Using a lcg only does 1 bar per 100 shots, meaning you take off 4 bars , plus another 4 from timed c4, I'm not 100% sure, but I've done lcg with timer before and failed all times, while i've killed a building with sbh and timed c4 about 5-6 times.

Yeah...a Volt also causes much damage much faster. Plus, if an engi tried to stop you, you can melt him and get his C4 and finish off the building.

But I think the thread is about "cheap building taky-downers" not "expensive building taky-downers."

Volt auto rifle could be counted cheap taky downer, because your camping there attacking the mct, not camping with a med attacking the building.

I think the cannon and tower mod should be coded more, like you cant buy it out of your base, because putting your defense in a enemy base is kinda stupid.

Don't see why it's stupid as you could build anything, anywhere in an map on the RTS versions of Command & Conquer.

Nothing like building some French Great Cannons next to an enemys base in RA2. Big Grin

The thing is in the RTS games, an MCV is needed nearby to build defenses around it.

I am not sure if that would work in a team-work based environment like Renegade especially since only few people know what teamwork is really.

i agree that there's gotta be some controll of where people can build. you try having gdi build 15 mini agts in nods base on under and try to like the build anywhere rule. there should also be a limit to how many any one person can build or a time limit, like you gotta wait 5 minutes between building those defenses

It's less than 30, about 20-25 seconds, I've placed ion beacon before and c4 as backup, the timers went off before the ion so i detonated the remotes and killed them building, then 5-10 seconds later the ion goes off and does nothing lol

A Timed needs 30 Seconds + 1 Second reload till you can throw the second Timed C4.

The ion and nuke both take about 45 seconds to go off, not 30.

It isn't with those characters, but one thing I've tried to do twice, but hasn't worked cuz of Nod SBHS >.> . Is on city if my team starts majorly loosing buildings and for whatever reason i got my hands on a stank. I'd go behind the HON with it and try to beacon (had mines both times). Would work if nod didn't sbh whore so much... X.x
