when you REALLY ned to repair your tank and you know you won't last all the way to your own base, and you can repair it (i.e. if your engy or hotwire/techy) then jump out and start to repair it, and make it so you wait untill you haver the tank up to almost full health and then jump back in b/c if an enemy wants to steal your tank, and your repairing it, then they will alomst always wait untill you it is fully repaired. this taictic is somewhat brash but it will work abaout 4/10 times, and if it's nowhere near repaired and they steal it just remote c4 it.

I pick off the negie and take the tank nomatter how badly damaged it is. Drive it into base the enemy thinks you rushing untill they see you not getting damaged then its too late.

And so what's the moral of the story kids? That's right! If you're in a vehicle, (say it with me) Don't. Get. Out.
(Exception is of course if you need to disarm that nuke which'll lose the game for you. But that's different.)
Tune in next week kids when Unkie Grimn will be talking about Nook-lee-r weapons.

I couldn't steal my mammoths without em. One amusing story. I was on GDI in the demo, in a Mammoth bombarding the base with 3 other Mammoths and a couple of Mediums. Realizing the ridiculous numbers we have against Nod, I start to rush the Obelisk. After I die, I go back in an APC. I find to my delight that the others took my lead. There's utter chaos in the Nod base. We're kicking a**. Except... One person got out of his tank. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NOD BASE. I saw him trying to repair it. What the hell was he thinking? So I die agan after taking out a stealth and a buggie. Cursing all the while. It took two more runs (and deaths) on the base to take out the captured Mammoth. We did win in points. But we could of won by taking out their base. So close...  [ February 20, 2002: Message edited by: Grimn ]

Don't follow this strategy. It will get you killed and if you are in a mammoth tank your teammates will also want to kill you when they get blown to hell by the guy who stole it. NOD has stealth troops which are excellent for stealing tanks.
Another important reason not to repair your own tank is points. You get 0 points for repairing your own empty tank. Let your teammates do it so they get points.

If my tank gets damaged, I drive it back into my base (or if its an enemy unit i stole, i park it behind a building so the AGT or Obelisk don't get it) and I repair it in my base. NEVER repair yourself on the battlefield.
