Rocket
Tanks deal major damage. They are pretty agile and have the ability to
turn quickly which can pose issues when attempting to circle them. On
the plus side, if you are able to seek out cover, you can avoid their
heavy fire by moving in and out of your position.
Take advantage of their slow movement.
Be wary of agility of unit.
Pilot tips:
It
is advised to utilise Service Trucks nearby when using this unit. It is
also worthwhile considering combining them with Assualt Tanks and
Walkers and their similar speeds mean a devastating force that is
incredibly tough to take on.
Key points:
Consider combining with other units.
Utilise high damage output on weaker units.

Mortar
Strategic Info:
Dealing
with Mortar Bikes as quickly as possible increases your chances of
survival. The AI of the Mortar Bikes are particularly accurate, moreso
than a lot of real players are capable of. In some cases heavier units
may be guarding them, but despite this, taking the Mortar Bikes out
should be priotitised due to their ability to deal quick and precise dmg
to units.
Pilot Tips:
The AI of the Mortar Bikes
are an advantage, in that they infrequently damage themselves upon use.
You can man the Mortar Bikes with troops and then orchestrate an attack
plan.
Key Points:
Be aware of the lethality of the Mortar Bikes and consider them as a priority target.
Utilise speed against slower vehicles.

Strategic Info:
Whilst
Assault Tanks are pretty easy dispatch as solitary units, they are much
more fearsome as a collective. The barrel of their cannon moves very
slowly, so by circling them closely and firing at them during this
process, you should be able to destroy them due to their limited
movement. Finding ditches when up against Assault Tanks is beneficial as
they cannot shoot down.
Pilot Tips:
The Plasma
Cannon of the Assault Tank has incredible range. Enemy Gun Spires should
be targetted, as you will be able to inflict damage without resistance
due to the significant range. These cannons can deal major damage
Key Points:
Consider the severity of Assault Tanks in groups.
Take advantage of the Plasma Cannons range against oncoming enemies.

Strategic Info:
Opposing
AI utilise Walkers well and they are particularly dangerous. Attacking
Walkers in force is advised as well as avoiding them all together if
possible. Lone Walkers can take out multiple Warriors on occasion
highlighting the severity of their damage capabilities. Using a wingman
as a distraction could be as useful tactic while the focusing fire on
the Walker to disable it.
Pilot Tips:
The initial
set-up for the Walker can be beneficial in combat, however a
re-customisation of your weapons from Blast to Plasma can greatly
improve your fire power. The range of the Plasma Cannons allow for
damage to be inflicted upon oncoming enemies before you're able to be
attacked yourself. The rate of fire enables major damage with a few
precise shots.
Key Points:
Using Plasma Cannons can greatly increase you risk of survical as their range is devastating to oncoming enemies.
Using distractions aid your abilities to take on opposing Walkers.

One
of the major disadvantages of coming up against Bombers, is that
defensive units like Gun Spires and your offensive units have a tendency
to ignore Bombers altogether. It is crucial that Bombers are taken out
as soon as possible as they are often ignored and can deal significant
damage.
Pilot tips:
It is recommended the use of
Bombers in continual and constand when playing as ISDF. Allow for the
Bombers to get close to the enemy base and let loose, particularly
focusing on Matriarchs and Recyclers.
Key Points:
When defending against Bombers make sure to take them out as early as possible as they can deal major damage when ignored.
Use bonbers as frequently as possibly so as to inflict a lot of damage upon enemies.

Buildings
are the most at risk of getting major damage when up against APC's as
they are useless againt units. An oncoming assault of APC's should be
dealt with swiftly, however take into account you won't need to protect
any wingmen you have. APC's carry troops armed with rocket launchers.
Once deployed the troops attack structures and are assisted by the
APC's.
Pilot Tips:
It is recommended APC's are not
deployed to attack units due to their ineffectiveness against them.
Grouping APC's together improves their effectiveness when attacking
Scion bases. Direct your APC's to focus on and destroy Recyclers during
the attack so that the process is not thwarted.
Key Points:
Prevent APC's from deploying troops by destroying them early on.
Group APC's together to improve damage effectiveness.
