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

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.

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.

If you wanna disrupt their income, it's worth the tib damage to plant a couple timeds on the harv and take that out(and it's funny to see c4 on wheels...bomb go up...bomb go down...bomb go up...bomb go boom. ), that limits their income to the 2 cred mini-injects you get.

Thats fun to do yeah

I did 30 remote c4 on me and blew it next to the MCT and had not much damage i want to suicide bomb

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!
