This is experimental tactic I usually use for even getting to top #1-3 in 12-24 player games. Note, that I just tried it in demo, and I am quite new, but I think it is very effective.

Ingredients:
Technician
Stealth Tank
Basic Driving and Shooting skills.

At the beggining of the game get Technician as soon as you can, and start mining obelisk and entrances to the base. Remember about 30 mine limit. Once you hit $900, immediately go for Stealth Tank. Set your weapon to repair gun.

Next stage: use advantages of your invisibility to ambush infantry and light-armored vehicles. I don't recommend getting too far away from the base, unless you really need to.

Usually there is heaven of targets. All you need to do is wait for the right moment, then release few missile salvos and *boink*.

What's different about this tactic is the fact that you can raid large groups of tanks and do drive bys with little penalties to yourself. This tactic involves a lot of running and dodging in vehicle, so be prepared. ZigZag from side to side when running, and start running as soon as you received your first hit, not shooting. Wait until stealth kicks in, pull behind rock or some other >>You are sure it is<< safe place, jump out and repair. It takes maximum 4 seconds to repair and jump back in tank, which is not enough for anything to lock on you. Keep strafing around the tank just in case there is some havoc or sakura shooting through it. Once repaired, get back to ambushing, doing hit and run.

About effectiveness--newbie like me on map CnC Under gets about 10 kills in 5 or so minutes along with countless saved teammates and 'support fire' points.

thats not the piont, dummy
this is a team-based game
the team must win
points dont matter
its people like you who make team games suck by going out and pretending your Rambo or james bond
in other words...
WORK AS A TEAM
GO PLAY A DEATHMATCH GAME LIKE DOOM OR HALF-LIFE IF YOU WANT TO JUST GET "FRAGS"

people like you are also classified as n00ds, not newbies

O_o

O_o o_O O_o o_O

WTF are you talking about? I don't need to prove myself to you at all whatsoever.

Just play me in a game and you'll STFU easily.

It's okay though, I pity you, and that's got to count for something.

While I agree totally with this post, I also have to agree with ACK here. It's difficult-to-impossible to pull off consistent stealth runs in a game with good players. You have to constantly be one step ahead of them to stay alive. Hit and run works, but you're better off just kicking as much ass as you possibly can for that 400 points of life you have, because if you do you'll have enough for another tank when you die.

Stealth tanks are the bane of everyone, he's right there. The only thing with a shorter lifespan is a Hummer running at an Obelisk full-speed.

you obviously dont know what you are saying.
all the tactics that ACK has told you here works and the socalled tactics that "nox" had cant work against an experienced player more than one or two shots because then they will hunt him down at shoot the sh*t out of him.
and experienced players do help each other.
n00b´s dont.

Report message to a moderator

for once your posts are constructive critsism, I too would have to agree with ack that ST runs are only good in the demo game with complete n00bs. Come into a real game and try it .. bye bye ST

ST are only good for one thing in my opinion, GDI defenses down ? grab a ST and drive in, then over everyone especially if you take out the Weapons factory heh..

First of all, ACK, I am getting game soon.

Second of all, that tactic is valid, it works. They won't find me after I am cloaked, simply because I am good driver. Yes, I am a newbie but I am good driver, and I can uncloak in front of 3 mammothes, evade their shots for quite a while, and then pull out with around 150-100 health--in stealth tank. It's hard to hit me.

With Tech/Hotwire it takes approximately 4 seconds to repair stealth tank to full. There goes your "danger of jumping out" point right there.

Stealth tank does immense amounts of damage to vehicles and infantry. It is a one hit kill vs an engy, other soldier, even a hero if both missiles hit 100\%. However, to the moron that said I am being a rambo--no, I am mostly taking out engies and then tanks that like to siege our base. Once engies go down, rest of my team does Flame/Light tank rush. GDI caput!

And I have a request: there is no need to flame me. I own you in flame wars. So please, just shut up if you can't discuss something w/o busting out your flamethrower.

Thank you.

Okay, beyond shadow of a doubt, you've proved your n00bness. You're unable to listen to ANYTHING an experienced player tells you.

What, you've only played UNDER?! HAHA LMFAO.

Why don't you try your Stealth Tank tactic on Volcano? Or on City? I dare you to try it on any other map. Oh, wait, you only have the demo, and you only have that supreme camping map called Under.

Try thinking before you post, Nox. The demo is NOT like the actual game. One map does NOT entitle you to posting strategies as if you're the king master of this game.
