Cobra's actually, the USMC has never used the Apache.
Yeah the lack of USMC tanks means our air, helos, and ATGMs are our anti-armor units. Part of the intent here to let players "learn" for themselves that you don't necessarily need tanks to stop tanks.

If I understand your comment correctly it's more that this is the desert. Roads are convenient but rarely limit the potential avenues of approach one can use. So units are positioned to cover those not the roads themselves.

I seriously doubt the AI will put up much of a fight as the USMC side, as they'll die in place in their initial positions. The AI can't handle "shoot and scoot" tactics. Nor will it reload from ammo trucks.
