However, the Apache is considered more difficult to master than the Orca due to its gun, slower speed, and poor armor. The Apache was added in multiplayer in patch 1.030.Īny tactic that applies to Orcas is also valid for Apaches. Advanced weaponry such as the laser chaingun and personal ion cannon are much more effective, but their ammo is typically scarce. Encounters in wide open areas with not much cover often carries more risk of death.Īpaches can be countered with rocket launchers or chain guns. The Apache constantly harasses infantry with its 30 mm autocannon. By the Second Tiberium War, it was replaced by the Harpy. It is outclassed by the ORCA Assault Craft, as the ORCA sports a much potent rocket than the Apache's machine gun. In return, Nod employed a free-moving autocannon turret in its undercarriage.

Due to their refurbishment "work in secret", access to the Apache's old missile launcher is somewhat prohibited. Apaches do not have sufficient armor to survive prolonged anti-aircraft fire, and thus commanders are forced to deploy them carefully. Nod's version of the Apache is heavily upgraded and outfitted with the latest equipment and parts available, and with a powerful autocannon as a primary weapon.
