The light vehicles are the fastest land vehicles in the game, useful for rushing control points and M-COM stations at the start of a battle. But their light armor and exposed positions make them death traps if driven into heavy action.
Most explosive munitions can destroy these vehicles with one hit, killing everyone inside. Their greatest defensive asset is their speed and off-road capability.
To ensure survival, use these vehicles to traverse terrain on a map’s periphery and stay away from heated battles near control points and M-COM stations.
Although these vehicles can attain high speeds on roads, most roads are used by larger and more deadly vehicles. Stay off road and out of sight. Such tactics are essential when staging raids on distant enemy-held control points or M-COM stations.
Light Vehicle Tactics
The roof-mounted machine guns found on most of these vehicles are excellent anti-aircraft guns. Fire a steady burst of automatic fire at enemy helicopters to make them spin out of control.
Think twice before loading your entire squad into one of these vehicles. All it takes is one hit from a tank or rocket launcher to destroy your ride, potentially killing your entire squad.
Given their speed, the light vehicles are great for scoring road kills. Simply drive directly toward enemy troops at high speed and run them down before they can dash out of your way.
Passengers in these vehicles can fire the weapons from their troop kits, but accurately targeting enemies out of a moving vehicle is tough. It’s often better to save your ammo for when the vehicle reaches its destination.
At the start of a battle, don’t drive off in one of these vehicles until a few teammates hop inside. Stranding teammates at your base won’t win you any fans. However, your squadmates can spawn into the vehicle if there are open seats.
