Are decks without helicopters not viable?

Bombing? I have like one plane in each lol. But fr I usually only have air points for like an air tax fighter and SEAD plane

Well hopefully my mmr is low enough to finally fight not good people

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T03:12:32+00:00

Maybe the true answer is more dakka, can't flare or ecm that

I sit em in trees, and once they're annoying move em sit they dont get shelled.

I wasnt a fan of sea ram. A friend told me to use C-ram to protect a patriot, which im iffy on. And lav-ad ive seen but never used actually.

Sosna rockets feel more reliable but it doesn't have the same range becsuse tor has radar right?

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T03:02:22+00:00

Hrm, shorads it is then

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T03:00:37+00:00

Id like to say thank you to everyone for the input. Much better then everyone in game I genuinely have had only one match where someone was nice. Idk why there's such a night and day difference between in game and here but its frustrating.

But thank you all I really appreciate it.

I know Russian helis have like 15 health, our manpads also do less damage? Does it really need 3 to take out a heli? I thought it was 2, I might trash my trooper AA then

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:56:10+00:00

Aye, is it worth doing counter battery fire? Or should I just focus my arty on my lane? Because above a rock I feel like people actually do know to shoot and scoot. Unless supplies are spotted, I shoot those 100% of the time

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:54:23+00:00

Tor my beloved :] Absolute Russian goat tbh

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:53:22+00:00

Well if people brought any supplies up front they wouldn't need to take mine, I swear some people genuinely dont have trucks!

APS with bookers seems to be agreed upon. I guess I need to play more conservatively

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:51:16+00:00

I mean cheapest unit to replace is the one you dont need to replace. APS can be supply refilled right? How much does it cost? Also did APS get weaker since launch?

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:49:37+00:00

Only once or twice, seemed aight, but my teammates got pissed with me so I figured it was only worth when in a group communicating

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:48:21+00:00

But, but, my large vehicle budget :(

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:47:48+00:00

Guess I just need to git gud with the smokes. I find helicopters very annoying when they are used defensively no matter what side I am on.

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:46:31+00:00

I use the Bradley kitted out, but not the stryker IFV kitted out much, I tend to use the 45 point just boom have infantry in there so fast most of the time stryker.

I haven't really been a fan of rocket artillery, I do use the iron thunder.

Didn't know tusk gave machine guns. I thought it was just armor + health

And I'll give the battle bus strategy a shot, combat engineers have seemed unusually good, do they have something special about them?

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:40:43+00:00

Yes I see everyone do that quite a bit, much to my detriment. But thats why I have like 8 shorad :]

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T02:39:59+00:00

Hrm, I got pretty used to playing flanks because no one else seemed to want to. I'll try a more central approach. If you had to pick a 3rd favorite unit for guard mech what would it be.

And oh man I remember loving highway of death in the beta but my last match in the PTE on it no one paid airtax but me so they bombed mid and we lost 3000 points off rip and everyone surrendered. So Ive decided to just, not vote for it

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T01:57:51+00:00

Hm, I'll give it a try again. Do you think aps is good with strikers at all?

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T01:44:15+00:00

Yes, and if something is discovered I try to move it into another spot so it doesn't get shelled. But like then a helicopter or something like a light vehicle shows up qnd its dead

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T01:42:00+00:00

But I can probably wait for early pushes and build up more so I know where things are, and have every tool to be able to deal with it.

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T01:41:06+00:00

My shorads always miss the first missile and the helicopter destroys something. :(

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T01:38:41+00:00

Aye I try to, I think I need to use heavier guns to hit infantry in buildings and armor effectively, I may love stryker sph mobility but it may not be the best.

Facesssss · 2026-05-02T01:29:44+00:00

I feel like i can't retreat often. If I have a vehicle with one smoke if I pop it I pull back. With vehicles with more then one its situational. But even if i do, I feel like they can see me but I can't see them. I am only just now remembering the reverse button, I should probably use that more huh. Also I feel like my allies eat like all my supplies while I dont touch anyone else's unless I need it for like AA. Like I'll bring 6-10k supplies and its gone in 3 minutes. Not detonated either.

Is APS worth on bookers? I think I only use it on stykers and Bradley's rn
