I was driving around in a stolen mammoth tank once, three sidneys got locked onto my turret and the tank was gone about 10 seconds later. Hehe.

So my advice is: Never overlook Sydney, she packs a punch against tanks for only 150 creds.

HARD!

I've actually found the TAR to be quite effective against Stealth Tanks. Just stay the hell clear of them, but 100 rounds can easily polish off a stealth tank and severely damage a flame tank. Nice weapon, and since sidney is only 150 creds, 3 or 4 of 'em can become unstoppable tank destroyers for a VERY marginal fee. I've also found that on C&C_Under, Sydney snipers can become a lethal tool. Catch the tanks as they go over the tiberium field and boom, let 'em have it. Most people will catch on, so you'll definitely need to keep behind something, but its definitely one of the most cost-effective tank removers in the game. Of course the rocket soldier delivers MUCH more bang for the buck in terms of vehicle squashing, he is mostly useless against infantry. Heh.

Found that out myself while playing on WOL today. Was totally suprised. My teammates saw it too and 6 of us use it to stop and wipe out a 8 tank flame rush. We got booted after host (noddie) accused us of cheating.

50 rounds will also take almost a full block off a building if you're firing it at the MCT.

Looks pretty good to me for 150 creds, I'll be using her a lot more often now.

There really isn't much of a direct correlation between the midlevel characters. The closest you could draw upon would be laser chaingunner to Gunner and stealthhand to Patch. Not patch to laser chaingunner.
Patch can't kill vehicles. Stealthhand can't kill vehicles. Gunner and laserchain both do.

But then laserchain can mow infantry, whereas gunner can't. Gunner can do dmg vs buildings where laserchain isn't as effective. The closest comparisons come from the most basic and most advanced units.

I am a Lop-sided player, I kick ass with nod but suck horribly with GDI. The main reason I can think of is the stealth black hand. I have to say that it is potentially the best unit to have as nod, Especially against a bunch of misfits. Stealths are not meant for direct fighting...you want to get a MRL, run up to it and plop a timed C4 on its door. You'll be visible for a second so run behind it so the camera view of the enemy can't see you. once your invisible again go refill... Want to steal a mamoth tank? pack a C4 on one and run behind it (don't get runover, did I leave that out the first time i mentioned this tactic?) wait the explosion and for the dummy to get out to repair it. jump in run him over and drive home. Get it repaired and give it to the MVP of your team. Or, if you are the MVP give it to the second ranked guy. Why would you do this? Three reasons, to make sure some n00b doesn't waste a valuable mamoth tank, to promote teamwork by being the nice guy and give away $1600 worth of stolen equipment and finally, the third reason is so you can go back out and steal another vehicle. You can't be very stealthy in a huge stolen tank.

Keep in mind that this tactic helps quite a lot and for a relative low cost. It's primarily base defence but has a huge offensive potential when armed with a nuke and downed/missing enemy defences. run into the base and drop a nuke sit there cloaked and take out the engies.

BTW nothing beats running behind enamy infantry (usually snipers) and pasting a timed c4 on their back. Plop it, leave silently and then wait 15 seconds and then let the guy know. "Hey SystemX_99 You're boinked for stealing my name!"

To sum it up...the Stealth is very dangerous!! and can potentially cause more damage then any of the other characters.

Best thing is that the stealth tank can recover from attacks and heal while taking cover behind a rock or something, then hide, attack from behind.. a few times i've took out a mammoth by using a stealth tank to go behind it and Drive full throttle into the rear of it while shooting.. the mammoth couldnt turn or use its gun on me, got wasted

Yeah I posted the same message on about 3 different topic discussions. I want to make people aware of some of the game's strategies. I am not trying to flood the discussion groups with my babble....I am just tired of idiots who spend their time shooting before they look. a couple of times I brought a mammy stolen and an inch away from death, and stupid team mates pack c4 on to it and blow it up.

please please anybody !!!
