Stalker additional impressions after playing a dozen or so more matches with it:

-The false idea that hitting the stealth button = invincibility must be overcome. It's wrong. Rockets will blow you away just the same! Punishers and Plasma weapons at close range too (Molots at longer range, not really).

-Plan for what happens AFTER the 8 short seconds of stealth ends! It's like in 8-Ball, think of the next shot and your set-up after the present one.

-The elevation thing I mentioned below is a really, really important thing to use. If you are alone on a different elevation than the red mechs and in stealth mode than you actually are pretty much invincible...for 8 short seconds.

-Stay away from other blue mechs in stealth mode, that's how the red mechs can range in on you. They can lock on your nearby teammates but manually aim at you no matter what your elevation.

Thoughts on weapons: -Magnums allow you to inflict damage in your entire 8 second stealth period but you'll be exposed when the stealth ends -Pinatas and Aphids are a "quick hit" and allow you to be back under cover by the time stealth wears off.

Lastly, sometimes you just need to play as a normal mech, not worrying about stealth and hiding. Don't get too hung up on the special ability, stay focused on winning the match.
