The momemet a stealth unstealths against me is when it seals its death because it cannot keep up 1 vs 1. As for stealths in bases, tell me that when me and my whole clan make it a habit to go after tanks with remote c4 and keep a sydney or gunner around, the stealths die twice as fast as flame tanks. Its as simple as that.

I also love it when they buy a stealth, stealth blackhand, beacon and plant the beacon and drive over it. lol stealth dies so fast we just plant a couple c4 and 900 down the crapper in about 5 seconds and then disarm after wasting the laser blackhand.

it seems that EVS has all the answers. As for that well he has is entitled to an opinion. Wrong though it may be. Stealths have their uses and obviously not everyone can see them. I f I had a beacon in a stealth and in your base the building I target you could stick a fork on cuz it's done baby

im not gonna keep posting bare obviously understandable facts that you n00bs don't get the point of. The simple fact is, in my clan games, we don't use stealths because they suck and were not n00bs. Yes that was an insult because you just dont get it do you....n00bs....

Flame Tank are overated I think.. stealth rushes are never used, more than 2 stealths at a time are rarely used really.. People seem to rather get the die_instantly_ orcas and apaches.. which I never use at all, waste of 900creds. Light tank is my 2nd fav vehicle next to stealth tank. I wish the projectile on light tank went faster though.
I agree that flames are over rated and light tanks under rated. I can't remeber ever being blown up in a tank by a stealth though. Not enough armor to go against anything but a hummer. Also i can only remeber like 2 times that ive been killed in a choper. I think they are by far one of the most dominant vehicles in the game. Ramjets are the only way to defend against choppers in my opinion. And they're easy to escape if u fly low to the ground and around buildings.

They don't die twice as fast.. They are stealthed so unless someone is hacking they can't see it past a certain distance(it becomes 100\% invis) and it moves extremely fast so its harder to hit. Stealth tank does pretty massive damage. And it kills buildings much faster than flame tank(i just tested it)

They are nice for a few things. Once I was playing a game of 40 players. I had the stealth tank and simply drove in the enemy base. Since this was not a AGT/Oblisk base, I could come in without worry. Next thing I know, there are 15 men running around like crazy. Hmm... so I kept driving and ran over all of them! LOL! CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK CRUSH BOINK LOL!!!

Stealths work great on the two maps with snow and sand, all you need to do keep the tank in the white area until you see the rush go by (usually APCs) and enter the compound than go behind your building of choice, lay a Nuke and park your tank on top of it..........if anyone tries to disarm it "squish!", than go back to base and laugh.......

Isn't it funny when people when people are confronted they say that everyone is a n00b. It seems that certain people can't handle a civil discourse on th eideas behind a game. There is no one right answer. It ius a matter of personal preference and what you can do with a stealth.

Flame tanks for seiging bases (in multiple numbers) only. Stealth really has no purpose, it is poor at fighting, its poor against infantry because the upper class weapons and c4 can do you in real quick, and its no better against buildings then cheaper and double as armored flame tanks. Get the picture yet? And don't give me the moronic "u can use em to run over stupid newbie $#@!ers so they ruel!!!!!" bullcrap. Dunno how many times ive dodged a stealth trying to crush me and killed it with a crappy character, it just doesn't work people.
RIGHT... stealth tanks may have low armor so as long as you use them conservatively or in hit and runs people will be caught by suprise and stealth tank shots to HEAVY damage. if you come around a medium or mammoth as its engaged with a fire tank or light tank you can shoot it from behind. it works so well. how can you say its useless!? its great, and if you have the money you need to experience it!

this game go like this.. i was playing GDI at the map city.....and we was like leading with so many points.......and the game was ending like in a few mins.......... so i think this was the part which caught us unprepared.. our base defence was so lex... so i walk a round to buy a vehicle..... suddenlyn the alarm sounded and it seem all the buildings in the base was under attack!!! we was caught unpepared. most of us jus rush to repair the building which was 1st to have it's alarm sounded. and this was the terrible part. b4 we finish repair one building the other buildings was under attack.. so the whole GDI team was in disarray...... well i guess u all can guess wat happen next my base was blown apart with nukes, enemy units and the dreaded strealth tanks......i was really surprise. a group of strealth tanks has brought such a great problem to a winning team...... of cos with no time left we couldnt counter them back..... guess this can be a good tactic to share with u guys.... but good timing is required for this tactic to work. but now i dun underestimate the power, strealthness and strenght of this tanks in groups and good timing....
