| “ | Pilot of the USA! - Pilot | ” |
Pilot is a generic term for anyone operating a vehicle. However when most American commanders refer to a 'Pilot', they are referring to Pilots who had survived the destruction of US vehicles.

Background
Edit
| “ | I have experience! - Pilot | ” |
US vehicles have titanium-plated cockpits and US aircraft equipped their pilots with ejection seats, as well as parachutes and basic survival kits, giving them a good chance of survival. Since Pilots able to survive such destruction were highly skilled, they were deemed a valuable asset. If they could be escorted to another vehicle, they could show its crew what they had learned on the battlefield, making them more efficient. They can not be trained from a barracks.
UpgradesEdit
| “ | Anything to drive? - Pilot | ” |
|
| Chemical Suits | Upgrade makes the Pilots more resistant to toxins and radiations, which means that they can survive longer. This gives them a higher chance of reaching a vehicle. | Purchasable at any Strategy Center in Zero Hour for $1000 |
|
| Advanced Training | Allows the vehicles to gain veteran status twice as fast. | Purchasable at any Strategy Center for $1500 |
Important Note: These upgrades apply to the pilot only in the patched versions of the game.
CountersEdit
| “ | Sure beats walking! - Pilot | ” |
Being unarmed and poorly armoured, any attack likely kills them, in spite of the fact that they are fast runners. Quad cannons and gatling tanks can easily chase down and slaughter pilots before they get a chance of entering another vehicle, or even kill them while they are still in the air. Killing an enemy pilot is a smart move, as he can transfer his veterancy to his next vehicle. When a Dragon tank or Toxin tractor destroys a veteran American vehicle, the pilot also gets killed.
