It seems that quite a few people in Tiberium League are using it. I don't think you see it often in the lower leagues.

I have never made it to Tiberium. Closest I got was 3650 last season. But it is seriously my most important unit for holding pads. Hands down. 

The APC has been featured in 4 decks by top players.

Rank #2 - #8 - #9 -  #10

3 of the 4 use the same deck build.

-Militants 

-Missile Squads

-Drones

-APC

-Pitbull

-Orca

This set up is similar to the Classic Starting Aggro Build.

The Classic Build is the one we all start with for Lt. Strong

-Militants

-Missile Squad

-Shockwaves

-Rhino

-Pitbull

-Predator Tank

They are swapping the Shockwaves for Drones.

The Drones can Counter Rival Shocks.

The common swap for the Rhino is the Talon to give the deck some air units.

They seem to be using the APC vs. Rhino or Talon

The Predator Tank is getting swap for Orca.

The Orca is faster and is good Anti-Vechical.

Is the set up the best set up?

Eeeeee, Tough to tell, but the deck build makes sense.

They are having success with it.

Assuming you are playing GDI Aggro deck, Your counters to it would be following:

-Pitbull

-Predator Tank

-M.L.R.S

-Orca

apc is annoying because its a anti infantry vehicle and then a anti vehicle infantry. they should have probably made it like modern C&C games where it shoots a gun and rockets from the rocket infantry but once it dies nothing comes out. thats something that happened in older C&C games and since you cant make them leave or go in the apc it doesnt matter.

I see it quite often in tib league now, with nod I tend to run the giga which is perfect as it will quickly kill off an apc, bounce to anything else back it up and by the time the apc is dead it is boosted enough to take out the missile squad too. With gdi I tend to use orcas, then send any anti infantry but it takes a long time and they can roll out another pretty fast so really my best strategy is to tile block them.

While that is a good deck, it has a serious downside:

You need to level up TWO epic cards. That seems seriously difficult to me.

60 epics for lvl 11

30 matches everyday

needs 30 days

crazy

Exactly. And it only gets worse from there on out ;-)

All decks have downsides.

I was just trying to show the deck composition featuring the APC.

I used references from top C&C players.

Some people may not have the cards necessary to make the deck.

BUT I think it is still good to see how the unit is being used.

I, myself, don’t have the cards to level up my APC.

I use the Talon.

I do fine with the Talon.

Why APC is tankier than a pred tank

Maybe its well armored compared to the predator tank. In terms of armor, its Nod counterpart is the tick tank. Have you tried having them attack a harvester and see how long the enemy can destroy it?
