As promised here is the data i collected about infantry damage to buildings. Most of the infantry in the game will run out of ammo in exactly one minute if u hold down the fire button, but a few have slightly more time. Notably the grenadier (80s), PIC(90s), stealth black hand(100s), and probably the sniper as well (i didnt test this). I've converted all of the data into a damage/min rate and left out those i feel do mimimal damage to buildings.So without further ado, the chart:
gunner/rocket soldier.....6.5/min
grenadier.................5.4375/min
PIC/Ravenshaw.............4.0/min
mobius/mendoza............5/min
patch.....................3.9/min
chem warrier..............4.25/min
BH heavy assault..........3.9/min
BH stealth................3.0/min
flamerthrower.............2.5/min
engineer..................-6.0/min
tech/hotwire..............-12.0/min

vehicles(extrapolated from earlier data)
medium tank........10.9090/min
mrls...............14.2857/min
mamoth shells......15.3846/min
rockets.....23.0769/min
light tank.........9.2308/min
flame tank.........17.1429/min
stealth tank.......17.1429/min
mobile artillery...16.2162/min

Also most weapons seem to do double damage when shot at the mct.

I hope this infomatoin helps u form new strategies and make intelligent decisions about how to take out buildings. As for me, im off to put some of my own strategies into action on the battlefield. l8r

btw the numbers refer to how many health bars damaged per minute.

Thanks for posting that, I couldn't find it the first time.

Oh, and ACK, if you noticed, it was NOD--/--TIME--/--SHOTS. All are capitalized, :. even if it is Nod, it should be Spelled NOD in this instance. You are right most of the time tho .

Actually, I think it might be the same for vehicle weapons hitting the MCT. It's difficult in most cases, but sometimes you can hit it on certain buildings with certain vehicles. It seemed to go down faster, but with so much else going on at the same time it's hard to tell for sure.

rocket soldiers and gunner do same amount of damage??
flame thrower is faster than chem??
and i think only c4 and repair gun is more effective at MCT. Actually, im sure of it

Sure the Rocketeer hurts as much as Gunner. Same gun. Gunner can shoot twice as fast and has more health though.

Is the damage indo on infantry from attacking outside of the biulding, or hitting the MCT

Eh, where did you hear that? He said flame does 2.5 bars/min of damage, while chem does 4.25 bars/min. So chem is a lot faster.

i think its outside

That would make sense, 'cause the chem trooper can destroy a building alone, he runs out of ammo in a minute and does 4.35 bars/min of damage, which means it has to be from the outside, as 4.25 bars isn't the whole building.
