Humvee (Generals)

"CHEW ON THESE!"

"Thats it, your rides over."

- Humvee ordering infantry to evacuate

The Humvee (full name: High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) was a lightly-armoured United States infantry transport and scout vehicle. Armed with a machine gun, and capable of upgrading to other weapons, the Humvee was able to transport 5 infantry units, all able to fire from within it.

The United Nations extensively used modified HMMWVs in their operations as support and cover for UN personnel.

Upgrades
"Hey. Check out our new TOW Missile!"

- Humvee


 * TOW Missile - This upgrade, available from the War Factory, supplemented the Humvee's machine gun with a TOW Missile launcher, able to attack both ground and air targets.
 * Scout Drone/Battle Drone/Hellfire Drone - One of these drones could be selected as an upgrade per unit. The Scout Drone, the most inexpensive, simply provided information to the vehicle crew that increased their sight range and revealed otherwise difficult-to-spot stealthy units in the vicinity. The Battle Drone was armed with a small machine gun, giving some protection against infantry, and could also repair its parent vehicle. The Hellfire Drone, initially made available later in the conflict, fired a small, but surprisingly effective missile against enemy units. Drones could be upgraded with Drone Armour.
 * Advanced Training

Tactics
The Humvee, an inexpensive and fast unit, became popular as a weapon to surprise the enemy early on in a conflict. Loaded with Missile Defenders, and upgraded with the TOW Missile launcher, Humvees were potentially very dangerous against enemy armour, using hit-and-run tactics.

Counters
In spite of the aforementioned, Humvees were vulnerable to heavy weapons, being only light vehicles.

Behind the scenes
GDI Guardian APCs, Nod Reckoners and the Allied Battle Fortress all share the same advantage as the Humvee. When there are infantry on board, they can fire at enemies while still in the Humvee.
