Such underused units..but,why? ok,so the buggy's armor isnt exactly great,but they can have good use if you are Nod in field,and GDI has control of the field,Not that you win anyway,but you can usually pick off a med,MLRS(NOT MRLS!!!),or, if you are lucky,an APC.(keep pushing it toward the Nod base,and away from its own base. anybody else ever do this?

that would work if GDI didn't lock their vehicle cameras to their turrets (like the game should be). as it stands, i don't see how your buggy would last more than 15 seconds :-\

Fifteen seconds is a hell of a long time for a buggy to last against a med tank. Five seconds, maybe.

Actually they are rather good against tanks if you use them properly, all you have to do is move back and forth and avoid there projectiles, but don't just keep going the same way or he will be able to shoot ahead and get ya. The key is to keep moving. it works better with APC becuz you can take a couple hits.
You can only rid the world of war, when you rid the world of boundries!

They are good to get to defend the harvy against inf rush if you are fortunate enough to get a cash crate, otherwise I just use them to get my sniper to his spot quicker then I blow it up, otherwise i just save cash for an APC.

why is he talking about tiberian sun MLRS and renegade Buggies?

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Only if the tank driver is asleep. It takes too long to chip away at tank armor with the mounted machine gun; by the time you do any appreciable damage the tank will either have blown you to bits, or barring that retreated to a place where you can no longer hit them. You, driving the weakest ground units in the game, do not have the armor to pursue nor the firepower to delivery a quick finishing blow.
Buggies and Hummers aren't all that useful after the first minute or two anyway, aside from the occasional quickie-cheapie back-of-HoN/back-of-WF raid on City. APCs have more armor (and heavier armor, which makes them less prone to be taken out by...oh, say, some halfwit with a n00bjet halfway across the map), greater carry capacity, and are more maneuverable. If you are going to run anti-infantry or suppression fire in anything with a machine gun, take an APC.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine
Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

Some persons that use buggies/hummers in the middle of the game:
- point whores. Hummers and buggies don't give away much points but can get quite a lot.
- people with sniper/pic or rave that want to have a big action radius. I use it often on mesa cause it's a long way on foot from one side to another
- n00bs who have no money and don't wanna wait till they get some
Every unit has its use! I can't say there's one I never used...
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Once on my team, when the hand was down(on field), we had 5 humvees in the field and we raped whatever vehicles came. ie when a flame tank came and was going for a specific humvee, another one would bump the flame tank and then drive off.

Hammers can be used to move engineers quickly to the rush point(On under)
|
yup, sure can...
I don't think any engineer would like to be under the wrath of a hammer for disobeying.

De7 might also remember a game on Under, where a team of gse people and some others camped the nod entrance with humvees for at least 20 minutes.
SO THERE'S YOUR USE
The only time I really ever use humvee/buggy in clanwars is at the start of complex gdi, to keep the first art busy.

I use hummers for sbh/nuke patrol on non def. maps, such as Islands. I usually put remotes on it to destroy it if a sbh or someone takes it while I'm out of it.
