If anything it's easier to SBH nuke, last match I did, I nuked 3 buildings because what seemed like lack of understanding and teamwork, I even hijacked the enemy vehicle they left trying to find me after I blew up the WF. Server got kinda deserted after that....
must have been the other team not taking care ...
stealing is easy now cuz of the huge amount of fresh meat who do not know the basics yet
in general a SBH is more easy to see, I see them more easy now than in classic renegade
the laserrifle has an insane spread, makes it very useless imho
and hotwires/engis can carry sidearms like tiberiumrifle ... those kill any infantery in seconds due to the splash
