For those of you who don't know, "SVBIED" stands for "Suicidal Vehicle-born Improvised Explosive Device". Basically, a car bomb.
I made a video demonstrating the different formations. You can click here to download it. It's approximately 5 MB in size and a minute and 30 seconds long.
Transport selection:
First, you have to choose which car you want to make into a SVBIED. Depending on the situation, you might like to use the FAV or the Humvee/Vodnik.
Never use an APC or a tank. These vehicles are very important to your team's success, and it's waste. Also, if you can, select vehicles at a faraway base so that you can keep as many transports on the frontline as possible for your team.
FAV:
Advantages: Fast, small.
Disadvantages: Weak, no driver protection.
Use for: Taking out smaller vehicles, APCs and AA, and for taking out small clusters of infantry. Can be used against tanks in a pinch.
Humvee/Vodnik:
Advantages: Stronger, provides driver protection, larger debris.
Disadvantages: Slow, larger target.
Use for: Taking out vehicles and large clusters of infantry.
C4 formation:
Putting C4 on the right spots is important for getting the maximum amount of kills possible. Depending on the situation, patterns will differ. Feel free to invent your own!
Infantry's Nightmare:
This is for taking out large clusters of infantry. Place two C4 on the front of the vehicle and one on each side towards the front, as well as your last one on the back.
To use, drive into the middle of a cluster of infantry, hop out and detonate. The strength of the forward blast will propel the debris backwards, ramming it into any infantry in the way. The blasts at the side and the back will also take out infantry on the vehicles' flanks.
Tankbuster:
This is great for tanking out single tanks or other large vehicles. Place all five C4 on the front of the vehicle.
To use, sneak up on a tank and ram into it from behind, then hop out and detonate. The forward blast should be strong enough to demolish anything standing in your way, and the debris should fly backwards and take out anyone who happened to be in the way.
vehicular Disaster:
Use one is used to take out multiple vehicles that are clustered together. Useful when two tanks or APCs team up to capture a point. Place two C4 packs on each side of the vehicle and one on the hood.
To use, drive between any two (or more) vehicles, hop out and detonate. The side blasts should be enough to take out tanks and APCs if they're close enough. Otherwise, you'll make it much easier for your team to take them out.
Long-Distance Ram:
This is a rather unusual one. This is useful for launching into places like sheds or into camping spots for clusters of infantry, though you may prefer to use the Infantry's Nightmare instead. For extra fun, drive the vehicle off of a large cliff, hop out and detonate, then watch it fly. All five C4 packs go on the back of the vehicle.
To use, get about 10 metres away from your target, hop out and detonate. The vehicle should go flying forward. Best results with the FAV.
Tips:
If anyone else has any other C4 formations or tips, go ahead and post. :)

Tips:
- Know the battlefield. If possible, pre-plan what routes you will take to come up behind the enemy. Get your team to call out vehicle positions.
- Be patient. Sometimes, it's best to ambush. Find a good hiding spot by a popular road and switch to the external cam. Wait for a full or mostly-full vehicle, or a large cluster of infantry, to pass by before attacking.
- Stay out of sight. The last thing you need is a tank spotting you while you're trying to sneak up on it. Wait until it's preoccupied with something else or until it turns a corner.
- If you are spotted, swerve! And be random. If you just do a standard zig-zag, the tank will just wait for you to zig back into his line of fire before firing. If you're random, he won't be able to follow you so easily.
- If you see a big cluster of vehicles, wait until they pass by and then drive out and chase them down. It's better if they have a transport vehicle of their own in the convoy, because they'll assume that the sound of you driving up behind it is their own vehicle.
- For extra fun, hold down the fire button as you approach your target, to let it know that it's about to die. :)
If anyone else has any other C4 formations or tips, go ahead and post. :)
