Get out in the open and repair your tank at under or field and you will have two or three hovering around you like vultures. That part was meant to be sarcastic, don't do that. Personally I like the repair gun to light them up, then some remotes and a pistol to beat them down. While I am here. I would like to say that the sbh is the most overused, yet unutilized unit in Renegade. They can change a game there is no doubt. BUT! It is so frustrating when a game starts and players start buying sbh, then stand around and wait for the 1000 credits it takes for a nuke. Meanwhile, the base is under attack and oh my word. You know something though? That is neither here, nor there.

I agree, they aren't put to proper use. A few of them easily do well against the likes of medium tanks and AP carriers- they will destroy them in under 100 rounds combined. When people nuke with them, they always equip their laser instead of the pistol. thus, if they get spotted they open fire and the sound of their laser attracts all kinds of unwanted attention. Not only that, but people are too scared to lose them (including me if I have hardly any cash, sorry, but I will defend the base).
In hindsight, pointlessly opening fire against a fully healthed tank with a SBH on your own WILL get you killed. I remember some of the earlier times of ren where people would discuss the SBH as being a good unit, but his laser being too crappy. Not true, as the laser headshot does high damage and you'll practically never run out of ammo.
Hunting SBH: I find as a SBH it is soooo easy to avoid being caught, even against people who run around their base spraying it top to bottom. You easily wait till they've stopped spraying one place, move to it then laugh as they spray everywhere else. I think the best way to detect SBH is simply stop them from getting into the base altogether. I have an ingenious tactic for games on C&C Islands... first, mine the tunnel ways and assign a guard to keep remining. Then buy the scientist of death™ mobius and go to the waterway leading to your base. Stay at your side, but centred, and keep strafing left and right a little. You will cover the whole ground of entry, and see any SBH trying to get in--mobius eats them for dinner. Trust me it works, I've prevented nukes for 20 minutes till the end of the game just doing this. Takes patience though.

So Renegade doesn't equal counterstrike... no shit sherlock.
Techies mining the entrances is the most effective way of keeping out sbh, but you need an organized team (of at least 4 people..) most people mine then wander off. It's even better when you can get their laser rifle after they're dead, the extra noise attracts more attention as well as being a more useful weapon than the pistol.

shouldn't ever be able to pick up their weapons imo

I think it adds a touch of realism, in real war you'd rape the dead bodies of ammo, guns and whatever else, why not here?

And in real war you might also steal the suit of the enemy so that their "obelisk" wouldn't detect that you were part of the GDI, or his C4 charge and pistol, along with any cigarettes he might have, his lighter and tobacco so you can "roll yourself a big one" while your teammates risk their lives...and in real war you could flicker around like a fairy and attack people with guns that fire lightning beams...you could refill all your health status and ammo in one go...to hell with the field medics and base hospital.

How does that help. they are completely invisible outside the view bounds. the only way it'll be helping you is noticing them more when they are "within" your bounds.

This is what I say, let the SBH's live! if there are base defenses. They are just a waste for Nod because they usually can't do anything to help the team, giving yourself a better chance to win. Only bother with them if they intend to destroy a building, like if they are sneakiing around your base, or if they are shooting at you, then you should kill them . No reason to chase them, they will find you.

simple way to avoid sbh is to get someone else 2 repair your vehicle where possible, or get back to the cover of the AGT before getting out 2 repair.

Agreed. It is almost completely stupid to get out and repair your vehicles on the field unprotected; I have seen a match where 3 or 4 of my team's tanks got stolen by Nod SBH's and oh my son... you know what happened that game. I have even stolen a GDI Mammoth the other time. Map was Complex and I was Sakura. You see how easy people got their vehicles stolen.
However, the SBH's aren't meant to only do the stealing. They're worth more than that if you really know how to use it. (And I don't know everything about it)
| danpaul88 |
SBH can be really useful when used properly. For example you can sneak up behind a sniper and take them out
|
Sadly, most of the time snipers won't stand still and let you shoot his/her head till he/she's dead. A good sniper will even turn to you and kill you almost instantly, but yes, SBH's has the element of surprise. If you're SBH and are dealing with soldiers or low-level characters you can kill a few of them before they can even duck because theit laser rifles are a decent weapon.

SBH are, absolutely, without a doubt, the finest units to use on walls fly, as 3 of them are next to certain to take out a building of their choosing. GDI can't mine every building nor catch you if you are careful. 3 c4s, no need for lasers, hell, no need to even wait around and defend the C4 most of the time.
My SBH crew are never caught on this level because they're usually as careful as me in sneaking.

no offense but that's sad
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
