Flame tank, despite it's range. It's great for taking out defenses, and with the help of a Light Tank or a Buggy to take out infantry, they can easily decimate entire bases.

Well, NOD tanks aren't really made for assault. You should try the light tank. It's fast, powerful enough to do quite some damage and has enough armor to keep you alive a good while. You just have to keep moving a lot, and know when to retreat. But again, NOD isn't for frontal assaults. Unless you have artillery or other flametanks backing you up, your flametank/light tank is going to get stomped.
Hit and run tactics, that's what it's all about Stealth tanks can be quite deadly and fun, especially if GDI sets up a tank barrage (ie: they have powerul/lots of tanks backup with engineers, making them close to invincible), because in a heated battle, no one will pay attention to you (and their visibility will be greatly reduced by the explosions and stuff) so you'll be able to squash all their engies and they won't even notice. Don't rely on its firepower though, stealth tanks are relatively weak... You should use mobile artillery if you have good aim and like picking off enemies from 3 miles away. It's awfully powerful, precise, but slow and weak, so you can't just pop in the middle of the battlefield and take people out. If you really want to go with flametanks, then you have to be smart and take paths where you know they won't see you/shoot you. If you can get close to the enemy with some armor left, they're dead and buried.

Depends on the situation. Flametanks can take a lot of damage, they are fast and they do a lot of damage. It's your best bet to take out other tanks or base defenses - or any other building for that matter. They are the best anti-base tanks in the game - better then mammoth tanks. In fact, a good flametank driver can usually take out a lonely mammoth tank because the flametank does so much damage and moves so quickly. For defense, use artillery or stealth tank. The stealth tank has short range but you can get behind the enemy unseen and then circle around him while you keep firing. Also good to break tank blockades, blowing up harvesters or just generally being a pain in the butt. If there are no base defenses, the stealth is also good against buildings. It does a lot of damage very quickly (it's not weak as some people think, it just has very short range so the missiles sometimes blow up before they hit - which is hard to see if you sit inside the tank).

i donīt think so Take 3 Flametanks and 2 enginers behind them, and you can rush down every base you want to. The only problem for nod are Mammoths since they donīt have anything similar to that. But with flametanks, you can rush really good!!

every vehicle has it's place, nod or gdi. i've enjoyed the flame for it's building and tank killing ability(up close of course), and the stealth for it's ability to be sneaky and kill from behind or running over infantry. the arty is great from long range and can be an effective anti-sniper weapon as well. and the buggy is fast and good at killing inf as well as rushing to an enemy's base with a couple of techs to blow a building or 2. gdi's vehicles are no less effective, though not as exotic. i like the mrls, but i hate the view you get with it. they should correct that....

I never buy light tanks anymore... They simply do not do enough damage and only have 100 hps and 100 armor more than a mobile artillery... Moblile artillery are cheap, and do huge amounts of damage... But over all I prefer the apc black hand nuke rush...

Flame tanks get owned by a bunch of Volt rifles, engies or not...

The best NOD tank is when I steal a mammoth from the hotwire who got out to repair it.  Seriously though, a single mammoth on Nod's side can provide amazing base defense. All the nod vehicles are good,especially the stealth tank since it can take out any infantry with ease either by running them down or shooting those super-precise rockets.

BTW, the best Nod tank IMO is the Flame Tank. It is very effective on defending base against Humvee or APC rush and to destroy harvesters as well. Also its very good on destroying buildings when enemy power is down or Adv. Tower is down.

after the defenses are down? heck, the flame tank is the one that takes the defenses down. i've done it several times with a 2 flame tank rush. the enemy doesn't always have ready defensive troops to stop you. and once you get close to the agt, it can't fire on you. sure many times it fails, but if nothing else it might put the other team on the defensive so you can concentrate on their harvester while they're pinned inside the base....

but flametank is 800 and volt autorifels are 1000 a piece.
Its like saying a bunch of nod chaingun blackhands own a basic soilder. 
the flame tank is my fav nod tank. They own every other tank in the game. Meds are a pain sometimes though because they have enough speed to keep away by backing up, and enough firepower to kill you.

Dosent matter, I have save my base tons of times from flame rushs. How i stay alive is i stay at a doorway shooting engys that are repairing the flamers then i take out the tanks and when am damaged i just buy a refill. And if you have your team repairing the buildings they wont even destroy a single building using that tactic.

Only 8 tanks per side and if they meet my teams tanks while we where repairing the bulidings and I was a mobious they would still have wasted there money(attack would have failed).

If you go in with a few Flame tanks, when the building starts getting repaired faster than you can quickly damage it, quickly move to another building, leaving one tank attacking the original building. Most times they'll lose one of the buildings. Flame Tanks are definately Nod's best assault vehicles, but mobile artillery are the ultimate sniper killers, and are very good in defensive/support role. On Under, you can sit on the refinery side of the airstrip and pound tanks attacking the airstrip. This often makes the difference in breaking up the attack.
