The SBH is one of the most popular units in Renegade. However many people hate them. Why is this? Discuss.
|
On a map like Field or Under, usually a third of the Nod team is running around with SBHs. Most people just stand around with them and do nothing, in hopes that they could steal an enemy vehicle. In the rare occasion where they do steal a tank, they usually get it blown up or just have it locked in the base.
SBHs can deal a lot of damage if they were actually used in opportune moments, but most people don't do that.

Like a few said above: most people use it incorrectly / at bad timing. A bit like mammoth tanks.

I love the SBH's who tell the team to get down the base defenses so they can go in and nuke em. When instead they could go get a tank and help take out the base defenses then go be an SBH
And if you get your tank stolen by an SBH, perhaps your getting out of your tank some place you shouldn't be. Its very rare an SBH steals my vehicle.

Overall it's often better to take the chance of getting your tank stolen one time out of 25, then to not repair at all in the field. The key is to make small repairs, so they don't get too much time to steal your tank and you stay in the green  .

Or to booby-trap your tank. Any unit that can repair can also use remote C4, and triggering your trap is as simple as hitting enter and right clicking. Most vehicles that require frequent repairs (Orcas/apaches/MRLS/Artillery) only need 2 C4 anyway. They can steal your tank, but in the end all they manage to do is give themselves away and give you points (In some high-income maps like Complex and Islands, the points are worth much more than credits used to buy the tank anyway)

Yeah, but then you are using up part of the mine limit.
This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a seperate limit for proximity C4 and remote C4?
And anyway, both the maps I mentioned have only 3 buildings and relatively tight entrances, making mines less of an issue than on, let's say City_Flying, or Volcano.

There is, but not standard. Only on servers that have modified the mine limit to have a seperate one for remotes and proxies. In standard ren, the remote and proxy mine limit is 30 all together.

If used correctly, the SBH is great. If there's a stalemate on Walls Flying, or Nod's being assaulted heavily, I usually grab a SBH and nuke one of GDI's buildings. I succeed around 8 out of 10 times.
Though, 75% of the people with a SBH are like HAY I R KOOL I R INVIZIBAL L!OL!OLO!L!O!l1o1l1ol

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.
