Drawing obelisk fire in "under" [message #-972635]

Playing as GDI in Under last night, and I hit on probably an unoriginal, but worth sharing tip for GDI armour attacks. It may only works on maps where the obelisk has limited field of fire, but anyway:

- We were pounding away and they were countering in mini-rushes (light and stealth tanks) with the odd BH chain gunner.

- Out of the blue a hummer full of (presumably) beacon/C4 ready characters sprinted thru the gap and got toasted.

- Next rush, I heard the tyre screech and moved my med tank into line of fire of the obelisk. Knowing that a med can take 2-3 shots before being destoyed, I was OK and the hummer team made short work of the obelisk.

Of course, it depends on how well/luck you co-ordinate things AND have support to meet the expected counter attack. Credit to whoever it was that posted the number of obelisk hits armour can withstand - that was the inspiration

THis would work fine but sadly to many people dont want their tank hurt and wont take the damage in return for the ob's destruction

Be a Hotwire, and rush the Obelisk yourself. Your Med Tank will make it, still draw fire off the Hummer crew, and let you get the points for destroying the Obelisk. Don't ever sit in the open drawing fire, at least try to do some damage yourself. In Under, the Obelisk is easy to toast if you go at it with a Med Tank. Prox mine your Tank when you get out! More than once I've done this after jumping out, and heard 'boink' from inside the building

BTW- It takes only 1 Flame Tank to toast the AGT in Under.

one flame tank if theres no defense... now seriously, one of THE MOST POWERFUL STRATEGIES (we've done this extensively on the forum game server) is to MEDIUM rush... same cost as flamers, slightly less damage, longer range... now, often, we'll have 5-7 mediums sitting around base preparing to rush and suddenly a full fledged flame rush of 2-7 flamers roll in... flamers win right? WRONG. MEDIUMS OWN FLAMERS IN LARGE GROUPS. on hourglass,i have seen a medium rush over the top take out the obelisk before the mediums are HALFWAY DOWN...

The Medium Tank rushes work really well! I am glad someone understands.
Oh, and it is true that it takes one Flame Tank to destroy the GDI Advanced Guard Tower....if there's no one around either to attack you or repair the GDI Advanced Guard Tower!!!
