I think stanks are good, there are stealth, and I always see them get used in tank rushe's. Could somebody tell me your opinion in the Stealth Tank.

It's a good idea to rush with 3-4 stanks to kill something even if 1-2 hotties are repairing, more is even better.

It's funny to watch noobs buy 1 stank then rush in a ame with 8-10 people per team, then they complain stanks are weak and slow, so they tell all to buy flamers since they are stronger......

Flamer=more armor, weaker, slower, can shoot 15 feet from tank, crap in large games.

Stank: less armor, stronger, faster, stealthed, longer range, better in large games.

Heck i've even killed the agt with a light tank rush.

STanks are only really good on bigger maps like city and field where you aren't seen so easily (say, like on canyon or something)

This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

I only use tanks as I cannot snipe.

All tanks including Stanks are very evenly matched against the opposing team. It is just that some teams have better team-players than others do. When this happens the Stanks are a wonderful tool, especially if GDI are full of non team-players. This leaves their base open to destruction from Stanks.

On the other hand, if GDI are any good at all, then the Stank assault is easily beaten.

Conclusion: Attack with Stanks in numbers of of 4 and above. Stay invisible at all costs, regardless of how tempting a target looks. All stanks must focus solely on the building of choice. Every shot counts so no shooting back at GDI. If the Stank dies, so what, you can buy another and by that time the GDI building is generally dead. Thumbs Up

I think flamer does faster damage, but weaker, while stank is slower with the missles and all but each shot is alot more powerful.

Just checked. It depends what server has modified its HPs for various vehicles.

I have just read that that both Arty and Stank give 90HPs per salvo and I don't recall getting as high HPs in N00bstories with any of the vehicles as 90? Blush

ROFL! if they did same damage, then why is it 1 flamer vs hotty, the person can still repair the building easily, with stank vs hotty, the building wont repair as easy, it'll just continuously be damaged, then repaired then damage, and so on everytime the stank fires.

The overall damage is roughly the same.

because if u dont know how to use flamer correctly, or have to stay close to building a flamer cannot give full damage as most of flames go straight through wall, however stank does full damage when right at wall.

Flamers are good for point whoring, their armour makes them harder to take out with c4 and on volcano an early flamer can gain u alot of dosh

if ya right up against a building you cannot do that unless the building is very tall...
and the point i was making is the majority of people dont realize how to get full potential from a flamer...
a hotty can beat a flamer but it does take a while.
