A stealth gen trick that's great for mod maps! (c) Mole40k

A big problem with the nod stealth generator is that’s just too easy to beat. A good player will mark your base with waypoint markers when they scout you, which means they normally know where everything is before you even get a stealth generator. So you may ask, why get one at all?

Well there is one use for the humble stealth generator, and it works particularly well on mod maps. The trick is this:

-> Build a stealth generator
-> Power down the stealth generator
-> When enemy planes are inbound and just near enough to start attacking your buildings, turn the stealth generator on. This forces your opponent to reassign the attack command (this even forces the reassigning of force-fire commands!)
-> Turn stealth off again, and repeat



This screenshot gives a good idea of how the tactic works. The blue bombers were forced to turn back by the stealth generator trick, thus giving the sams more time to shoot them down. This is a great trick for breaking up groups of banshees and/or bombers so you can save more buildings. It also does significantly more damage to the attacker’s units! (c) Mole40k
