Talk:Nod Armored Personnel Carrier

The NOD APC can pull double duty as an anti-aircraft battery as well as anti-infantry defense due to the damage and fire rate of it's mini-gun. It is particularly effective at destroying fleeing aircraft and running over (squishing) infantry. Camping an APC outside the underground entrances can suppress enemy infantry assaults and dispatch weak infantry (such as Hotwire) fairly quickly, thus preventing them from planting beacons and charges on NOD structures. The APC is NOT effective against enemy armor, but sustained harassment fire can help other armored vehicles defend from a push, and allow tanks to push into enemy territory. Light vehicles are a particularly weak target for the APC, as they are easy enough to hit continuously with sustained fire. The MLRS specifically is a large target, slow and unable to react or target at close ranges, making the APC effective at distracting and neutralizing MLRS rushes if it can get close enough without suffering the MLRS' high damage return fire. Supporting infanty can avoid being sniped or finished off by hiding inside the APC, as it is intended to get teammates into the fight quickly and back to back to base just as rapidly.
