M20

Description
The M20 is an American armored car based on the M8 Greyhound chassis. It is armed with only a single .50 Caliber heavy machine gun for defense, but carries an M1A1 Bazooka within its inventory.

History
Manufactured by Ford from 1943 onwards.

Usage & Tactics
The American M20 is a swift, light, yet powerful scout vehicle. Its dirt-cheap price of 180 MP means it can be deployed relatively early in any game mode. The vehicle has only a single Browning .50 Cal machine gun for offense and defense.

Offensive Tactics
Although poorly-armored and with only a single heavy machine gun, the vehicle's speed and maneuverability allow the M20 to support infantry advances with effective machine gun fire. Keep it out of the line of direct fire past early-game, using it as a flanker to hit enemy infantry formations where they least expect. Its .50 Cal can also destroy light enemy vehicles from close range, so do not be afraid to risk destruction if it means taking an enemy light tank with you.

Defensive Tactics
Beyond early-game, the vehicle's weak armor and open-topped cabin make it extremely vulnerable. When in a defensive role, the M20 can best be used as a stopgap vehicle, being easily dispatched to flanks under enemy assault. Use it to eliminate enemy infantry and flank the enemy main force, attempting to break off the enemy's attack. The vehicle is almost useless against enemy tanks, but the vehicle does have an M1A1 Bazooka in its inventory as a 'last stand' weapon against advancing armor. Don't forget that even when incapacitated, your infantry can take these weapons from the downed vehicles and use them to stop enemy tanks.
