Wellz, the easier way to save/gain credits is to attack the harvester and tanks with light-weight weapons or with repair gun.

Tactic on destroyin' Medium Tanks:
Grab a buggy and have a partner change to Engineer and fill the thing with REMOTE c4s and then change to sniper. Slowly and carefully drive your buggy near a Medium Tank and yell "I'm In Position". Your partner then detonates the c4s by switching to TIMED C4 and right-clicks. and yeah! Baby. You have successfullie destroyed a Medium Tank with a buggy [kinda cheap huh?]

I have more but they're kinda all for me! XD

This is a nice idea that has been posted before, but it wouldn't blow up a medium tank and it's a total waste of mines. Remotes and prox mines are used to protect buildings and blow up buildings, they are not really meant for anti-tank offense.

The problem with this is you have to very dependant on a superior defense team. As you deploy all those remotes they count against your mine limit, which BTW is 30. Only Proximity and Remotes pile up towards that limit. A good technician or hotwire may have had the base all mined to protect from intrusion but now you have removed all those proxies for all your remotes that are a one time shot at maybe injuring a stronger vehicle. Don't get me wrong it is fun, though I'd only do it with friends. Very Happy

wellz, i think it takes 5 remotes to destroy the med tank and 7 for the mammoth. I have a very dependent partner named Itako. He has been in the same games as me almost everyday. Itako is most helpful in 2 vs 2 or 8 vs 8 games. he is SO dependent. he usually (in our case) is a suicide bomber in our group/clan.

I've almost given up on mining in my base anyway, since nobody really gets stopped by mines anymore- and anyone who does is usually not bright enough to do any damage anyway. Whenever I use a tech/hotwire, I'm too busy running around repairing stuff to lay mines(building under attack, tank back from a battle, infantry, turrets, etc). They're more of an early warning system now than they ever were a defensive weapon; they make a nice big boom youn can hear across the base, but will almost never get a kill.

This could be pulled off on maps with few entrances and defenses that can cover all the entrances(Hourglass, Under, Field) Where at least one or two buildings are not likely to be hit by an APC rush. Then you could easily spare the mines that would have been used on that building and apply them to a tactic like this.


"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

I find just the opposite. People get bored and try new nuking tactics and having a good prox pattern in base is key to defending against this. If you don't mine on Islands as GDI you can pretty much bend over and kiss your arse goodbye. Same goes for Field.

Yeah, I don't know where you play but defense is key always. Under is another map where Nod really needs to mine well to prevent people walking in the back door. You can get to everything but the refinery if you can clear the first stretch where the ob can shoot you...

And on maps with no base defenses, not mining means you want to lose.

That's odd, because I was thinking something similar about your last post. Was there a point to it, or did you just feel like insulting someone?

Douche bags seem to be in abundant supply around here...not that it's any different than the old WW forums. Or any forums.

On any tactic: If you can use it, it is legal, and it works, go for it. A lot people wouldn't simply because the driver gets no points out of the deal, so if there's even so much as one person in this game who is willing to sacrifice their score for that of the team...

This tactic sounds best applied when the enemy team is camping right outside your base and pointwhoring on a structure not protected by the base defense (i.e. the Nod airstrip on Under) and would be good to take out a few tanks that will just not go away. Smile

You can get to the Refinery.

You can't even spell douche bag right, what a fuckwit. Never misspell insults, it makes you look worse than the person you're trying to insult.

Actually I always thought that it makes you look like you can't spell, the meaning of the insult remains the same. He's right by the way, your an arse, why insult some-one for no reason, or do you take pleasure in attempting to make people feel bad about themselfs?

Btw, I am very excited about FFVII:AC, I just hope they put some nice flashy animations of one of the Bahamuts in there.
