I've been playing for a while now and have as of yet been unable to figure out exactly how invisible the black hands and stealth tanks are. Are they always visible, just as shimmery blue stuff? So that they can only be seen from close up? Can you see them better when they move? Thanks

When your nod, you can plainly see "Stealth" (man or tank) When GDI ,it's "harder" to see either when there is distance . Upon firing your weapon you will uncloak and be visible for a brief time to both sides.

the stealth troop is hard to see, only if he bumps into you going around a corner will you usally see him. But the stealth tank is a whole other story, i never get ran over by a stealth tank becuase you can see them from quite a distance away, i feel it ruins the whole point of being a stealth tank.

I find this really amazimg...but... On some masp when GDI is homing in their attack - I can sneak a stealth tank through the barrage of Mammoths, even bumping into the Vehicles, and then get to their base and burn it all to hell

Yes that is a good strategy but the Stealth Tanks speed and maneuvrability are quite low. A good strategy is to use them to ambush. A mobile artillery will be also a good addition.

It is wrong that most of peole are using the Stealth tank for only direct approaches such us assaults because of their firepower.

I like using Stealth Tanks as a "car" to get to my sniper spots, because watching snipers are less likely to notice a Stealth Tank then, for instance, a Light Tank or Buggy.

hmmm...stealth units...sometimes the sun reflects the ripples on ur cloaking machine...so...when u get about 8ft in range to the enemy unit...the enemy unit will c u...so be careful...also...if the stealth unit gets shot...even by its own team...it will reveal the ripples...that's why like in c&c_island...i always walk in the tunnels while i shoot my auto pistol...it has infinite ammo and everything...though sometimes u miss u have a 85\% chance of hitting the blackhand...

I see that you're quite a lose cannon my friend. Even if I play mostly GDI i prefer a more cunning and stealthy approach (cloacked or not). But that's just my humble opinion.

I haven't tried it myself, but if your a stealh hand and in the field, you can remain undiscovered. Granted you can't do any damage, but if you wait for the enemy to repair their tank, you can hop in and run them over. I had it happen to me a few times and it made me real mad  .I then started firing in random places to uncover the cloaked b@st>@rds...

If you damage a stealth unit, you'll also see the shimmering blue. If you know that there is a stealth tank nearby, shooting at the ground with a tank (or artillery) will usually reveal their shimmering blue self.
