KPA Armored Cars are enemy vehicles used by the Korean People's Army in Homefront: The Revolution.

Description

Armored Cars are used in patrolling the zones across Philadelphia, transporting prisoners, and providing armored escort for KPA Officials or Liaison Officers. Armored Cars can be regularly seen in both Red and Yellow Zones and also the Restricted Zone and the Green Zone. They are most often seen driving down the streets of Philadelphia escorted by KPA soldiers with its Heavy Machine Gun patrolling 360 degrees around the vehicle, attacking any hostile soldiers it finds.

They are part of the objective of raising Hearts and Minds, where destroying them will count towards the objective.

If the player is spotted by the armored car, its sirens will change to red, warning that it has been spotted.

Tactics

• Armored Cars will most commonly patrol the streets of the Yellow Zones escorted by KPA soldiers. During this time, the coaxial Heavy Machine Gun will analyse the area around it with a blue scanner beam that will spot you will you enter it.
• Every Armored Car has a fuel line at its rear that, if shot, will cause the vehicle to explode. This is a good way to neutralise the Armored Car without using any Explosives, limpet mines or rockets. Recommended weapons include the Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle and Marksman Rifle.
• Incendiaries have no effect on the Armored Cars, however they may be used to kill KPA soldiers that exit once you start your attack.
• Explosives can be used to destroy Armored Cars, however they require that you throw them in a way that’ll guarantee that they will do damage, otherwise you‘ll waste your resources. Approximately 2 Explosives are enough to destroy an Armored Car.
• Like all other KPA manufactured drones, the Humvee has a weak spot, which is its fuel tank. It can be hit multiple times before it explodes or can be destroyed by a single shot with the Marksman rifle or any explosive weapon. Any form of explosive can be used on the Humvee. If a hack device is thrown at the Humvee, it will attack any nearby KPA units before going back to normal.
