Zone Trooper/Apc combo

[conquest]

It works very well in the games I've played. You have your anti-inf, anti-tank, and anti-air (somewhat). Just don't forget to add a few Rocket Apcs and Grenadier apcs for greater anti-air and the ability to clear buildings.

Zone Troopers are meant to counter tanks, but APCs are weak to tanks. You're better off just leaving your Zone Troopers on foot where tanks shells are worthless against them.

[Apolo]

Yhe lol i wasent even aware that Zone Troopers could fire out of an APC,when i tried it in the demo the Zone Troopers whould never fire out of the APC.:)But Derek has a good point they would do much better out side rather than inside.

[Alpheus]

Zone troopers can enter APCs? News to me, never tried it and probably never will.

[M2M]

The apc would die too fast for the zone troopers to take out anything, and then you lost both your apc and your zone poeperz

[JBV3737]

if the apc is on the ground doesn't the zone troopers eject from the APC?>

but yea, I think the best combo is still mamoths, juggernauts, and zonetroopers with firehawks anti-air support.

No, when an APC dies the units inside die too.

Drop the Juggernauts, and don't over do it on the Zone Troopers. Mammoths are just as powerful as Juggernauts against structures, the Juggernauts slightly greater range isn't enough to justify the extra $500 and lack of AA missiles. Zone Troopers are alright, but generally the only Zone Troopers you will use are the one you drop with the special ability. But regardless of how you get them, use their jump jet ability to get behind the enemy tanks and attack their rear armor, thats the only way to make them worthwhile.

That, or drop 'em where your enemy is least defended, like the back of his base:evil:
