Not being much good at offense, I wondered how we could avoid the usual plinking away at the HoN tactic, and hit upon a winner. It's so simple it's funny (and a tad boring, but heck it works):

All you need are 2 or more mobile artillery at the exit of the Nod base, and just continually pound the GDI exit. Why?

- The rounds have the range and rate of fire to cause trouble for vehicles/infantry who are not expecting attack.

- It's very hard for the GDI side to know/see where the fire is coming from, since you're in shadow and around a corner to them.

- It gives your side's infantry and stealths a chance to get into position.

- You're safe from fire from the waterfall tunnel exit.

- You DON'T get pushed by or block the harvester.

- Your own engineers are safe to repair you if you should get a stray hit.

- You have time to type out warnings as you're the first to spot any armour.

- You usually have time to kill their harvester before it reaches the tib field, or definitely kill it before it gets back with a full load.

In the games I tried this, I was only supported once (by another arty), as per the usual lack of listening/teamworking. BUT, I scored 6 boinks, 1 mammoth, 2 meds and a MLRS kills. Not to count the damage done and number of retreats tirggered. Try it and see

It depends on the team you have -- if they play as team - you will own it -- if they dont -- stalemates or lost.....

Everything has a counter - it's how you carry out the plan of attack that makes the difference.

How many FT/Mamie rushes failed because the front one or two people backed out and tried to escape as they take fire?

As the other side pounds you?

Almost every map i played that starts out with people talking and making plans - almost ALWAYS wins the map....

Communication is key --- !

IMHO.....

Another counter to your tactic is that someone could quickly run around that corner and plaster you with c4.

You're all right, it really comes down to teamwork.
