mrl rushes on hourglass can be a big suprise but with a well organized team you can repair and let obby finish them,

as for arty on say complex... if you have a team of 8 arty's vs a team all saving for meds gdi will get obliterated.

Also both these vehicles are relatively cheap in comparison to firepower so easy to get, can take out infrantry fast also so early game vs a unorganized team will win everytime.

some of you may know, but there is this tactic in hourglass known as the arty rush, where nod gets 4 or 5 arties and rush from the top at the agt. it is totally unexpected and ive rarely seen it fail especially if it is done at the very beginning

MRLS and ARTY are all I use in the early stages and they are both very effective if you have proper support for repairs. Not even Snipers can take them out if properly supported. That includes healing the repairers.

If properly organised in the large 40+ servers these tactics are generally highly successful.

Most definately recommended. All this for the price of a few seconds more than an SBH!!!! Big Ups

med vs arty in 1v1 med will prob win, med will be very low health low... this is taking two players at same skill level for example though... like ya say a prob driving an arty can own a non pro in most veh's

Getting back to topic title, mrl's are screwed if a good players manages to loop ya in an apc... or often even a humvee

You guys don't get the context Neutral

it's when say in any game really (cept 1v1 games because you won't have teched arties) An artillery+a techy will win against pretty much anything.

You're giving Nod an advantage you aren't giving GDI...

you might just as well say "an orca and a med tank will beat any single thing Nod has"... of course it will, it's 2v1

Flamethrowers can melt MLRS. A single good flamethrower can easily destroy a MLRS.

He means that an arty + tech are really strong at the start of the game on many maps, and they are.

Yeah, if they pop out of the tunnel or if they're stupid enough to move straight up to a building to get kills.

That's why donate wasn't intended to be in this game as it changes the game drastic.

And it has nothing to do with the players being "good"

Ok, to steer this discussion back to the originally intended...

I recently have practiced rushing with 4-6 artys early on in game on city-flying, and I even tried it with MRLS.

What do you think of that rush?
