A trick I found out is that, people who have an AIT deployed think they are safe, so by using that knowledge, I position myself near the AIT, usually if there is a cliff, and that my grenades can reach the AIT. I fire my hammer, and making sure constructors aren't around, I unload everything, from grenades to my own bullets on that AIT until it gets disabled.
The disabling of the AIT has to be so that the hammer does not get intercepted, which is why I place the hammer launcher as far away as possible. As the missile is travelling, people will tend to see the hammer in the sky, and say phew, I have AIT without noticing that the person doing the target lock on stuff is also trying to wreck the AIT.
The trick is to wreck the AIT before your own hammer missile gets there. The regular artillery works as well, except that it would intercept a few shots, and the rocket artillery I think won't work with this technique. Of course the strogg opressors can position themselves near the GDF AIT, usually in a hill, and call in the DMC shot, and spam grenades at the AIT until it gets disabled, and before it gets intercepted.
Once the AIT is disabled, the Hammer/DMC will finish off the rest.
I field tested this, and it is tough. I'm telling you, one single field ops can wreck everything with his hammer, nades, and gun, if you don't protect your AIT.
So all you AIT guys, if you see some red targeting sight thing, don't think that the fops/oppressor is an idiot or blind because he can't see the AIT. After he fires his artillery, expect nade and gun spam on your precious AIT, or place the AIT at the center and away from cliffs. The more near a the AIT to a cliff is, the easier the Fops can destroy it. 2 nades and some rifle rounds are enough to disable an AIT before the Hammer arrives at its location.
