I have noticed that with the rocket launching vehicles (not infantry) that sometimes the rockets home in and follow their target. What I have not found is a pattern to it, and figured out how to get them to home in. Earlier today, playing on Meadows_flying I used a Stealth Tank against an Orca, which was just hovering in place, so I hit it with the first salvo. The second and third salvos went straight and missed, however the fourth went past it, turned around and hit the Orca, destroying it. This has also happened with the MRLS, both for and against me. Again, I have found no pattern to doing it, and the rockets have even homed in on cloaked stealth tanks at long range, that were not revealed in any way, until my rockets curved to hit them. The ONLY thing I have found consistant is that my cursor has been close to or on the target that gets homed in on, but I am not sure. Does anyone know the scret/trick to doing this?

the trick is to press alt-f4 while clicking. Takes alot of practise abd patience, cause the game is know to crash after its first few homing missiles, it needs to get used to the generation of extra code.

I'll try that red reticle thing from now on and see if it works. BTW, why would you even waste your time telling me "Alt-f4"? I guess there's no way to prove i didnt try it, but most ppl realize that alt-f4 closes the currently selected/windowed program... How do you think I get rid of all those porn ads??

I know what your talking about. I've missed a flame tank before that was pretty close to me and the missle went straight up turned around and came right down on top of it. It was the collest thing ive ever seen (almost). I'm going to spend some time in a mrls to try to figure it out. That would be awsome.

Half the time I'm in a MLRS, I'll pump off my six rockets. The first five will go straight and true. The sixth, however, will go vertical, loop-de-loop, loop-de-loop AGAIN, and then dive downwards and explode maybe 10 meters off the ground. No, I'm not kidding. It's why I take such a perverse pleasure in killing those things with MobArts.

That alt+f4 trick? I love doing that on AOL. I'll enter a n00b chatroom and tell everyone that if they want to see something really kewl... (usually a picture or a secret window in AOL) to press alt+f4. After that, I just sit there and watch the numbers go down... HEHEHE!

I wish to make this post summarise all the best (and obvious) tactics you can use whilst playing for NOD. I'll start us off with... 1. Stealth Blackhand & Beacon - sneak into base (with no defenses!) and plant beacon, then guard it.

2. Stealth Tank and Beacons;
3. Artillery: attacks GDI's buildings out of the AGT's range.
4. Stealth Tank and Flame Tank rush: Stealths attack vehicles, Flames take buildings out.

Don't forget.. you can kill infantry pretty well with snipers when you hide and shoot from dark corners.  Anyhow...
On undefended maps, I'd say do some buggy engineer rushes once you can afford them. Do it quickly though.. before they can buy a hotwire and place mines. Flame tank rushes are often successful if everyone rushes properly (how people screw that up is beyond me.. rush=rush, not stop and backup as soon as you start getting hit). I find them boring lately, though.. so I try to use different methods. [ May 06, 2002: Message edited by: kubi0461 ]

Flamethrower suicide run. Actually effective vs. tanks somewhat, and if you keep running, throw c4. Whee. Origional.
