I was playing Renegade the other day and I clicked on Humm-vee by mistake and I thought I may as well use it since I payed for it and I found the Humm-vee very usefull, I took out 2 flame tanks one arteraly a buggy and a stealth tank + loads of infantry. Considering the Humm-vee is cheap low armor and fast it is VERY good value for money so I think another good tactic would be to use it more often when attacking large/slow tanks because it is fast and the tanks cant shoot you and runing over infantry is soo easy. Using the Humm-vee's speed to your advantage is so simple but no one seams to see the importace of the humm-vee... by the time they have the cash for they can chose between an APC or MRLS so they dont bother with one (many times I have been loled at for buying a Humm-vee instead of a tank but in the end I'm usally the last tank on my team standing since It's hard to it me (or im just such a good driver  ) --- Sorry for any bad spelling its 1AM and im a little tired...

Also the Humvee or buggy rush at the start of a level without defences can be good. On Isalnds Nod Buggy rushed and we managed to keep GDI bottled up, if they bought anything light (MRLS or Humvee) it was slaughtered, anything else like a Med tank was stolen.

Humvee tactic in city map... Just get a hummvee in city map if your gdi.. In the beginning everybody says attack powerplant so what you do.
Get a adv engi. Get in the hummvee and take the closest way to the hand of nod. Now drive fast to the doors of hand of nod. If you did this right you didn't get shot by obelisk. Now drive on further next to the hand of nod straight to the airstrip and then right the obelisk. If you do this right you get in the obelisk with full health.
In city mostoftimes the weaponfac and pp gets mined first and everybody wants to destroy the pp so why not take the obelisk.

Also the Humm-vee is very good at taking out mammoth tanks because they are too slow at moving the turret... most people try to turn the WHOLE tank and that take too long lol

humm vees are easily killed by normal machine gun troops and this makes them rather useless. No matter how many troops they lose, it hardly matters, they are free any way.
Officers own humm vees
save up and spend on the MRLS or APC if you really want the machine gun.
Oh yeah, humm vees are great kamaikaze units and decent sniper platforms( considering you cant get on most other vehicles)
Nice steamrollers tooI love kamikaze

The only map where I've found the Hummer to have any tactical use is in Field and City, where you can not only do extra damage to the enemy harvester, but also provide quite efficient close fire support against those on Nod trying to destroy your Harv. The Hummer/Buggy is incredible for quick assaults on non-Ob/AGT maps, but I've found that on those maps even the most disorganized of teams does kinda set up even a p*ss-poor defense against vehicular incursions. Gimme a medium tank anyday - it can take three Ob shots (barring other fire) before dying and if you need more than 2 hotwires or one escort to blow a building, you're doing something wrong.

easy way to hammer a hummy into oblivion with the mammy. turn both the tank and the turret in the same direction at the same time. effectivly the turret is now spinning at twice the speed. fire on the hummy. now when hes cmoing up your side move forward some. this will cause him to go straight for a instant. hammer him again, start the double spin hammer him again. no more hummy.

belive it or not, i pretty much when im nod use the nod buggy, i find it like the best unit, i use it either to ferrie ppl around the map, run infantry down, or the best thing to do, kill mamoths, i destroyed soooo many mamoths with just a buggy, it takes a bit of time but dam its worth it, its cheap to and with its speed u can easily dodge its shells and misslils, even mediums and mrls's r easily killed, the worst thing for a buggy i think is either a apc, humvee, or sum guy with a strong automatic weapon, but with some skill, and sometimes luck u can kill them.

Oh, hummers and buggies are usually useless... With all of the newbies on the servers trying to be snipers, buggies and hummers just get owned. I like the apc better for the purposes described because it has decent armor, and almost the same speed.

I dont know what the hell you guys are talkin about. Hummers can be easily destroyed by any infantry and and vehicle. They also really suck against armor no matter how fast they are.

Id prefer to get an apc over a hummer. For 150 credits more you get 300 more armor, a heavier armor class, and the abilty to carry 2 extra ppl all at the cost of a little less speed. Plus, the apc is a bigger threat psychologically to your opponents, as they will suspect that you are attempting an engineer rush and may start targetting you over you allies tanks, giving them a chance to take over the field.

buggy>hummer>apc line 'o death... and of course, stealth tank>all
Oh yes, and the hummer DOES have a vast advantage over any larger vehicle: It doesn't slow down as much when turning. Anything bigger practically stops when turning tightly, which gives the buggies and hummers a chance to OwN if the driver doesn't have turret camera on... WHich few n00bs do.

on the map, urban rush, since I don't like it alot, ill buy an apc and drive around and run people over and be a distraction, its actually a good idea What will the med tanks shoot at, the 3 light tanks, or the apc that keeps bumping them?

Urban rush is the worst piece of F*cking sh!t imaginable... The level is horribly unbalanced towards Nod...
