I always wondered what is the best flag on Castle Warfare. There are many flags like wings, stealth, geno etc. but what I want to know is which is the best at getting in the kills. Geno is good but u die looking for it and GM is also good but its slow and hard work.

Stealth. Just gotta learn how to use it wisely

Depends on your style really. My fav is GM

when ur team is winning, use st at the enemy's groundfloor. Itll keep raining tanks
If not, use gm from the 2,5th floor (u know, the floor with the bridge)

While wings are fun and all, you usually get sniped out of the air by a GM in no time. Of course this is someone who stinks at the game talking so...

depends on what the enemy has.

I always keep close watch of the score board to see the balance of enemy lasers vs gms

stealth, however, works all the time

It really depends on how skilled you are at the game. I have listed the best for two skill levels below:

Beginner: Use Stealth or Cloaking to go into the enemies base. Use the jumping pads on the side of the game to give your enemies and extra surprise.

Expert: Use either Guided Missile, Cloaking, or Stealth to get up the the Genocide tower. Take the Genocide flag (but be careful to drive into flags slowly, so if you get a bad one you won't fall off), then decide how you think the best way to get an enemy with it is (go to their base, go to your base and wait for them, go to a triangle below, wait at the top of the Genocide tower, wait in the center)

Hope that helps!

wildrune11 refers to the Missile War 2.3 By Ducatiwannabe [2 Team CTF] map. Castle Warfare - Laser AND GM Sniping! is a (very) different map.

Bullet Cather: yes, you are correct. I only realized I was writing about the wrong map after I posted

it kinda depends on what everyone has, and what you want to do. if you want to take a risk and go into the enemy base (which could pay off or be a waste of time ) then use st (or cl if most people have laser), or if you want to get points the longer but safer way, then use gm or laser. but my favorite is to use st to get to the enemy base and find wgs on the ground there, and then use that

I think stealth is good too, you just have to be good at killing people before they see you. If your not good at predicting where your target will be when your bullets reach them, laser is a good solution
