Description
- Available at start after building a Tank Supplystation.
- Can only engage vehicles.
- Vulnerable to machinegun fire.
- Can carry up to 4 infantry.
- Has a long range but a low view sight.
- Its rate of fire is comparably slow.
- Air transportable.
Usage
- The Humvee TOW can destroy tanks with little effort, even ones from later ranks.
- It can transport 4 infantry fast and reliably.
- They can't engage infantry, so don't put them against them.
- Due to its low viewsight and weakness, use it at the back of your armoured battalion.
- It is recommended that you move it away from your main attack force, and when faced with vehicles of any sort you send it in and then retreat it, this way you will be able to make full use of its power. Note: This can be made easier by assigning it to a group number.
- Embark engineers, medics and officers inside it to support surrounding units.
Against Infantry
Cannot do any damage to them whatsoever.
Against Tanks
Destroys most vehicles in single shot, two hits for tanks, and usually take more than two shots in some cases. However, it is still very useful in this department.
Against Buildings
Cannot engage structures.
How to defend against
- Anti-Tank missile can take it out with one hit.
- Anti-Tank Soldier is good for the job as the TOW Humvee can't fire at them.
- It's suicide to use tanks against them unless they are oblivious to them.
- Base defenses and garrisoned structures are a good defense against TOW Humvees.
- As the case with Humvee variants, you can kill its crew with specific units to disable it and capture it.
