167 credits? and I thought I was generally talking about you killing yourself for a tibgun. Anyways, if it was me and i had 167 credits i would never buy a tib sydney to kill vehicles. Never. If i was desperate, or the team was unprepared, as you put it.. I would get enough to buy a rocket soldier(at the very least) since it can kill a stank in a mere 18 seconds compared to 40 seconds for a sydney. a good deal considering it's only 75 dollars more(which isn't hard to get if there's stanks because you can just shoot them with your rifle and get it in your second reload. but truely the best unit for defence for GDI is the gunner or pic.
As for infantry killing, your most effective (aside from snipers) would be an officer, a mere 25 more credits. It shoots twice as fast and does the same damage and it reaches its target quicker. the projectiles for the tib sydney are so slow that you can often dodge them. another pro for the officer is that since it shoots more rounds per second you can kill them quicker because you can get more headshots.
also, no, i don't often come across servers that people rush in with stealth tanks because often times i'm in their base preventing them from buying vehicles; meanwhile there's teammates in our base buying tib sydneys and snipers while i'm left alone in their base. Nod can't buy any vehicles = good game.. it's a big shame the people in our base don't recognize this and buy tanks as soon as they can to help. The only time where a stank rush works when I'm playing is probably in city flying, and that's mostly due to the lack of vehicles out in the field. If the tanks would go in spots where stanks would have to go through to get to our base than the stanks would not come through because i'd see them shooting the tank.
in conclusion: tibsydney sucks horridly.. It's like the tmp of renegade. take the words of someone who's a good player and has been playing for a long time. i don't know exactly how to teach good ways to play because i guess when you play mostly on publics and never had much chance for clanwars against good clans, that you never have a chance to learn. since for the most part you really never need to since the majority of the people who play this game don't repair when they are about to lose a vehicle against something they could have over repaired. they don't repair on the tib field if they're worried about sbhs. they'll either let the enemy take it or they'll die.
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

I've discovered that, with enough skill, a Shotgunner can kill an Artillery. And a Stealth Tank apperantly. I killed an Artillery with a Shotgunner and wounded another and a Stealth Tank. I also got booted because Renguard didn't pick up me entering the server. I got disconnected, accidentally hit "abort" on the "Disconnecting from server..." box, and then rejoined. Before I got booted, I manage to kill three Nod Soldiers, two Nod Engineers and ALMOST a Technician with a Shotgunner. One of the Engineers was standing still repairing, and so was the Technician, but I got booted before I could drop the Technician.
Someone used the Force Renguard command on me, and since Renguard didn't pick up that I rejoined the server, I got booted. Poor me, I almost won the siege for GDI. We were attacking their Con Yard on Metropolis, and I ran into it, and killed a Nod Soldier, an Engineer, and 4 mines. Almost got the Technician, too! I was like one second away from killing him! Anyway, I retract my statement that a Shotgunner can't kill an MRLS, since I proved myself wrong.

That doesn't take skill on the part of the shotgunner, it relies on the fact the artillery driver is a complete dumbass whose keyboard doesn't respond.

You'd be surprised how well shotgunners work. Killing an MRLS is pretty easy with one if you approach the back of the MRLS from the side, and make sure to never get in front or behind it. One bad thing is, if they are skilled and get up against a wall, you're pretty much dead. 
Also, the damage with headshots is awesome. Close range and they're dead.  No matter what soldier. I once got accused of cheating because I killed 4 or 5 saks clustered together in a few seconds. I'm glad that I had rg on and was friends with the admin of the server(who was one of the saks).
Edit: Killing an art with a shotgun is a lil harder though... But possible.

You'd be suprised at how fun they are to play, too! I ran around as a Sniper on one map, and then again when the next one rolled around. I died, and swapped to the Shotgunner. When I did, I noticed a dramatic increase in my Anti-Vehicle and Anti-Personel effectiveness. I died alot, but it was worth it! That's the most fun I've had on Renegade in a long time.

Yeah. I love playing as a shotgunner.

A buggy will never take out a healthy mammy. I don't care how close you get, or how shitty the opposition is. If this happens, the player is either AFK, a special needs human or just trying to hinder his/her team. A shotgun trooper vs an mrl? hmm, a simple engineer has 2 remote c4 and 1 timed just in case. If in a rare situation I happened to be a shotgun trooper taken on an mrl. I believe I would toss my timed c4 on it. I am almost positive that 1 timed or 2 remote c4 are sufficient means to neutralize an mrl, arty, buggy, hum-v, orca, Apache, Havoc, Sakura, Hotwire, tech, ect...
A buggy against a mammy! lol, I saw a similar topic before. A buggy taking out an apc and some mediums at field!!! LOL
A side note to the absurd, I have taken a personal challenge of a GDI gunner vs a light tank. After 6 quick kills of his elite gunner, he didn't want to play any more. He finally got the picture and has moved on to other characters and better tactics. still a n00b ass though

You mean decrease? A sniper is no more than a point whore on heavy armor vehicles, but is quite effective on the light armor ones. And unless you snipe from inside a building the shotgun trooper is not the anti personnel character of choice. Even inside a building the remote c4 is arguably the best weapon.
Here is a trick you might not know. TACTIC AND STRATEGY TO FOLLOW!!! If you have no proximity mines available, and use remotes to fortify a building. After you lay the mines you can change to a shotgun trooper and the alt-fire button will still detonate the mines. Stop laughing, I'm positive a n00b will read this. POSITIVE

You show the intelligence of an amoeba. You don't have a clue do you? You wouldn't know a clue if it ran up to you and shouted "I AM A CLUE!"
First of all, not only is "n00b" the most pathetically overused, unintelligent, dim-witted, non-offensive, boring, tedious, retarded, mind-fuckingly wearisome of insults commonly used today but ironically, it makes you look the idiot.
Anybody who uses the "insult" n00b, makes me want to force feed them sulphuric acid.
The word has actually grown so old that it infuriates me to see 12-year old morons such as yourself acting the big man when you use it.
Please do us all a favour and relocate to the underside of a falling anvil.
