A replacement for the Tiberian Sun Stealth tank ( https://forums.revor...-hints-tips-42/ ), there are a couple of changes that mean that usage of this tank feels very different to the version it replaces.

 

Changes

The first change is that because the Renegade Stealth tank has treads, it can run infantry over. The fact that the wheeled TS Stealth tank could not run infantry over was a big deal. Using the speedy Stealth tank to run over infantry was a standard tactic in C&C3, that was not doable in Tiberian History.

So this is an obvious improvement.

 

The other change is that this Stealth tank fires a volley of 2 missiles, rather than the 5 that the TS Stealth tank did. To make up for this, this Stealth tank has a much shorter wait before the next volley is ready.

The thing is that a number of Stealth tank users (including myself!) prefer doing greater damage in each attack burst, rather than a smaller, lower damage, burst with shorter reload. The idea being that the Stealth nature of the tank means that once you go to attack (and reveal yourself), you want to do as much damage as possible in as short a period of time as possible, before retreating.

 

With 'Blue tiberium mix' upgrade!

 

This comes down to personal preference. This Stealth tank has a slightly longer attack range then the TS version, which you will find useful when using the new attack style. And of course you can still benefit from the powerful Blue tiberium Mix upgrade.
