I have actually been on a team that defended against the 6 tank flame rush. All it took was 3 good medium tank drivers. Each medium tank should be able to take out one flame tank before they get to the AGT. That leaves three flame tanks and the mediums should still have good health. You simply block the entrances while shooting at the tanks that aren't right next to you. That was first (and only) experience I had at successfully defending against 6 flame tanks on that level. 3 or 4 isn't so bad as long as someone is repairing the AGT.

One other thing that helped one time for defending the AGT against a flame rush.. when we saw the flame tanks coming, all the people not in tanks put timed C4 all around the AGT. It actually worked pretty well, but it might have been dumb luck. Usually, the best luck I've had for GDI is to keep Nod on the defensive so that their flame tanks don't get a chance to group up. Just don't leave the base completely undefended.

The only problem with the APC rush is that you MUST have disposable people in the APC. The obelisk is usually loaded with mines and the first couple of people to go in it will die.

Anyway.. those are just a couple of my game experiences.

and boom go your six flames if GDI does not entirely exist of super-nOOObs because on a good team
a) you get warned early ("2 flames right, 2 left, etc. or "enemy spotted!")
b) hottys lay mines around the agt so that the flames are on 10\% health when they are coming nearer and will then be blasted by infantry from the back.

Done this so many times, GDI defending mostly wins by points just defending rush after rush.

GDI===BOOM there goes the obelisk

BOOM and BOINK will go your engies!
again, not very likely to succeed against a pro-team, where the ob is mined inside out.
better to try reaching the MCT of one of the other buildings first, that are more likely to be unmined

heres a during the flame rush with 7 med tanks http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/just1aznboi/vwp?.dir=/My+Photos&.src=ph&.dnm=med4.jpg&.view=t&.done=http\%3a//photos.yahoo.com/bc/just1aznboi/lst\%3f\%26.dir=/My\%2bPhotos\%26.src=ph\%26.view =t

I don't have a pic of us going over hill and blasting the oby to pieces, but all you need to know was that we blew up Nod's base
