The E-type is a standard howitzer that can attack multiple enemies by explosion.

Type A fires a penetrating bullet.

The SP type is a howitzer, but it has a stronger reaction than the E type and lower attack performance. Instead, the speed of the bullet is fast.

Melt Buster is a special type that fires acid.

It has practical performance if it is a proper difficulty level, but there is only one type.

The 4.1 model requires DLC and has only low levels, but fires multiple timed grenades at once.

Although the range is short, the attack performance is high, and the early stages may be useful.

Equipment: Ranger

Boarding (Driver & Gunner): All classes

It is a vehicle equipped with Railgun that excels in single-shot power.

The movement performance is low and the continuous firing power is low.

After shooting, use your own weapon until you get out of the vehicle and you can re-shoot, and you can compensate for the low firing power and turn it into a merit.

It is also effective to shoot two cars alternately.

Equipment: Air Raider

Boarding (Driver & Gunner): All classes

A large tank for up to three people.

The movement ability is very low, but it has an overwhelming destructive cannon.

Requiem Cannon may be underpowered for previous players. Instead, the bullets are faster and easier to hit moving targets.

The Machine Gun is not a turret, but is fixed at the front of the vehicle, so it can not move at all, so it can not attack up or down, and must also turn the vehicle from side to side.

Instead, the destructive power is excellent.

Gunner has different weapons depending on the model.

There are two weapons to watch out for, and you need the help of Driver to handle it effectively.

Grenade Launcher launches grenades on the side of the vehicle.

Explodes near the vehicle, so having other allies nearby can have disastrous consequences.

Missile Launcher is a missile that locks on and attacks targets in front of the vehicle.

Since the lockable targets are determined by the orientation of the vehicle, the Driver needs to turn to lock on more targets.

Boarding: All classes

It is a powerful vehicle equipped with the Atomic Ray Cannon.

The attack does not stop until 1000 shots are fired. However, this is also an advantage that the attack continues even if you get off the vehicle.

For example, you can have EMC attack the Teleport Anchor while you can attack other enemies with your weapon.

Equipment: Ranger

Boarding (Driver): Ranger, Air Raider

Boarding (Passenger): All classes

Boarding (Passenger): All classes

The attack performance is lower, but the moving speed is a little faster.

The higher the level, the faster the move. It will play an active part as a vehicle for moving.

Usual type can use the howitzer. You can stop the movement of the enemy because there is an explosion, but blowing off the enemy may block the attack of allies.

The AP type is Smooth-Bore Gun, which has penetration and does not blow away enemies.

The R type is the Light Rapid-Fire Gun, which emphasizes the continuous fire power more than the Smooth-Bore Gun.

In common, weapons are poor. If you use it for an attack, you should use your weapon. Nine shots of the LV16 vehicle are the same as one shot of the LV12 Limpet Sniper D.

After launching the missile, you can efficiently destroy the target by getting off the vehicle and attacking until it is possible to lock on again.

Movement speed is fast, but it is easy to overturn due to the problem of center of gravity.

Even if it overturns, it is possible to return by re-boarding etc., but it should be noted that it takes a little time.

Helicopters

Equipment: Ranger (LV11 only)、Air Raider (All)

Boarding: Ranger, Air Raider

Most helicopters also carry missiles, but some carry napalms. Both are high performance.

At low levels the mobility is low and unwieldy.

Another drawback is that LV38 to LV67 do not exist.

Equipment: Ranger

Boarding: Ranger,Air Raider

The Ground Auto-acquisition Blaze Gun is short range but has other performance enhancements.

Rocket Cannon is fired forward and Unguided bomb is fired directly below.

Both slow speed, you need to aim on their own, but the power is big.

It should be noted that the number of bullets is small.

Also, at high difficulty levels, the speed of the enemy will increase, so the Auto-acquisition Autocannon will not hit unless it gets closer.

Equipment: Ranger

Boarding (Driver): Ranger,Air Raider

Boarding (Gunner): All classes

It is a helicopter equipped with a powerful cannon. The movement is slow but the behavior is straightforward.

Armor is harder than a tank and is not easily destroyed.

If you use it alone, use it as a cannon instead of a helicopter.

Even in such a case, have a high power, there is a penetration force, range is long cannon is the very powerful.

It outperforms most of Ranger's medium to long range weapons.

Heavy Flame Gun only is difficult to use and range is too short.

Only the power is high, so working together with Driver and Gunner may be effective in defeating a stationary or slow target.

But basically it is a gag.

In addition, it is excellent in jumping power, and you can fly high and move forward quickly.

With the jump movement, it is also possible to immediately close to the opponent.

Overall movement is slow, including upper body turning.

Instead the attack power is high and the range is sufficient.

A model with missiles on the shoulders and Revolver Cannon on both hands.

Performance is close to the general-purpose A / C, weapons are easier to use.

The missile is slow to start guidance and travels a long distance before being guided. After the lock-on, is effective and shoot so that all of the missile to hit to a specific enemy.
