Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) and Tanks are formidable vehicle threats encountered in Open Combat Missions and some linear missions. They have heavy armor and powerful weaponry.
Weaknesses:
- Launchers: RPGs, JOKRs, and Pila launchers are specifically designed to destroy vehicles.
- Explosives: C4, Semtex, and Frag Grenades can damage or disable them, especially if thrown at the engine compartment (rear).
- Underbarrel Grenade Launchers: Some assault rifles can be equipped with these for additional explosive damage.
- Air Support: If available, calling in a precision airstrike or chopper gunner can quickly neutralize them.
Strategy:
- Prioritize Launchers: Always carry a launcher if you anticipate vehicle threats. Scavenge for them in supply crates.
- Target Rear Armor: Vehicles are typically weakest at the rear, where the engine is located. Try to flank them.
- Use Cover: Vehicles have powerful weapons. Stay behind solid cover and only expose yourself to fire when ready to shoot.
- Distraction: Use tactical equipment like Decoy Grenades to draw their attention, or let AI teammates engage them while you reload or reposition.
- Multiple Hits: Most vehicles require multiple hits from launchers or explosives to destroy. Be persistent.
