Whats the point of LT in nod weponary if you can get arty which is more cost-eff then lt.. Huh Huh Huh Don;t get it.

Anyone uses lt, lol?

Only serious disadvantage about arty is type of armor, it isnt well compared to lt. Well only snipers do MUCH more damage to arty , but flame,machine guns,bio or laser weapons just doubled...

Discuss !

Because it's a good, all around MBT that in the hands of a decent player can kill a medium tank?

Because it is faster and harder to hit than an Arty, can actually hit targets at close range, and is pretty much "sniper" proof because it has heavy armor instead of light? Because the Flame Tank and Stealth Tank both have shit for range, the STank also has shit for armor, and the APC can't do enough damage to stand a chance against a Med? Because it has an extremely low profile and can hide behind low walls in addition to using the same "drive backwards, hide behind cover" tactics that also work for the Arty? Because it is fast and agile enough to evade most of the enemy's return fire?

The answer is "all of the above." Lights kick ass. A group of Arties is made far, far stronger by the addition of one or two Lights in support. Rushes get through the field with more of their strength intact if a Light is around to pick off or suppress midfield threats. Lights can operate independent of repair support because they combine a respectable amount of firepower with both the armor to survive and the speed to run away. That little tank is butter to the bread of any successful Nod team.

LT is one of the most versatile battle tanks in Renegade.

Light tank can dodge other tank shots better than any other tank in game, it has better armour than artillery.

At distance a light tank can take pretty much any other tank due to its dodge capabillities and its faster shot.

Try rushing out with 3 artys on 3v3 field. You will get raped, 3 lts = you have a good chance.

And if you're good enough, you can take out a med tank with a light tank because of it's speed and ability to dodge a med tank's bullets.

Thats true but only at longer ranges, in close and medium ranges its way easier to predict shoots,movemeant.

Another question Med or Lt ? And why.

Med or LT could be debated until the cows come home. The greatest advantage the LT has that isn't skill-dependent is the difference in price- they can be fielded earlier in the round and are more easily replaced if lost.

Anyway, we have a few other threads that cover Med vs. Light far more extensively.

If I follow your logic... what do you do against a team with 5 organized Havocs? They instagib artys without a chanche of repairing. Lights have a problem with PICteams.


in renegade theres always a perfect counter. A all out one thing NEVER WORKS against smart enemys. Artyonly have difficulties against Ramjets and Meds against pics+arts.


Thanks.

Lights are the bomb. If I'm on Nod, and not in a light you can assume:

A) I don't have enough money
B) The strip is dead
C) I've a good reason to use anything else (such as an incoming rush, so I'm teching a building)

Lights are the bomb. Read Spoony's strategy guides on www.renegadewiki.com . I started using lights after that, and never looked back (except when running away)


Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Well, my opinion is, that it always depends on the map, the state of the battle and the goal you want to reach with your vehicle.

I know A LOT of situation on different maps, where artys instead of LTs makes a lot of sense!

without lights, Nod would utterly fail against a decent GDI team on city/cityfly, field, under or walls/wallsfly.

same can be said for arties if you name some different maps (most obviously field, mesa and any rushmap)

...gee, I wonder why a small, fast tank with less armor than either of the other 'conventional' tanks in the game would be called the "Light Tank?" That's not very self-explanatory!

I always thought the light tank meant it had a giant beam of light that would shoot out every time you ran someone over.

I was disappointed Sad.
