If you have able med tanks then block them from reaching your AGT. If you can do this well enough with enough people, the AGT will make short work of them. You will have to give up your tank almost definitely, but its worth it to keep your defense.

I usually have to do this when I am the only tank in base and a full APC is coming, but it works somewhat for other rushes as well.

Against APCs, just slam into them with a Humvee/Buggy. The way the APC slides when it turns, will make it slide quite a bit when hit at full speed. As for the Flame Tanks, one suggestion is to have two Mammoth Tanks, and maybe a few Medium Tanks constantly pound them. This is especialy useful for keeping them away from your base defence, like Gbull said.

However, if the enemy has already disabled your vehicle structure, well. . . You're fairly screwed. The only thing you can really do is station a couple Hotwire units at whatever structure they're aiming at and grab a bunch of Gunner units, Mobius units, and maybe a Sydney 2 unit or two, and hope for the best. I've seen this work maybe once before in Under, but the damages to the base were quite extensive. . .

shoot them before they get to your base

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

If your team hasn't got a bunch of meds spread around the map then they suck, it's that simple.

Firstly, don't double-post.

Secondly, wrong topic.

What the fuck is your problem anyhow Joseph Collins? Do you go around looking for people to deliberately cuss them out? God forbid someone be NEW to the internet in its entirety and doesn't know how to correctly use a forum. If I went around cussing every guy who sucked ass at renegade because i was better than them, only then would I lower myself to your standards. Now doesn't that sound just a tad bit wrong to you?

No. Not really. Sometimes, the best way to teach people is to be as harsh as possible. It's the only way some people learn.
See, I have zero tolerence for inane stupidity the likes of which was shown by XBladeTRM here, although I don't show it a lot of the time. I mean, seriously. How often do you see me sit there and chew out new users for seemingly nothing? I don't generally do outbursts. This is part of the reason why. It seems like because it's so out-of-the-ordinary for me, the instant I hunker down on some poor new guy for being a complete and utter dipshit, some of you decide I'm out of line and start railing on me. It's more than enough that gbull, a elder member, has said something. That, Sniper_De7, should be good enough for you. "Please to getting of the bent," De. Thank you.

Oh right, sorry. So insulting someone harshly when you act as though it's a last resort. Well at least it would seem that way since you said, "some people". But please, keep insulting. I was in the wrong and you aren't.

why would you just out-of-the-blue go rant off on a guy who's new? If you want to be helpful, try by being nice and informative. Not "you're an idiot".

I mean do you seriously think insulting a new guy is not out of line? Why don't you just give him more incentive to not play this game?

I'm not really a senior member. You should not publicly tell off new people. Things like this can be better said over a personal message.

new people however should read the rules. if they did, they would realise they should make a new topic about stuff like that. don't we even have a welcoming topic that explains his question? Rocked Over

sorry this has nothing to do with the topic. well dealing with 5 flame tanks minus the stank will be difficult too. what everyone has said is what you should use against them. but the topic starter, I think, was trying to say "what should you do if you see them coming and you aren't prepared". well you're screwed. quickly build meds and get mobius, PIC sydneys and hotwires to defend the likely buildings. even then they might get one of your buildings before they die, and if you lose the AGT, it's hell.

Firstly, he said he was new, which means he might (and most likely) not know about the edit feature. Same with him not knowing about stickies. But even BESIDES that point - There is nothing about saying you can't double post. However , There is a rule that says you can't deliberately spam to get post count, and given this situation, I do not think he's exactly racing to get 350 right now. and EVEN if there WAS a rule against double posting, I'm sure there are exceptions to them for new people. A person cannot automatically assume a user has used the internet for over a year and has been to other forums.

If you have no defenses prepared your best bet is to flood the AGT (or other target building) with engineers / hotwires to keep it alive, while you destroy the flamers with whatever weapons you can get your hands on, vehicles if possible.

3-5 mobies + some Pic (prhaps a med) can defend against a fairly large rush if they organize themself and not stand there spraying till they get run over....
it also helps if you have a couple noobs with final Big Grin
