get a fast vehicle with a passenger, drive around, overrun enemy rp and fb.
and yes, the overrun system is bs in my opinion.

1337) Don't be aggressive with your TOW HMMWV on Qwai River. It's your team's only mobile defense against the mass horde of Chinese APCs. Lose the TOW and your team will have a much tougher time doing anything.

Thats supported. I was running APC's earlier today and we were massacring because the TOW's kept going down. We won that round too.

1337A) Don't use the WZ551A if you don't want to die. That thing is ineffective IMO.

Players in vehicles don't count towards the rp system.

As for the WZ551, that's an APC, not an IFV. Use it as such and you'll do just fine.

I need to learn how to tell the difference between the two types of vehicles, because right now I can't.

**Katanama** · 06-21-2009, 09:10 AM

The simplest way to split it is that everything with a 20mm canon or above (not tanks) is an IFV and anything below is an APC (excluding recce vehicles and HMMWV). SO you have the following

IFV: Bradley, LAV-25, BTR-90 (not in anymore), Vanilla Chinese, Warrior and BMP-3
APC: Stryker, BTR-60, BTR-80 (when its added) and new Chinese.

In PR the main difference is the gun since they seem to be armed to an equal level (Bradley and BMP-3 excluded).

One is pretty much an armored taxi with some recon ability while the other can ruin your whole day if employed properly.

**Waldo_II** · 06-21-2009, 09:44 PM

One is an Armored Personnel Carrier designed to be a carrier of personnel, while the the other is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle, designed to fight with the infantry.

**Belhade** · 06-22-2009, 12:00 AM

Yeah, I understand. It's the visuals I have a problem with.

Apparently one type has a small chaingun on the top, the other type has a bigass set of rocket launchers.

**Berlancic** · 06-22-2009, 03:14 AM

I think you're right about using these for their proper purposes. Because if you use it for what it was made for, you'll probably survive.
I really want to use the Chinese APC, hope I can catch a night on Qwai.

I have this problem too. I haven't figured out yet the names of everything, or what goes with what map, so I say 'APC' when it's an IFV or an APC, and so on. And then someone on Teamspeak starts talking about some vehicle name I've never heard of and I have no clue what kind of vehicle it is.
