No ied's in sight?.....use this!!!

Post by HughJass »

Well, if you ever have run out of ieds, dont have any, just take that 4x4 huge un balanced white truck that seems to be there for fun, and drive it full speed in to an apc's side or the front. The front usually works great because of the warriors sharp "nose" but side works fine too. If you do it right, the apc should start moving or have flipped or whatever already :mrgreen:

A hot spot for easy apc kills is the hotel or anywhere by the river. Sometimes it is hard to get the apc from the front or side but if you are close to that "hot spot" then you can safley drive the truck in to the back and push the warrior in to the lake. I have done it 3 times :)

BTW thanks to the devs for giving this truck tank like strength :twisted:

Better still .. stash the truck and reload off it :|

Beats wasting an unlimited ammo point dont you think?

Using a technical as an improsived boomcar works well too. They don't really expect it to go boom most of the time :p

The white trucks are probably the best RPGer vehicle, it has good cover, it is all-terrain (mostly) and gives ammo, and yet no one ever uses it so it is almost always available.

I use it when I set up IEDs near the brits base on basrah, then some apc blows my technical up and leaves me with no c4 :(

And, the technical is best for IED'ing on basrah, say the brits get pissed for "rapin" their base with IEDs, just get on that .50 and tear away, and if need be, drive away and shoot at them from time to time :P

I have no idea how can you call that white piece of flipping **** an all terrain vehicle. If some people complain that commander trucks area easy to flip over, then this thing beats CO truck terribly.
I can't count the times I had to end my sabotage tour just because this damn think ended on its roof :-D .


Anyway, it's pity to waste these trucks by suiciding. Much better use is to take an RPG guy with you, who can then resupply and even shoot from the car. Yet another usage is to take some ambushers on your back and make them toss mines and C4 (yet again, unlimited ammo :-P ).

good point, its like when driving in the truck you get shot by the cannon in the warrior, shame it doesn't take a chunk out of your car, just like the Barrett would do. ;)

Burn the heretic! Yes, that white truck is a "flipping piece of ****", but the CO truck is absolute badass.

My commander told me to drive him to the south side of the city from the refinery, so I looked at the map and told him we were going to do a balls-to-the-wall Mad Max run through the city. I drive south right in front of the mosque, honked at a bunch of insurgent cars driving by the other way, and went south out of the city. Once clear of the city, we had cars on our tail, so I swung a right and flew into the dunes.

I tell you what, if you hit them head on, the CO truck will get great airtime. We Evil-Kinivel'ed across the desert, got a commanding lead, then hopped out and started shooting the cars. One dude got an RPG hit on the CO truck, but it lived because - get this - I made that wild ride across the desert without any damage at all. You hit the ramp cockeyed and you'll flip, but straight on, you'll fly and have a good landing.

I think they should make those trucks the technicals, they have much better suspension.

True, but it is fun to ram enemy vehicles into rivers, off cliffs, into mines, et cetera.
