  1. All I want to know is it perma? can I get unbanned now? Do you realize a troll set me up did u even bother to see him do it and mock me after?
  2. Hi Grant I believe their may be corruption AGAIN I was banned after being set up by a troll, now no one allows me to message in this forum, and the ban remains on, check who it is stopping my messages on here is it teh same guy that w as banned as a mod in the lobby? I have been banned it wasnt my fault and now I cant get unbanned or...message anyone on here
  3. CMON Mods not more corruption AGAIN! The troll that set me up wrote as much as I did and mocked me after you didnt even bother to see that b4 u banned me (at least) or ban him, ive got the proof and so do u. The cnc1 game is next to dead with me there, let alone yet another one gone
  4. What does the peak of RA1 ability look like, how does the separation occur because it doesn't SEEM like its an overly complex game and there are limits to speed. But I might be wrong. Who is the current number one and how does he compare to the best of all time? What separates a top player from a mid/high level player typically?
  5. Now this is a test of knowledge. It seems to nearly always be better to simply not use a flame tank, but Ill try my best to give tips and I hope someone that knows how will chime in also. 1) You can mix them in to a group of units, like the AI does in skirmish on RA1 for the allied side, might work this way. Or you can tailor them to defeat a mix of units that may be vulnerable to your counter mix, maybe they have alot of buggies light units etc Or maybe have a combo of bikes and flame tanks used as 2 teams 2) You can do a rarely used tech rush and flame tank rush, ultra early, 1 refinery to airfield, to comm centre catches people out sometimes, probably not a good tip 3) Pence uses it as a surprise tech build, and adds them into the mix early on when the opponent is still using mass buggies, it was a good idea that way as a surprise it worked well but now its no longer a surprise so add the surprise factor in and its a good tactic but not something to use often 4) You can use it as a stand alone unit that goes around the outside of the map to do damage elsewhere as your main force distracts / does teh main damage this can also split their forces and make them weaker (where a engineer apc would be ineffective you can sometimes use the flame tank instead) 5) You can have them safety behind a group of units and only bring them to the front lines or onto a base sprawl etc when they are not so stand out as targets, so they can do that fast damage to their base 6) They seem to work only in very specialized and rare circumstances, so figure those circumstances out to use the Flame tank well, are there lots of vulnerable light buildings? Are there lots of vulnerable light units in a low mobility position? Do I rarely use them so will it throw my enemy off if I now use them in a skillful e.g. early in the buggy vs buggy meta? Can I make a mixed unit attack group to efficiently bust a base down? Will a bike/tank and flame tank combo throw him off? Can I menace a GDI base or split his forces up with a separate group of flame tanks? So the tip is think about how and when they are useful rather than forgetting about them because mostly they are not useful. Yea it isnt easy flame tanks seem to suck, there always seems to be a more conservative and boring approach that works better, unfortunately, and so it seems to make all tips unworthy, if you know any worthy tips that would be cool! But it may be that there are simply are none!?
  6. To anyone that's interested, add additional tips on how to defend engineers, offend with them, or defeat Mike Pence's play style. I recently smashed him like a small Kinder Egg, and I also made the toy, it was a large Rocket ship that travels into space. The rocket reads "made in the USA". 1) He bluffs on troop offence, because he goes one refinery, he cant really afford to defend a continuous troop offence, you can end him immediately if you merely do this and bleed his cash dry. (pick maps that allow easy troop access he will try to choose ones that make troop use difficult) 2) If you go 3-4 refineries and 1-2 helicopters with nod and troop pressure/scouts you can snipe his engineer before it even gets into the APC 3) If you go one refinery you can build a bike immediately and send it as his base to kill the APC on the way back to your base, you should have enough time to do this. 4) The top of the buildings are easiest to capture so have a sand bag, a turret your buggies etc by the top as a default position 5) Be mindful that he will target a loaded refinery if its hard to get to your conyard / airfield so you know roughly when the APC will come so then you can stop a load up in advance if you need to. 6) Its much better to sell the conyard than let him capture it so if in doubt sell early then you have loads of cash to make a counter all in attack. 7) You can jam the game speed to slow when you know his APC is on the way that way it will give you extra time to calm down, infuriate him, and give you extra reaction time, he will also have to try to change game speed back mid APC rush which will make it more likely to fail. He uses a griefers flame tank surprise, so these are easily countered by a plain tank, so you know its coming, so its easy to counter because of that (Pence specific) 9) To defend engineers with troops you need to use the scatter button repeatedly to avoid teh crush, and you need enough troops mix mini gunners and flame troops/naders 10) Be handy with the engineer rush yourself you never want pence to have an advantage in offence or build choice, you need to at least 70% the competency as he has at Engineer rushing 11) You can also defend engineers with the selling of unimportant structures surrounding your important structures, at the right time I have more tips but that will do for now.
  7. Especially where you may use different build orders and have different lay outs. Its just so damn awkward and slow. Any pro tips? Thanks! (Just pure repetition and nothing more?) (lay it where you need it and use only certain units rather than trying to move it all the time?)
  8. Can you unban me and unmute me? Sorry I have very bad impulse control, I will definatelyy shut up now cause Im probably close to the edge which is where I tend to behave. PLEASE I was definitely set up they made as many comments as I did mocked me after and they didnt get a ban.
