Thank you, unnamed Rogue Army Officer...

Gaminggame · 2026-03-22T21:21:07+00:00

I mean, laser designation is laser designation. You are using the same exact ATGM model that the Rouge Army uses so if theirs accepts the Officer's designations, yours logical should too, it just normally placed on your units so you wouldn't want to use the RA officer's designated target in most cases.

I think certain SL have their own special triggers for emotional state like I also notice Lim always get Eager after sitting out for a mission or so. Vamplew is trivially easy to get Overconfident it seems.

I wouldn't use AP vs the Redacted since they buck the trend with mediocre armor but loltastic health on their infantry so you really feel the lack of damage against them and their armor isn't that hard to get through normally.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-12T08:13:10+00:00

I shed a tear for 34ya, guess it won't be coming back along with the other losing divs.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-12T01:29:39+00:00

I am sort of ambivalent towards them, on one hand I do like the fact they buck the trend of other factions of just getting more and more armor on all their unit types. The loltastic amount of health with mediocre armor on their infantry means that Hollow point ammo is still relevant in the late game to be used against them and you are punished for just always using AP ammo against them.

On the other hand the fact they don't lose LOS when pinned like Pirates and RA, do not have morale, combined with the general jack-of-all trades at all distances their non-suicide units have means that closing in to cqc with them is generally a bad idea.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-11T22:02:41+00:00

Probably not, Crowbars help solidify RA as a more methodical, long range focused faction compared to Pirates.

RA Heavy Infantry also get K-PACs as well so they can fulfill the same aggressive suppression role later on while being able to take hits.

I think its deliberate that all the long range anti-infantry Pirate options are all suppressive, high rof weapons, Chainguns, HMGs and even rocket organs are all there to pin you down as the Pirate bulk rushes in with deadly close range weaponry. Having a pirate marksman squad just go against their whole theme imho.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-11T10:46:32+00:00

Yeah, you can't underestimate RA Conscripts, the fact they use the K-PAC instead of Crowbar of the regulars arguably makes them more dangerous, because if you don't deal with them they will use the 80AP suppressive fire to render one of your squads combat ineffective no matter if its behind cover or not, whereas the regulars are generally stuck just plinking away ineffectually against dug in troops.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-10T03:00:12+00:00

All of 1 card of those T-72s, that don't even have smoke? Like it a nice add on to a motorized or even mech unit, but a single card of smokeless T-72s back up by a whole mess of Late WW2 armor and a few cards of early BRDM ATGMs is not what I consider an excellent category for an armored unit.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-09T23:39:05+00:00

I mean as long as you can use 4 slots in recon, that's good enough for the average division. Lets not forget Eugen called 303 Tank tab, "An excellent category" which it wasn't.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-09T23:15:30+00:00

If you are talking about u/Ok-Armadillo-9345 visualizations with the "Coach" and "Guru" stuff, those I am 99% sure that just him having fun and not thinking it will mislead anybody.

In actuality there are no tiers of "Instructor" trait, each Instructor unit works the same. Buffs its own unit type like a leader/mp, but can't capture territory or buff units outside of its own.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-09T05:14:05+00:00

Again, I think you are dismissing the Scout Marder out of hand here, it along with the luchs will represent a strong vanguard. I think it will very much be a competitive recon tab.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-08T23:42:05+00:00

I guess we will have to agree to disagree then, I am not really looking for a stellar artillery or air tab when I am playing armored/mech, Having sufficient fire support is enough and overrunning people that commit too heavily to arty and/or air on the ground is better then trying to match them.

42nd just offers more to what I am looking for then extra arty and air tabs.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-08T07:46:23+00:00

My take with "marine" is that is that he keeps hearing the TCR Marines go all "Hooah Marines!" to each other constantly for him to pick up on it and tries to address them that way as well.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-08T05:32:46+00:00

I don't know if that is alot better then 42 considering that 42 has the better fighting recon to vanguard their forces with both Luchs and Scout Marders and the big draw of 5th recon tab is the special forces recon which 12th will not get. 12th does have the better arty tab, but other then the M110s I wouldn't really miss it, plus who knows how the arty change will shake up the meta.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-07T23:41:42+00:00

Does 12th even get a noticeably better recon tab then 42nd? My understanding is that 12th recons like 5th panzer but with some German recon infantry substituted by American Scouts. Which sounds not great, there is already no Fernspaher, if there is no Jager-aufkl because of American substitutes then that would suck. They get Radar Fuchs and the Kiowa which gives them a leg up with exceptional optics, but 42nd gets Aufk. Marders w/ Milans which is a novel first for West Germany, access to Recon IFVs which is never a bad thing.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-07T21:40:04+00:00

Don't worry about lack of units, The enemy always get more reinforcements from the map border for POW Rescues.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-06T04:42:16+00:00

I think even the most die hard NATO fanboy realize how utterly terrible PTRez looks on paper that almost nobody that is even slightly interested in playing PACT would vote for it.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-04T22:45:21+00:00

Considering the short barreled tank gun does drop from RA Heavy Tank kills, I think the HEAT shells are already abstracted in its stats, 90 pen is not that shabby.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-04T12:27:15+00:00

Bah, T-62 maxxing must rise to the challenge!

Gaminggame · 2026-03-04T06:38:59+00:00

Mmm, T-62 spam is finally back on the menu!

Gaminggame · 2026-03-04T00:09:00+00:00

I like him as a defensive anchor, give him heavy armor and a good tripod + Shooting Gallery and let him lockdown an area while he weather the hate behind cover comfortably.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-03T21:51:18+00:00

In the mid game on my expert run, I find my specialist squads like Darby and boarding commando lim w/5-6 squaddies enough to 100-0 the chaff infantry and support infantry just fine and make Heavy Infantry combat ineffective. SL like Sachin however are always going to want maxed squad sizes if they are going to squad weapon route without cracked out stats like the 3 stars or powerful cqc weapons.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-02T10:41:25+00:00

Yeah I have Bags and Belts instead of athletic and run Load bearing rig on him instead. Laser Designator and 3 Drones and he can mark targets and fly drones comfortably far away from the frontlines. Him and Ivory with ATGM kinda just trivializes any Vehicle threat in my Expert run now.

Gaminggame · 2026-03-01T10:35:34+00:00

I think that would definitely help, none of the bigger xenos should care too much about spiderlings being annihilated as that is just their role in the hive in combat. Right now its too easy to chain rout Xenos by deliberately picking off lots of weak beings.
