Just realized this the other day when attacking the tiberium refinery. This is a real cheap trick but really effective if the enemy isnt paying close attention. Just drive a buggy/humvee into the area where the harvester drops off the tiberium and get out. It will get stuck until the vehicle is destroyed, I did this for half a game the other day and the team never noticed, that had to hurt their credits. Cheap or not, you can't deny its effectiveness on a pub.

here's something else I did, I planted a beacon in the slot, as the haverster was arriving, so the engies cant get to it till the harvy leaves. drop a timed c4, and you might succeed in the 'beaconing', ummm just dont get squished.

Now that's a good one too, I'll have to try it out when I'm NOD. Sneak right in with stealth and wait until the harvester is coming back.

If you place a buggy/hummer there, you stop their harvester income, but your team has one less vehicle to use. It's better to just keep destroying their harvester when it's harvesting, and then you get points for it too.

Why is it possible to detonaate your own vehicle by driving over the red pad on the runway for NOD? assuming same can be accomplished by backing a vehicle in the garage for GDI...what purpose dose this serve other than to make a pretty explosion? Do i get my money back? extra points?? Thanks in advance for the help!

You get frustrated, but that's about it. Game developers are JUST NOW cracking the thought that "if an object spawns in anothers space, move the existing object or let them overlap until fixed, INSTEAD OF DESTROYING IT!". Once they "get that", they'll fix it.

I can think of a few reasons I like the auto-destruct... First, it can prevent people from deliberately blocking new vehicles. Driving a Mammoth Tank into the War Factory, thereby making it hard for new vehicles to come out; Parking a Stealth Tank right on the Airstrip circle so that any new units land on you (when they're dropped from the cargo plane) and then either take forever to touch the ground, or tip over and explode. Things like that. In some games, I've seen my own teammates drive a vehicle into the gate area of the Tiberium Refinery and just leave it there. Then, when the Harvester returns, it just keeps on bumping into the vehicle, unable to unload any resources or go out to collect more. Those are the same people that might try to jam the vehicle factories if they were able to. Of course, it wouldn't matter if you were in a good team, but that's not always the case... And also, it's a great way to trash unwanted vehicles. If, for example, you find a unused MRLS lying around that nobody wants, you can drive it back into the War Factory to prevent the enemy from stealing it. Once another vehicle is purchased, the MRLS will just go boom.
