Battlefield 2142/Vehicles

Vehicles are primarily found in bases and tactical positions, and they are a must to commandeer if you want to survive throughout the battle. They provide transportation, protection, and their own mounted weapon. However, be wary of Engineers and RDX equipped Recon troops - you might find your time in a vehicle quite short. Most of them have built-in Active Defense Systems for immediate defense from most hits (X, can only be activated by the driver).

Pan Asian Coalition
The PAC vehicles sport a curved and greenish look.

T-39 Bogatyr
The T-39 Bogatyr (Russian for 'ronin') is the PAC's Battlewalker, anthropoidal (human-like) vehicles. Primarily armed with dual plasma cannons and armor piercing missiles for the driver (1) and a plasma anti-air battery and lock-on anti-air EMP missiles for the weapons officer (2), it is your all-around vehicle. However, it cannot engage faraway armored vehicular targets since the missiles fly quite wildly. Due to this, its main weakness is engaging faraway tanks. It can also increase walking speed (press and hold Shift).

Type 21 Nekomata
The Type 21 Nekomata (a certain cat demon in Japan) is a state-of-the-art PAC tank outfitted with hover technology. The driver (1) is armed with a high-explosive anti-tank round, while the gunner (2) has access to an anti-infantry repeater. Unlike the A8 Tiger Tank, its European counterpart, the Nekomata can strafe, making it tactically advantageous since it can flank the enemy's rear easily without immediate harm to its own rear. However, the tank has a fixed turret, making aiming and turning slower, and it moves quite slowly. The Nekomata is also a bit unstable on inclined surfaces.

BTR-4 Romanov
The BTR-4 Romanov is the PAC's Armored Personnel Carrier. The driver (1) is armed with a machine gun and an EMP grenade launcher. The weapons officer (2)has a grenade launcher. The passengers (3-6) have machine guns on each corner.

Type 4 Doragon
The Type 4 Doragon (Japanese for 'dragon' is the PAC's gunship which has a resemblance to modern attack helicopters, but without the rotors. Instead, it is a helojet, the pilot (1) armed with standard missiles, while the weapons officer (2) utilize the anti-infantry plasma repeater and guided missiles.

BTR-20 Yastreb
Being the air transport of the PAC, the BTR-20 Yastreb (Russian for 'hawk')is armed with almost the same anti-infantry plasma repeater as the Doragon. It has two of these, used by the gunners (2 & 3), while carrying four passengers (4-7). The pilot (1) has no access to any weapons. The transport is quite more resistant to damage than the gunships, but can only fly up to a certain altitude.

UAZ-8 Ocelot
Based on the MK-12 Bandit, the EU's Fast Attack Vehicle, the UAZ-8 Ocelot performs just as well. Being an FAV, it can be used offensively against infantry and for quick attacks, as well as for those who need to do something really quickly. The gunner (2) has access to the anti-infantry repeater, while the passenger can use his own equipment and has a view of the rear only. It can also boost its speed temporarily (Shift) by the driver (1). However, not only does it provide marginal protection even from small arms fire, it has no active defense system, and so, the only defense that it could provide is its speed.

European Union
The EU vehicles sport a sleek and grayish or black look.

L-5 Riesig
The L-5 Riesig (German for 'giant') is the EU Battlewalker. The driver (1) has access to dual gattling cannons and armor-piercing missiles, and the weapons officer (2) has an anti-air battery and lock-on anti-air EMP missiles. Like the Bogatyr, it cannot engage tanks at long range. The ground missiles fly a straighter path than the Bogatyr's.

A8 Tiger
The A8 Tiger is a treaded tank built for the EU. It has similar weaponry to the Nekomata. However, unlike the Nekomata, it has a lower profile, moves slightly faster, and is stable at inclined positions. It is, however, prone to flanking.

UD-6 Talon
The UD-6 Talon is the Gunship of the EU, almost similar in weaponry to the Doragon, except that the anti-infantry repeater is basically a mounted gattling cannon.

UD-12 Shepherd
UD-12 Shepherds are EU air transports, similar in function to the Yastreb. Like the Talon, the anti-infantry weapons are gattling cannons.

MK-12 Bandit
The MK-12 Bandit is the EU FAV, similar to the Ocelot, which is based off the Bandit.

AMV-2-Groundhog
The AMV-2 Groundhog is the EU APC, similar with the Romanov, weapons-wise. The passengers, however, fire out of top mounted guns, instead of in slots on the side.
