I hope we will meet the PLA again in a future Wargame and that time properly.

To sum it up, NK tank, apc and even artillery crews are training in simulators combat vs air targets. Thought it might be interesting (despite the meme factor).
But anyways, making NK a faction that uses asymmetric tactics, low tech weapons but effective ones (perhaps buffing the dual 14.5mm accuracy to 20%) + exploiting units and their loadouts to the fullest would have transformed it into more than the comic relief for Sovkor that it still is now.

You mean other than you are on top of a big target, totally exposed, without any additional protection? There's a reason why crew serve weapons are transitioning over to RWS.
On top of that, you have the NK military, which apparently barely even trains the majority of its soldiers, not to mention obviously can't feed them properly or give them proper health care, and you want to drop even more training on top of what they already have to do? Combined with how they waste so much time helping farmers?
Yeah, Juche's military is pretty much just there for the LuLz.

I thought Juche more elite forces are very well trained, not sure about its armored force. I wont be surprised they would be more trained than the normal juche since they are handling the expensive hardware. And is it that hard to learn to use a manpad? I mean, rebels use it too.
And is that exposed that can't be used? The anti aircraft gun on tanks are pretty exposing too (the upper half) Though i dont think its a very good idea on a tank that would be in very front in a battle. Apc, spg seems like a not bad idea when you know your big SAM are going to die basically instantly in a fullwar. Decentralized AA seems like a good idea despite being just manpads will still be somewhat a threat.

All in all, RD mech is one of my go to fun decks right now.

Zsu-57 spam is particularly useful against decks that rely upon SEAD and high tier ATGM carriers, though they can get manhandled pretty roughly by clusters if you don't have a critical mass. They're also great against Helos
