Has enyone ever done this on Nod?
Get a 500 sniper with a nuke and a Stank. Place the nuke beacon and defend it from a far distance. when someone comes to disarm the nuke just get out and head shoot them then jump back into Stank and cloak again.
I used to do this on mappacks and fan maps and it used to work, but it won't work so much on Westwood maps i dont think.

Hehe. That I never thought of. But it suffers from the same problem as normal sniper covered nukes -> vehicles get in the way to block your shot.

In the right circumstances, that would probably be quite a good idea.

just grab a tech with the stank and hook up those tanks.

Something which I have loved since I was a noob is nuking and just waiting for some poor sod to jump outa his tank to try and disarm.

Yet ive never seen anyone but myself do this.
This may be useful when GDI have no WF.
The idea of this tactic is stealth, like a SBH with sniper only you cloak faster.
There are probably easier ways to nuke but im just sharing one of my more rare tactics and like I said ive never seen anyone do this.

If GDI doesn't have a WF, they're pretty much screwed anyways.

Not AS screwed, Nod can fend off tanks a bit better thanks to LCG's. Where as Gunner and Patch suck cock for the most part.

Kinda faction diversity, yes they can better defend from tanks but massed gunners can take down buildings in few second.

Thing is if you have a stank why aren't you sitting directly on the beacon. By the way that is SOOOOOOO irritating!

No flashy signature..

The idea is that you dont want to be seen. If you sit on the beacon or run people over (which is quite funny) then they will say Stank is guarding nuke, and then come the PICs and so on.
But if they are sniped then they fear standing still, especially when they can't see you in your cloacked Stank.

Hi, ok, first of all, if your in a Stank you obviously can't snipe, and secondly, I think that if you weren't in a Stank you be more stealthy, someone is bound to notice a Stank appearing then disappearing and that would draw attention and give your position away, while if your just a sniper, then they PROBABLY won't notice where you are, especially if you have a good snipe location not to mention they'll be running around trying to disarm the nuke.

Thats a good point, and precisly the reason why i said this probably won't work on Westwood maps since these maps tend to be alot smaller than fan maps.

are there specific servers for fan maps? and you said WW doesn't have them or something so if you go to the WW servers then there wouldn't be any? cause I only go on the WW servers.

Yes there are specific server, or I should say there were. UNrules is the only Mappack server I know but I don't like the Way things are run there (n00b Mods etc.). I used to be A Jelly Mappack Regular but that has gone to sleep for now.
When the TT Patch comes out then hopefully we should see fan maps being played again thanks to the auto download feature.

If GDI does not get a head start on that map like a successful hummer rush then Nod owns that map with stanks lol. But ye that is one of the best maps in the whole of Renegade.

No he is talking about Jelly's MapPack Server, they shut that down a while ago, all other Jelly servers are running.

Jelly's MapPack Server? What is that? Isn't that when they just rotate the map being played on? I guess my main question is if Jelly's Marathon is still up and running?

Also, i don't know where to ask this, but does anyone know the body damage? How muh more damage is a head shot to a torso shot or a limb? Or are all shots counted the same? And this is kinda the same thing, but if your a sniper does a headshot kill the guy and two body shots kills him? I've never figured out if Renegade counted head shots as more damage.

Yes Jelly Marathon is still up and so is: AOW1, AOW2, and Mini-AOW it was just the one marked "[MapPack]" that was taken down a while ago it had some fanmaps in it.

I'm not sure about anything else to do with damage but I think a pistol shot to the head does 50 someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes shots to the head do more damage than to the torso. Any sniper shot to the head kills instantly.

ok, also (sorry about the questions) what are skins and why do people change them? I saw someone had posted something on a different forum on how people use skins to spot snipers?
