I have an idea that i have tried to get started in games but nobody listens. Has any body had a bumch of engys put remote c4 on the enemy harvester and blow it when it gets to the refinery? If you have enough you could take out the refinery in the first couple of minutes of the game. I think like i said i have not been able to try it

I don't see how you would have enough remote C4 to blow the refinery this way. they do a bit of damage when used on the MCT, but you still need about 10 of them to blow it that way.

5 remote c4 will kill abuilding when placed on the mct, but they will do virtually no damage when placed on a harvestor and detonated close to the refinery. VIRTUALLY NO DAMAGE. DO NOT TRY THIS TACTIC.

Someone said that it would do one tenth of the normal damage. Assuming this as true, it would take 50 remote or 25 timed c4s to blow up a building, I think. It would be better if you could plant beacons on the harvester.

The only benefit to putting remote C4 on the harvester is to attempt to time it so when the other team runs up to it to plant their C4 (common in the City map), you blow the remotes and kill the attacker.

well you cant have 50 remote ones lol then youre far above the limit , in other words its impossible to destroy a building that way

Well, with 30 + 20, 20 + 30 or 25 + 25 combinations you can, assuming they don't repair.

The total C4 limit (including remote, timed and proximity) is 30.

Doesn't work, the beacon falls through the harvester when planted.

I think he meant that you would do it over two runs. And timed C4 doesn't count on the mine limit.

That sounds like a great tactic: When the enemy team finds out what you are doing they will fall from their chairs because of laughing. Thats the moment you should attack! Mfg, ChaosE [ May 24, 2002: Message edited by: ChaosE ]
