Unit Strategy Quotes Gallery Trivia

One of the fastest vehicles on the battlefield, the Technical serves as the primary transport unit for the GLA. It is armed with a machine gun for taking care of infantry, and with additional salvage upgrades it gains a Dushka Machinegun and eventually a recoiless rifle, making it able to take down any light to medium vehicle with ease. The fact that it can also transport units makes it a very good rush unit, especially since it doesn't require anything to be built.

Tactics[]

The Technical is best used for transport, as it is fast, cheap and can defend against infantry with no salvage. Rushing is good with this vehicle, because it is very fast and can move into the enemy's base almost undetected when coming from the backdoor.

When upgraded with salvage it gains anti-vehicle capabilities as well, a Dushka machine gun and a recoilless rifle for levels 1 and 2 respectively. This makes the Technical a good hit-and-run vehicle, as the gunner can move and fire in any direction without the car having to stop.

The Technical can also be used for quick base expansion by transporting workers in it.

Counters[]

The Technical is completely defenseless against aircraft. While its mobility means it can evade slower weapons, such as artillery shells, it fares far worse against RPGs and missiles. Its passengers cannot fire out, and its destruction would mean the death of its passengers as well.
