I like flames. they are cheaper that mammys, but can still kill one. i have killed a full health mammy many times with a flame. many times the drivers have been very good. but sometimes they have been noobish. i just know that ive been called noobish for buying a flame and killing that mammy camping outside our base, when everyone else was paying 100 more for stealth tanks and getting blown up.

i know other posts have been talking bout this lately, but they are old or only talk bout flames and stealths...

i dont want to bump an old post so i didn't

Flamers aren't that all purpose vehicles. Theyre great for a 1vs1 vs Everything, if you reach your target with not much damage taken. But fighting tanks? No. I stick to arts in long rage and lights. In bigger games a single flamer is like a big red arrow who screams "hit me or i start hit you"

not to mention their burn-down-buildings-fast ability. If you get a bunch of flamers close to a base and enemy is ill prepared... they probaly loose something what they don't wanna loose.

and if you want stoping mamys, focus them with long range weapons/PICs If you get into the missile range you're toast.
Sometimes it's even possible to kill them with inf in the melee with explosives +flamegun/chemgun but not realistic if mammy comes with childrens (f.e. other GDI fools)


Thanks.

Lights for Nod or Meds for GDI, with a bunch of those on your team you can't lose Thumbs Up unless the other team is extremely skilled. Flame Tanks are most of the times support vehicles, as with Stealth Tanks, Stealth Tanks weren't made for direct assaults, but instead is for hit-and run or sneak attacks. Flame Tanks will destroy ANY vehicle in no time at all if you can get near the enemy in one piece. Mammoth Tanks are good in servers with Points Fix, otherwise they are slow ass point buckets.

im talking bout maps like island, once on that map there were like three mammys right outisde our base, but with four flames i managed to kill them.

THE MATH:

4 flamers = $3200
3 mammys = $4500

you do the math.
pluss mammys cant hit flames that are right in their face, the missles miss, and the guns go fight through the flame doing no damage.

No, if the Mammy drivers are competent and not n00bs, they will swing their turret left and right to hit you with the Tusks.

Flame tanks are total ownage on many maps, but not to take on mammies =/. Unless ofcourse you're on field and the mammy is right outside Nod base on its own and can't see u coming. But what are the odds?

odds are very good on some maps.
then again theres the flame rush...
on siege once with 4 flames we took out the agt in one pass, and later killed the barr and wf. gdi was mad Big Grin hehe
even tho they had a few mammys gaurding their buildings after the agt went down, we won with flame rushes. we won hehe.

First of all, if you don't have something to contribute, keep it to yourself. Second, who are you? Third, Siege is one of the better maps or else BHS wouldn't have put it in a Core Patch Sarcasm

1.Stating he is wrong without evidence that the map sucks is not contributing.

3.Your opinion I understand, but any reasons?

1) Evidence sounds so rude... :[
2) Reason? I never had a Enemy asking for Siege to play, which makes me think every clan we faced yet doesnt like that map.

Probably because those clans couldn't work out tactics on that map yet. Say Under, been played for...6 years, a lot of tactics are on Under Neutral

As was already said, but just to bring up an example, that's not a reason to consider a map good. Look at Terrace. That map is so tipped in favor of Nod. The map has some great design and a good concept, but the base layout isn't fair.

Yeah true...if GDI does not have good Orca pilots and if the team is relaxing, it will become a nightmare.

On one game in the Jelly mappack server, I was in a Orca and I killed 13 stanks, 2 lights, and 1 APC trying to attack my base. And I did not make that up. One of my most memorable games. And there were about 25 players or so in that game. Nod started calling me "camping bitch."

But I agree, Nod has way too much advantage on that map. A stank can easily sneak behind a WF from that hill and lay a beacon and stop over it. I did that once too and succeded. And taking out the GDI ref is piece of cake. That's unfair. The PP location is just unfair too.

Orcas are important in that map...you pretty much have to be straffing the ground around your base all game to find stanks.
