  • Able to upgrade with a mortar that can deal heavy damage to most ground targets light damage to buildings..
  • Can carry up to 7 infantry.

  • It can transport 7 infantry units fast and reliably. Even through water.
  • They are helpless against tanks, so don't put them against them.

Can do light damage against tanks using its mortar, but that is not a recommended use of the mortar.

  • Anti-Tank missile can take it out with one hit.

  • Base defenses and garrisoned structures are a good defense against M113s.
