Just warnin' ya'll that I just got the game and started my online account up, so your going to have to deal with my newbishness for a while  In my defence, I've played all the C&C titles out so far and I'm a fairly quick learner  A few questions,
When sniping, I know you have to lead your target, does distance determine the lead you need to take?
Head shots do more damage I know, but does where you hit an enemy tank determine how much damage you'll deal to it?
For anti-tank infantry, which works better for Nod, Flame Troopers or Rocket Soldiers? Any other tips you might have for me would be gladly accepted. [ April 17, 2002: Message edited by: ZTankMuncha ]

First of all don't snipe its a waste of time let newbs do that, second use flamers since rocket soldiers cost money, third tanks don't have vulnerable spots the game isn't that advanced shooting it in the wheel is just as good as hitting the turret.

The only thin gI can say is don;'t try and be a sniper in a laggy game... people jump all over the map and you'll never get a shot off... as for leading, sniper bullets are instantly transported to the target. The newest strategy that I found to be both funny and effective is this: This requires two people. One of them an APC driver, the other, an engineer/technition/hotwire ("unit"). Have the "unit" place remote C4's all over the front of the APC (only the front and ALL OVER... reload with the Purchase terminal and continue loading the fron t till you can't anymore)... if friendly fire is on.. expect your APC to die. At this point RAM either a building or a vehicle you desperately need destroyed... call "DESTROY THAT VEHICLE!" and have the engineer detonate the mines... voila If Friendly fire is off.... you can have multiple engineers detonate at different times so that it's not over kill.... otherwise KAMAKAZE! -----------
A variation of this strategy would be a solo mission where you put proximity mines ALL over your tank... looking for trouble 
----------- HAPPY HUNTING

the sniping is not a waste of time. i know it does not give you points but when you have destroyed there HON and they have hot wires and ravesaws defending base, sniping is a good idea it makes it easier for your mobiles to get in there and attack, also the other team cant repair as fast when you get rid of the hotwires. another thing sniping is good for is when you have a whole bunch of moblies hitting your base and they have hotwires fixing the mobiles snipe the hotwires. overall there are limted uses for the sniperthey arent that good at attackiing building or mobiles(except the MRLS and ART).
