Some people believe the APC is only for raiding enemy facilities. Far from it. The APC can be used to distract OPFOR (Opposing Forces)while your your team attacks them. When the enemy finally realizes that you are inflicting the least damage they take aim at your team members then you can usually aim and shoot at your leisure. 50\% of my MVP matches are using the APC to stack up points.
Use superior lateral (sideways) movement. APC's can defeat tanks with psuedo random angular movement. That means make it look random, but move in a general direction to keep the advantage (cover, consilment, and support). Because the APC's turret is up front very little of the vehicle has to be exposed to attack then pull back.
Use the APC to draw the enemy forces out into the open. Even though it takes roughly 2 1/2 to 3 minutes for a APC to destroy light and medium tanks they hate being pecked at by APCs. Pull them out from there base so that your forces can have at them, then come at them when there tank is almost destroyed to cleanup.
Hang with the big boys during a fire fight. By just being in the middle or behind the more pwerful vehicles the enemy has to proiritize who to attack first. Usually they won't pick you unless your charging into their base. Clean up on points while they attack everybody else. If they attack you pull back to let your team beat up on them then move in to cleanup.
APCs can play defence and act as early warning scouts. You can roam the levels looking for enemy rushes, then relaying the info back to base. For GDI APCs just spraying bullets back and forth can detect stealth tanks for your more powerful teammates.
Hope that helps. Bye.

Yeah that's pretty much what I do. It's really funny because most light and stealth tanks won't realize what you're doing until it's too late. A $500 APC can take out a $900 STank pretty easily.

Well said.
APCs are my favorite. They dodge bullets, inflict a good amout of damage and are sniper/raveshaw-killers. Arties have also no chance against an APC. And if the field is cleared, you can still get some mates into it and rush their base ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I don't know about you guys .. but I USE APC's for FLATTENING SBHs, and raveshaws!
Its a great defensive mobile unit as it can run around the building to prevent any sneak attacks!
Its a great way to kill infantry! ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Yes my friend it does rule. The APC kind of says that i can take the least powerful weapon in the game and still take the enemy out. It is the most skillful victory you can have with a vehicle in my opinion, you just won't be blowning up any buildings with it.

the only time a APC is truly useless is when your team is under siege. It's too bad more people don't practice with the APC. 2 skilled APC drivers can have their way with most vehicles if they work in tandem.

Sometimes I host 1vs1 servers with my friends and we play. We decided to only use Flying Maps and to only use APC/Copter armed with a hotty.....needless to say my APC(GDI) took out his apache on many occasions and I eventually destroyed his Refinery by standing near the door and hitting the MCT(I think I was hitting it) blew it up semi fast with some c4 on it......time ran out and I won by like 100 points.....close game tho

Once on field my team used 3 buggy and took control of the field for 10 min. Even blow up med tanks and MRLS and the GDI got annoyed that they cannot even take out 3 buggy.

its called turning your arty following the apc along with the turret.

I was on City (not flying) and I built an APC cause we were getting Stealth Tank rushed. With my APC gun it highlighted the Stealth Tank enough 4 my team to take it out. Well, some guy got in the APC with me. I said "get out" he said "why, you gonna rush alone?" I said "No, this is my guard APC" He said "LOL GUARD APC" I descibed how the APC highlighted the Stealth Tank and now he is a believer in APC guards. I think.

back 2 topic, apcs are 1 of the best, but i prefer 1 thing, i will give clues, it has the same gun, faster, less health and armour, u guessed it, BUGGY! there even better at dodging coz they got wheels and they got a hell lower amound of aero dynamic drag, anotherwords, they pull off quicker and turns with wheels, not 1 track going slower than the other.

A thing nobody has mentioned is that some infantry can actually fire out of the APC. At least, the Soldier can....
I am not sure if the bullets are visible, but i started shooting(as a passenger in an APC) at an enemy harvester on the way to a rush. To my surprise the Harvy started taking damage (minuscule amounts, but still) and my points started going up.
Gunners do not get this benefit, nor engis.
Thats all i know.....
But this opens up possiblities......
Imagine a Med tank seeing an APC, charging at it. Laughing silently when the APC charges back at how n00bish this stupid APC driver is, before the hidden Mendozas unleash their deadly firepower on this clueless tank( invisible remember)
We may be on the era where a couple of APC may turn the tide of a rush completely. I am not sure whether this applies to any other infantry than soldier, but still.......
