I was doing some testing in multiplay practice and found how out how long it takes for each vehicle to takwe out a structure single-handedly, no repair, and on continuous fire.

NOD------------------TIME-------SHOTS
light tank:--------65 secs------44
mobile artillery:--37 secs------25
flame tank:--------35 secs------N/A
stealth tank:------35 secs------24

GDI
medium tank:-------55 secs------37
mrls:--------------42 secs------36 (6 salvos)
mammoth shells:----39 secs------39
mammoth rockets:---26 secs------28

Forgot to count the number of shots for each, so i might go back and do that later.
Anyway, here are some interesting points:

1.mammoths are the best at taking out buildings with their rockets, which have a short range, so use the shells until u get up close enough. Unfortunately most people are too afraid to get their shiny new mamoth scratched, so u cant really mammoth rush on public server. Shame
2.Stealth tanks do just as must damage to buildings as flamers, but get killed twice as fast. Though with a squad of 4 stealths, it might be possible to sneak into their base (base defences must be down) undetected and suddenly fire on a building near the back.
3.for all intensive purposes it appears mobile artillery is better than mrls. The ma has a fully rotatable turret, deals damage faster, easier to aim (at least in my opinion) an i believe the shell is faster too. Though i guess the multiple rockets could be useful at certain times, instead of just one shot.
4.Some people have posted ideas about light tank rushes on agt and med tank rushes on onlisk, but apparently they wouldn't be as effective as a flame rush. Even though the light tanks get to fire before the flamers do, i think the flamers would still kill faster in the end. Medium tanks might work ok, but obviously not as good as a flame rush. You might also want to try a mammoth rush if u can afford it and have some teammates with actual cajones.

EDIT: added the number of shots for each. Thanks for stars . Please feel free to post any ideas/comments of your own based on my findings.

I know it's from an old topic, but I thought some people might find it useful.

I apologize for him. I am sure he was tired after all his testing. I must point out though, that he also capitalized time and shots.

Ya prick

I also think the mobile artillery is better in most cases, but the MRL has it's advantages. For one, you can get the missles to curve around and arc just right to hit something that normal shells can't.. such as snipers hiding on top of a wall.

Chem warrior deserves special mentioning, though not quick, I heard can take a building alone.

I heard all buildings have the same amount of health/armor. I've also heard that this includes the harvester.

its true,i've tried it but first u gotta get a chem warrior INSIDE a biudling first, its better to get 4 chem warriors (costs less then a flame) and if a buidling is near a tunnel exit, chem it, 4 chem warriors do as much damage, if not more, then a flame tank against a building.

You mean by deploying a beacon and then leaving the game 5 seconds before the Ion/Nuke hits?

Yea, that's right. I had to delete it, 'cause everyone was getting really p1ssed at me for telling this to all the n00bs, who would supposedly try it.

If 4 chem warriors could get inside the building, they could just destroy it with C4, so its moot. Why does it have to be chem warriors in particular? Any 4 infantry that get in can finish a building, and even faster than that chem gun. One technician can do it.

Point is, if you manage to get in, you may as well blow it with C4.
