* ATeamFiring: Most hostile targets go down in one, maybe two hits from an appropriate weapon, but your troops will dispense a lot of ammo in the target's direction before that happens. While somewhat excusable for infantry, it also applies to your high-tech military vehicles like the Abrams tank, which in RealLife has a 95% hit chance with its main gun thanks to its advanced targeting systems. And to add insult to injury, hostile troops have far better accuracy and will rarely miss your squishy units, especially if they're caught out in the open.

It is infuriating watching your units waste their expensive ATGM firing at an enemy behind a smoke.

** The Cartel [[TanksButNoTanks "Tank"]], it is an armored car actually. It can deal with light and medium vehicles and infantry inside buildings as well, and it is particularly useful for getting enemy vehicles to a burning state and allow you to capture them later as its old AP shell tend to overpen light vehicles instead of destroying it outright unlike the Abrams' APFSDS shells do. It is actually less armored than a Stryker and you can't put armor kits on them, not even Junk Armor, that they will often get knocked out by a single RPG, and they can even be taken down with small arms.

** The HK Platform is another one, the weakest one being the carrier variant which is only armed with a single HMG, but most have a heavy weapon installed on them, be it a 30mm Rotary Cannon, Twin Plasma Autocannons, or even a Heavy Plasma Cannon like those used by Legion Tanks. In other words, these things has as much firepower as an Abrams. However, they are only about as tough as a Humvee. A single hit from ATGM or Plasma Recoilless from the front is enough to destroy them in one hit, or 2 hits from an RPG will most often knock them out.

** How armor works is not explained in the game, with the in game description for armor kits only have vague details of what they do. Some armor kits including the cheapest Junk Armor actually adds hit points to the vehicle in addition of just improving the defense value, and the same armor kits sometimes do different things to different vehicles. Adding steel armor, or its improved version the caged armor to dozers and heavy weapon platforms change their armor type to Tank making them as tough as a Bradley in addition of the modifier they have, but not the same can be said to trailer trucks. Unlike the case for lighter vehicles, using Carbon Armor on the Abrams or Bradley is still an improvement over Junk Armor, even if you are facing enemies using plasma cannons as heavy armor have different modifier to light vehicle armor and it adds a lot of thickness to the armor.

** For the Legion, the Spider in its most basic configuration carries 2 autocannons, by comparison a Bradley only has one, and a second weapon can be added, be it ATGM launcher, MLRS pods, or SAM launcher, and yet again they get two of them while the Bradley can only have one ATGM launcher. However, a single RPG is often all it takes to bring down a spider, and when one not available, they can be taken down with just small arms provided they don't kill you first.

** Weapon Platforms, they are immobile turrets that need to be towed by vehicles. The best thing is they carry weapons of vehicles of one tier higher than what they count, so the small platform carries an IFV grade firepower while still counts as light vehicles while only lacking the Bradley's coaxial machine gun and ATGM, and the heavy ones has as much firepower as an Abrams while considered as an IFV. The game didn't give them a good introduction as an unarmored heavy platform in Santa Fe will get taken out in one hit by a Legion Tank, but what the game don't tell you directly is their armor class is changed into "tank" if equipped with steel or caged armor, making them as tough as a Bradley or more. Once armored up and given a heavy plasma cannon, one can duel a Legion Tank and win.

** There is a hidden railgun (not the Sherman one) that can be obtained. Should the player keep high reputation with the Integrators up to this point, right after Midland, the Integrators will have a weapon platform on sale with a railgun on it.
Added DiffLines:
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Railgun which there are only 2 in the game. One is on the modified Integrator Sherman, but the second one is on a heavy weapon platform sold by the Integrator after completing Midland which is very easy to miss. You can remove it from the platform and put it on an Abrams. This weapon will destroy anything up to and including the Legion Tank in one hit from the front and can punch through some buildings unlike the Plasma counterpart, and if there is another tank behind the first one then it will be skewered as well.

* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter: Zig-zagged. Plasma weapons are more powerful than conventional guns and are capable of damaging most vehicles, but they are short ranged to the point that normal guns are better at dealing with human enemies. The accuracy is less an issue with terminators as they are slow and can't take cover. Not so much with the laser sniper rifle as it is at least as powerful as the .50 BMG counterpart and is deadly accurate. Plasma cannons are essentially an [[CripplingOverspecialization even more specialized HEAT shells]], and one can take out a Legion Tank wth just 2-3 shots from the front, but it is less accurate and less effective against infantry than the standard 120mm cannon as plasma rounds lack fragmentation, plus you lose the coaxial gun. And then there is the Railgun, the single most powerful cannon in the game.
