The Stryker.

[Herbiie]

Hey

Kinda bored so I thought I'd post up everything I know about the stryker

Side:

Front:


Armaments:
1x .50 Cal.
Smoke
4 x Ammo

Advantages:

• Fast.
• Fairly High ground clearance, so it is good off road.
• The .50 Cal can provide very good support for Infantry Support.

Dis Advantages:

• Not alot of fire power.
• Easy to flank.

The Stryker is normally used on Insurgency (Ejod Desert is the only Map with it that isn't insurgency afaik) and it can be used in a very good way, with a decent infantry squad.

What you should do at the start of a round is ask an infantry squad that looks decent to load up in the stryker straight away. Then, when the first cache is discovered, the Stryker can plant that squad as close as possible to the cache, trying to give a rough location of the cache, and keeping the enemies' heads down. Once the squad has taken out the cache, they will load up in the stryker again, and move away, until the next one is found. Repeat until victorious.

Also, if you are just moving along with an infantry squad while there is no cache around, "crawl" the stryker along, you're hull can be used as cover and the .50 cal is very scary, and can suppress enemy positions easily.


If you do not have an infantry squad dedicated to you, then you should keep to open areas and suppress the enemy positions from afar. If you go into a city there will be Mines, IEDs, and RPGs to worry about. In a wide open area there is only RPGs, and even then the shooter has to be lucky.


I was also thinking that if anyone else wants to share some knowledge about the use of the stryker, they could do it here.

Balls wrong place!

Can an admin move this to the Armour tactics section please (I'm tired)

# Fairly High ground clearance, so it is good off road.

one of the most flippable vehicle tbh

to add - sucks against RPGs

# Easy to flank.

how so? it has one of the best elevation and, more importantly, the best depression angles of fire

you're hull can be used as cover

use this ONLY in desert/open, because in urban it is other way round, inf goes 1st, apc shoots on spotted fire positions

Apcs with no splashdamage gunz are gloryfied bus'

It is also on Qwai River.

Nice little read this, thanks for doing it.

Only by fools

I kinda meant that it can go over alot, as with some of the lower Vehicles you sometimes have to be careful that your hull doesn't hit the ground

Dis Advantages:

Weak armour
weak gun compared to other APC's
easily flips
Gun is easy to hit while in cover


I dont even know why they put a 50. on it

Quickly! Stryker MGS!

Well that'd unbalance Qwai quite quickly.

The .50 is great, keep it at long range and you can take things out easy - it's for CARRYING troops anyway - not fighting.

Also if you flip a stryker you deserve to be shot as part of natural selection.

Lol, people making Stryker squads almost always call them for Striker
Annoying

probably wouldn't. its stil a stryker body so a squad with a LAT could pwn it, a HAT could pwn it also PLA have 3(?) cannon APCs? quick ambush with 1/2 of them and its pwned.
