Yeah Avast notoriously doesn't like the game and has given other people the same problem you describe (black screen + fail instead of starting). Search "Avast" in our Discord tech support channel and you will see.
If disabling isn't doing what you want, can you try adding game.exe in APB's install directory to Avast's whitelist?

I've seen a number of light/phase tank rushes work, and in the past, ranger rushes. But they do require coordination. It's easier when the team's not cooperating to go in as a Tanya or Engineer and solo some structures.
A spy shutting down defenses/repairs also requires some amount of specific teamwork to be effective.
Using jump and crouch keys give you a lot of control with your pitch. Rudder left and right is bound to your < and > keys, but bind the secondary L+R keys to keys near WASD. I use Z and X personally. This will help you turn left and right easily without having to roll the plane. Helps a LOT when you're strafing a moving target. @ ryknow69can explain more precisely.
3.6.1.1
General
Fixed the 1 minute offset for EVA's "time remaining" announcements.
Fixed two missing strings in the controls menu.
The Attack Sub uses the proper 3D model in the encyclopedia.
Infantry don't drown quite as easily when surfacing and submerging while swimming. CatchBreathFactor increased significantly. 0.25 -> 3.0
Engineer
Boosted golden wrench effectiveness to repair vehicles by 10%.
Soviet Engineers no longer suicide when their War Factory takes damage.
Improved bot pathfinding slightly.
Titan range increased. 89 -> 99
Targeting/effective ranges decreased. 110 -> 94
BTR railgun:
Increased range. 75 -> 90
Added an impulse of 2.5. This creates a small physical push on targeted units.
Disabled Lunar V2, for now.
Fixed missing strings for Molotov Dan/Yuri.
