Get a transport chopper and fly to the right side of the oppositions base you can hide behind one of the buildings without getting hit by the obelisk/guard tower. Once you get there you can fly behind the power plant. You may be hit once by the tower but it won't destroy you're chopper. Land behind the power plant and run in to destroy it, with C4 or an Ion/Nuclear beacon.

Then just defend yourself till its blown and you can escape in you're chopper. You can also fly behind the power plant and keep going and blow up the building next door instead.

These aren't tactics it's commen since.

Tactic: An expedient for achieving a goal; a maneuver.

What I described was a maneuver so therefore a tactic. Although it could not have been devised without common sense.

Unfortunately, not everyone knows how and where to properly place proxy C4 on that map. The power plant is probably the number one C4 raid target, whereas the barracks is probably the last target. At the beginning of the game, I usually put 5 mines at the back 3 entrances (2 doors on power plant, 1 on refinery), the back entrance to the weapons factory (or Hand of Nod), and the AGT/Obelisk. The remaining 5 mines usually go to the power plant. That way in case a bunch of Engineers go raid the enemy base and use remote C4, the power plant will still have proxy c4 place in it.

For this map, I really wish we could use more proxy C4.

Yea, I often see, for example, the barracks mined not where the doors are, but where the two sandbags meet. I always figured that if the enemy came with an APC, they could just run over the mines so the APC takes the damage, while what's inside gets out unharmed. I'd say that all Hotwires should know this.

Just waiting on the big enemy building stealth offcourse to steal a heli.
Normally i would leave my apache on the roof so some gdi thinks hey an apache and lands his orca on the roof. So i takes his orca and he takes my apache. Nice Trade Isn't it.
But it's better to leave a c4 on your heli. And wait for someone to repair his orca.

Second one still the funniest one. Look at the picture. http://www10.brinkster.com/dmc2002/screenshot265.jpg

On TOP of the tiberium refinery
Most of the time this tactic cost 1900 credits. It's just the question if the heli or you can make up there. Just try t sometimes and you can do it to. And yes this is te complex map with heli....

If you are walking right in your either playing on servers with less than 10 people or all Noobs. Every time I play City, air or not I get kills on the people who think they are "The First One To Ever be So Smart and Come Up With That Plan"!.

I'll be waiting for you. Don't think Patch will mind shootin down your transport. If you servive the crash come on in We'll have hot coffee at the mct, and some nice hot C4 waiting for you all the way there.

I planted a beacon-pedestal. Got back into Orca on roof of HON (very cool, like covert ops or something). Tech came to disarm. Lowered altitude so I could see him in the windows.........OPENED FIRE!!!! Blasted him apart! Reminded me of True Lies when Arnold Schwarzenegger blasted the floor on that sky sc****r. Best maneuver EVER!

Normally i just fly on top of a building drop my beacon and defend it. But this will keep you laugh seeing other people trying to land on top of the refinery to disarm it.

It is good to destroy the power plant first then all of their stuff costs double too

Works good as long as I don't see you and kill you. I think the AGT might still fire some shots at you, and I always pay attention to the AGT when it fires at something I didn't notice at first. Also doesn't work when my team is nonexistent and our harvy is destroyed before it can come back.

And as for your idea of bringing people along to help defend, i like to buy a hummer (after ive mined ALL the doors) then ijust patrol the base, the second the people get outta the chopper you just run them over
