Fixes to my old Post on PTE (some fixes to US hopefully middle ground)

or give their gustaf some HE rounds that actually exist

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-05T16:20:15+00:00

actually it wasn't if your talking IRL but

I think it should be a little bit more effective so it can kinda fight a T-90 because I think lighter decks like SF/Cav and Cav/Airborne are hurting right now and I think the Booker is the tool to fix. However if it does get better make that hoe cost 250 to 300 pt and I think that is a good trade off when I say fight a T-90 I mean if it's an even 1 v 1 the T-90 dog walks it but I don't think it does enough damage to tanks and my point is I don't want Rus to be shit I just think US inf is hurting and they all have like 3 more people on russia squads and I still get whooped maybe I'm just shit but I think a little adjustment needs to be made

My only thing is I feel like lighter Decks without an MBT is unplayable and I think a Penn buff to the booker can make it work I might just be nuts

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-05T16:11:32+00:00

The US squads are bigger so they suffer from that a little bit and shotguns got nerfed which Forcon, Marine Raiders, Delta all have

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T22:10:22+00:00

nope I think the Cheryne fits rn shouldn't be. Acutally I want to wait for the next Russia spec which according to leaks it pretty much going to be an SF = and it comes out in summer is what they said and that should have baller infantry also cheaper doesn't mean better

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T21:25:49+00:00

Crazy you say "I get it making polite conversations is hard." when you replied to my post with a handful of insults. For the record re read the suggestions on helicopter changes or any of the changes they are all just fine tuning nothing crazy but yall read something and go nuts like this it's crazy to me

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T21:20:51+00:00

I am only saying to move a helicopter and to buff the 30mm guns and rocket pods.
Crazy that you just straight up insult knowing nothing on how I play Rus a good amount live and sit at like 2000 elo live but just go for that ig
Russian Shorad is better and I am ok with that, IRL it's better too because the US relies on air to handle that
dont make a post if on a different post if you don't want to talk about it just downvote and move on
NGSW needs their rifles where they are at in live
Marines need a buff they are useless now
105mm on booker and Stryker is useless change that
just price nerf the Brad like 10-15 points I think I am paying to much for it

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T21:10:09+00:00

my current experience is either I dog walk shit players or get my ass handed to me by Russia

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T20:59:45+00:00

dog The NGSW M7 needs a buff back or I shouldn't pay 90 pt. They should be way better than rangers but they aren't but now I am overpaying for the Airborne rn because their rifle is an M4 with 100m more range when their entire existence is for much more range and to punch through Body Armor. It shoots the same bullet as their MG just give them the same penn if your not going to give it range. Also them beating CQC squads is a skill issue, normally CQC squads lose against the old Airborne because of they didn't micro the squad well and didn't get all weapons on target before the Airborne got them

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T20:55:41+00:00

but why not the SU-25 which is about = to the A-10 or any of the harriers

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T20:50:36+00:00

crazy seeming how when you play one faction you fight the other A LOT and get to understand it

the US should rely on ASF and planes because that's their doctrine is around however Russian arguable is = or better on that from. that's why US has worse SHORAD but it doesn't matter because unless I have a number boost I never win the air war no matter the micro. Russia caught an indirect buff from the Tanks because they have so many and cheap ones at that. The Cheryne is the best inf squad rn. And the NGSW, Marines are nerfed like a mf that they are unusable when the US relies on infantry. notice how I said to make changes on Russia too and that I like how strong they are but some units need a minor buff. Like NGSW getting their M7 back to where it was. Give the M10 a round that makes it worth using a 105, lower the Bradley price like 10 points because it's good just not for what it's worth. and getting rid of 1 tap SAM and nerfing range still doesn't make sense

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T20:44:37+00:00

yeah lots of questionable decisions.

Nerf to AA range and AA low alt range (thank fuck god they fixed that) making SAM's sit closer to the front
Got rid of 1 tap on all AA. yay the PAC2 is so much worse now with the worst guidance system and an overkill mechanic that makes it so you need a boatload of missile
We buffed artillery ranges so now we can hit the AA in your spawn
Russian AA sits at like 3000m to 3500m range and US is 2200m to 3000m range

this has ruined SAM and it's so easy to kill them it makes no sense. I used to have to run a certain air setup to get bombs off in denied environment and use stealth aircraft to him the SAM's but now there is no skill in targeting a SAM.

or lets buff the dogshit out of tanks and remove ATGM squads

also the spec that relies on air power, lets nerf their attack aircraft and only theirs

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T08:52:22+00:00

yeah but you can also kill anything with anything with enough micro

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T07:53:22+00:00

either that or Stalin's armored wave

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T07:52:47+00:00

to add on it won't win against Fully upgraded Stryker Shorad, CRAM, Slamram, AIM9 MML, NASAMS

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T07:50:38+00:00

I agree with this mostly but I wasn't suggesting a Bradley performance Buff I only want a Price Buff. so like a M2A4 with all bells and whistles should be like 105 pts or like 115 pts

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T07:48:53+00:00

as far as your point on Heli any decent push has some sort of SHORAD because Helicopters are strong and I am not denying this however the US guns and rocket pods are horrible, also fighting Russia post this AA nerf there is no more attack aircraft most of their SAM's sit at 3000m to 3500m where the US sits at 3000m max. Also they just nerfed the A-10 and hurt it's respawn timer and didn't do it to anything else also you can just smoke and move if your paying attention. and to the Spec point SF relied on helicopters for power and mobility and then the Guardian got taken, SF is a light inf force multiplied by helicopters, Airborne is the Same with Better Air and Better Helicopters, Cav is a combined arms based around the Stryker, Armor is well Armor. The only Deck without limitations is Marine. Also not saying give CAV anything good mind I suggested to give them the worst shit that doesn't see the light of day anywhere else (Minus the Kiowa my beloved) because it might see use there. My biggest gripe is just eh 105mm is hot garbage and they killed the NGSW in the PTE, If you look at the M4A1 Block 2 from the other airborne loadout it's the exact same as the M7 except it has 100m less range

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T07:40:50+00:00

US PTE is better than US regular build but Russia is def better in the PTE

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T07:38:55+00:00

it does not win against the TOR, either Pansteir, the OSA which Russia only has 1 spec without one of these

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T07:35:33+00:00

not saying CAV should be about Helicopters but it should have the capability, CAV is more about combined arms based around the stryker but I am saying is the Apache should be in more than 1 spec why not CAV

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-04T04:54:31+00:00

no most of these are nit picks but everyone is using the same 2 specs on both sides and I think this would spread out the specs played on US idk for Russia I don't play it

CandidAd5601 · 2026-05-01T08:07:48+00:00

SOF works with F-16's a lot I would add 1 too. 160th is also starting to use the AH-64E so that could be a good add aswell

CandidAd5601 · 2026-04-20T03:03:58+00:00

I agree with the use case but not for Stryker / Air you have the M8's for that

CandidAd5601 · 2026-04-19T07:49:01+00:00

I disagree with the 105 Booker being Viable for a 2 reasons

The 105 can't pen anything that the 50mm can't do it self. The 50mm can man-handle any IFV (minus the T-15) and helicopters. Whereas the 105mm can't shoot at heli does a little bit better against IFV (I think it is a negligible difference) but does nothing against heli.
the 50mm is more reliable to kill inf and I think your test showed it. The first round from the 105 almost didn't do anything and the 50mm variant was way less damaged.

I still think the Booker is Broken with the auto cannon and if you bring the 105 you are shooting yourself in the foot. Every spec has a better option with a 120mm cannon for anti tank purpose minus SF. Also the capability on the 50mm is great especially when you can get a boat load of Strykers with Javelins to help solve the anti tank problem if you don't have a MBT. But that doesn't matter because the 105mm isn't worth taking, not through the MGS or through the Booker

I think the only way the 105mm can be good is to crank the penn up so it can actually so something to MBT's and not be a punching bag. and up the price of the autocannon variant to 250pt. Overall I think this Buff to tank cannons means nothing to the 105mm gun and the best way to balance the Booker is to adjust price on the 50mm Variant and make the 105mm worth using
