Immobilize (Denial)

Target: Logis, transport trucks, non-armor utility vehicles
Best Phase: Early–mid game

Forces reactionary play: Immobilized vehicles make enemy squads recover vehicles instead of advancing objectives, giving the controlling team initiative.

Compound ticket bleed indirectly: Denying logistics and forward spawns causes repeated mistakes, risky movement, and failed pushes, leading to ticket loss beyond the vehicle’s raw value.

Early-game tempo advantage: Soft kills destabilize enemy momentum and amplify squad errors, setting conditions for later objectives.

Summary: Soft-kill utility vehicles early to deny spawns, disrupt logistics, and control tempo.

Destroy (Certainty)

Target: Tracked vehicles (tanks, IFVs, APCs), armor threats, any high-ticket vehicle
Best Phase: Mid–late game

Armor should always be hard-killed: High-ticket vehicles survive soft damage and can be repaired, negating initial advantage. Hard kills ensure maximum ticket loss and remove recovery potential.

Late-game certainty: Low ticket counts require guaranteed vehicle elimination to secure wins.

Immediate ticket bleed: Eliminates guesswork and prevents enemy from regaining battlefield influence.

Summary: Hard-kill armor and late-game vehicles to secure immediate tickets and prevent recovery.

Summary

Match Phase Vehicle Type Recommended Action Ticket Strategy
Early/Mid Logis / Transport Immobilize Deny spawns, compound ticket bleed, control tempo
