This week, we introduce the GDI Mobile Support Vehicle, dedicated to supporting allied vehicles. Read on for tips, tricks and counters to master this new unit.
Support and boost allied vehicles
The Mobile Support Vehicle (M.S.V. for short) brings GDI vehicle support to the front lines. Much like it’s construction cousin, the M.C.V., the Mobile Support Vehicle can quickly deploy into a structure on the front lines. Any vehicles that visit the M.S.V. leave with juiced up engines and more powerful guns.

Deployment Tips:
The Mobile Support Vehicle should never be the first unit sent into battle. This is a second line support unit that is unable to defend itself from enemy units. Once you’ve set up your main attack or defense line, send in the M.S.V. unit to set-up in a safe location. Any allied vehicles near a set-up M.S.V. will receive an attack damage and movement speed boost, allowing them to quickly destroy enemy units. Use this in conjunction with units like M.L.R.S. and Slingshot to capitalize on the bonus effects.
Counters:
The best counter is anything anti-vehicle. Unable to defend itself, the M.S.V. relies on allies to keep it alive. A lone M.S.V. is a vulnerable M.S.V. Send in hard counters to defeat its defenders, remembering that the M.S.V. buff means they deal increased damage. Once they’ve been destroyed, any anti-vehicle unit will be able to destroy the M.S.V.
From the Devs:
“This will bring about a unique playstyle that centers around positional set-ups and a more pre-emptive playstyle.” - KyleF
