want to sneak in behind it"

becouse it verry unreliable.
you can try and sneak behind it but when playing on a 30 player game i dont think it has much use!

Cuz they want some free points.
Most of them ain't going to play like a team in a public game.

Noone ever expects something so simple to work. I have used this tactic a couple of times, and it does work. It's also embarassing to the enemy. The only problem I've had was, the automated defense still shoot at the harvy( trying to get to you), revealing your position.

I have used this a few time sand it works. but theres a problem:the agt or obolisk will coninue firing at the harvey and reveal your position. On friendly fire it is a good tactic to get their harvey ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

On the reverse side, you can use the harvester on certain maps to hide yourself coming -out- of the base. This works when you're getting sieged by vehicles. Most siegers will turn their attention to the harvester when it rumbles out, trying to destroy it. If you're patient, you can move behind the harvester and use it as a "shield" to get out and get in a few potshots before they start beating on you. Vehicles are obviously harder to use the "shield" technique with since it's a bigger target to hide, but it's better than being seen and getting creamed before you're two inches away from the base defense.
I used this on Field when I was a flame tank. It was 2 mobile rocket launchers and 2 medium tanks beating on the Hand. I followed the harvester, popped out from behind and wasted the launchers and one medium before they got me. We still lost, but at least it sorta worked.

In my experience, it's better to keep the other team from getting $300 per player than going behind the harvester, which you probably will fail at. You have to hope that there's no lag and noone's mined the AGT.

For some real kicks follow a mammy when it drives back to base with its back turned to you{works great on mesa} and stay behind it, you can either 1. keep shooting it if its low on life, or 2. if it seems in good condition stay behind it till he gets out and hop in, the great part about this is the guard tower wont shoot at you becuase it wont shoot at its own tanks.

Hmmm..see killa's post. I believe the agt will still shoot if you're in range in that situation, regardless of whether or not you're behind a vehicle. It'll still try to whack you. Since the mammy is pretty large you -might- be able to avoid it...just long enough for someone to kill you because they see it being triggered...oh, and the agt -can- recognize stolen tanks and shoots at them accordingly.

And I don’t think the AGT has ever shot at me and just hit the harvy

It's a pretty good strategy, lads. But really - if You are in a game full of 36 players, then that strategy would be more like suicide. Then I suggest to BLOW UP the stinking Harvester! But when there are about maximum 6 players on the enemy team then this is a useful strategy.

better yet, if it's low on HP, plant your c4 on it when you're almost there...then you can place a beacon somewhere and still get the points from the harvey, too.

Best one I've seen, and was a victim of, was where the enemy used a tank to trap our harvester against a rock on Under.
I was a stealth BH and watched as the enemy tank nudged it into position and left it chewing a rock for the remainder of the game.

If you want to see a cool light show and kill a havester then get a becon and 2 buggy/hummer in cnc:under and have one push the harvy aganst a rock then put it on one side, then put the other one on the other side. run in and set the becon behind the harvy (its on the tiberin field but you wont die from it). then run up the spirl ramp to the vantige point and watch all vehicles blow. it works even better if someone trys to steal on of the buggys/hummers and get himself blown. its a waste of money but it looks cool.

about the AGT shoting you I think it only shoots you if it sees you, even the smallest part like a foot can set it off. Just like how it will follow you if you are in a tunnel.
