Some snipers have really good, insane aim. Put them in an apache or an orca and they can kill someone in a matter of seconds. Literally a matter of seconds.
What is the best way to defend against this?
Also, what is the best way to move around so that it is hard for your opponent to hit you with a sniper at close range?

No way!
Wow I never knew this. This is a revelation.
Obviously I can take an orca down with a bloody sniper. But If I couldn't get my hands on a ramjet...
I'll try what you said Vegeta.

I think iron fart is talking about how to use a character to kill a godly orca or apache, not a tank. Well, the GDI soldier is good against the apache but the Nod soldier is awful against the orca....I've always considered this a bug because both aircraft are equally powerful and there's no reason Nod's rifle should do any less damage to them than GDI's. Come on black hand studios, patch this problem up - I don't think a single person will have a problem with it as it is clearly unfair for Nod.

Pic/rav does a pretty good job of it. Although either way they'd be lucky to get 2 shots off on me

Orcas and Apaches are most definitely not the same. Orcas own Apaches, their machinegun has a longer range. It isn't technically much, but in a straight orca vs. apache fight the orca has a clear advantage.
Although, Apaches are quieter so draw less attention to themselves.
GDI infantry are superior to Nod infantry, and this shouldn't be changed, it's just one of the things which differentiate the two sides. EG, GDI has better base infantry, Nod has stealth options.

Orca's can fly higher as well, shoot faster. If you get at close range and just hold down the chain gun orca will kill an apachee without losing half its health

The odd thing about the Orca and Apache is that the mod tools say they have different weapons, but in the game both use the same machine gun. I think the effective range of the Apache is less because it doesn't give you targeting as far as the Orca, but I believe the guns do have the same real range. The Apache's rockets are also supposed to be slower and turn faster, but again they use the same type in game.
I know what you're talking about, but I am pretty sure both guns have the same real range in the game, even if the targeting says otherwise.
I think the size and shape of the in-game models for each aircraft is a bigger advantage, honestly.

I think it has more to do with the gun placement than it does the range, though. I'm not arguing the point, I find orcas to be better personally, but in function they are pretty similar. It's only vs. each other that their differences become performance-affecting.

You thought wrong, I could fight your apachee with my orca 100 times, you wouldn't ever win...

I'm not COMPLETELY obsessed with renegade.
