Artilary = great for defense, and maybe attack

buggy = good transport for engineers if they need to get to a beacon quickly. Also good agenist infantry rushes.

APC = good for what it does, transport infantry, also good if there's a point you need to get infantry across tiberium (a map were the only way across (no alternate passways) tiberium)

And Nod vehicles do suck without heavy crippling done beforehand to GDI's economy, and the medium tank and mammoth drivers actually were the ones that suck.

other than working against GDI vehicles, flame rushes, and base cleanup, they're pretty useless. am i right? i think it might just be im not very good with the stealth tank, and the light tank gets owned by a medium, but still, is it as inbalanced as i think?

1.) Nod relies more on infantry (Use Flamethrower against tanks, they are for free so use them plenty!)

2.) Artillery has high range! Use it! You can defend your base from the airstrip. DONT MOVE IN FRONT OF A MAMMOTH WITH AN ARTILLERY!!!! I know most of the people do this and its stupid. You give them only some cheap score points.

3.) Look at the "Your tactics at work" thread for the stealth tank.

As for GDI firepower, yea, when your base is under siege by their tanks backed up by engineers, you can only pray that someone is able to place a nuke between them to fry the engineers coz NOD tanks are no match for GDI tanks in a direct conflict.

Bring your mobile rocket launchers, bring your Mammoths, it makes no difference to me. Woe to the engineer suicidal enough to step out of his tank for a little repair. Beheaddings and roadkills galore! I'll sc**** you off my treads at night and sell your medals for beer money.

Come one, come all! On my pale horse, I stand immortal!

But the vehicles are also above average buggys are good for recon and running peeps over and the tank may not be as good as GDI but in groups there unstoppable

they probably don't know how to use the units effectively enough. Nod was more of a gang up and kick arse type team. I'd suggest have stealth tanks sneak on two different sides, and have bigger tanks take out from the front. If you use good tactics, Nod will overwelm the enemy to their defeat. If they have engieners, have like black hand with stealth, sniper or ever a stealth tank kill them (tank should run over them).

Sure GDi has better tanks but from personal experiance Infantry own the battle field (in Under anyway). If GDI are attempting a tank rush use Ravenshaw to support the Nod vehicles. Stand back behind the Nod vehicles and shoot at the enemy vehicles. I personally think the mammoth is way over rated. Its to big and slow for a map like under. Mammoths just get in the way of each other. This makes them easy targets for characters such as Ravenshaw. Medium tanks, APC and Humves scare me. There small faster and more manuverable making them harder to hit.

Dontshoot

The buggy is pound for pound a better deal then the humvee, faster and more easily manuverable, 100 less yet only with 50 less armor 250 compared to humvees 300.

Then the artillery, great against infantry and lots of firepower against everything else, they are what you want to defend, as their lack of armor is necessary due to their extreme firepower, I believe they have more firepower then a mammoth. If these are somehow guarded well with the stronger armored tanks then your getting in a lot more extra firepower.

Flame tanks are base and mammoth killers, if you want to rush a base, except no substitute, if you want to kill a mammoth, except no substitue. Although they are not good against mrls and medium tanks as they can retreat fast enough.

Apc is same as gdi, does what it does, same price.

Light tank - 200 cheaper then a medium, which is what makes it balanced because it has 200 less health then medium. As in Nod fashion though it is faster but with less firepower price per price compared with the medium. If your a good driver you can retreat and flank better with this tank then with mediums.

Stealth tank - don't like it, stealth on this tank is somewhat of a joke, you have the opportunity to get the first shot off, and that is barely worth it because after you shoot your pathetic armor is shredded before you can retreat. Extremely high price, only good thing about this tank is its firepower, otherwise its ridiculously low armor and very high price make it not worth it for the meager stealth ability.

It has HALF as much health as a medium tank, yet costs 100 more. I just don't see the deal, because its stealth can only be used for small things since its a huge tank unlike the black hand which can sneak around and take full advantage of his stealth. This tank is just a ripoff.

and now to the most fun..
it shoots 2!! rockets a shot, now you say
it has too weak armour
i say yah but if you use free look you can just move with turret faced to him and
then you can realy dodge any shots because the shots are realy slow (it takes nearly 2-4 seconds for it to impact in demo map and that is a *** lot of time to dodge the shot, . but if you using this tactic then your movi'n all the time, and when your life is low just stop shooting and cloack and retreat to your base and repair it, and then do same thing again but mammoth is to slow to dodge with so a mammoth needs helping engineers and that is the point, you need no helping enginners because it is not often you get hit.
