USA and USSR the superpowers... or not?

[Demonicjapsel]

Javelin could be F&F, but there are alternate options and spike is also supposed to be F&F. The US doesn't have any other infantry ATGMs except dragon, which is garbage.

RAH-66 is an OH-1 with more stingers and a cannon, or an OH-1 with 6 hellfires and a cannon. I honestly wanted it instead of Longbow.

I consider the longbow preferable to the RAH66 on the grounds that the longbow did enter service, and as such, deserves priority over comperable helos that did not.

the US needs buffs, it needs fixing the M1 line, reroll some of the useless pattons into something halfway decent, reroll the airtab and grant the top Paladin guided munitions to offset low rof with unrivalled precision. That would make for a nice contrast as well. USSR relies on AoA, while the US relies on precision as they did IRL.

Give it standard artillery dispersion whrn firing blind and a very small dispersion when your units draw line of sight. This would diffirentiate the 109A6 from the 109A5NL, which is flatout better then it.

As for the javelin, i feel its a bit OOTF, but depending on the stats wouldn't argue heavily against it. I do feel the US infantry tab is better served with some tweaks and buffs then anything else

If there would be a RAH-66 in game it would cost a shitload of points, so the question is, is it better to have longbow for a reasonable amount of points, or super omnipotent Comanche with a biiiig paycheck (I cannot see it being cheaper than 190 even 200, since aa, hellfire, rocketpods, cannon, mix those into 3 + stealth), that could still get easily shot down by 25 point aa infantry

I don't get this.

Comanche is already in the game, it's called the OH-1. it just has a 20mm cannon and more Stingers.

Comanche CANNOT carry all munitions without stub wings and thus losing stealth. Comanche could carry EITHER six Hellfires OR 12 stingers in the internal bays. Not both, and no rocket pods.

I consider the longbow preferable to the RAH66 on the grounds that the longbow did enter service, and as such, deserves priority over comperable helos that did not.

It doesn't fit where it is. RAH-66 was the follow-on to Kiowa Warrior, AH-64D was Apache+.

First full-system test firing was 1993 and full deployment was 1996.

Thought that the OH-1 Ninja and RAH-66 Comanche are different things, though, now that you've explained in more detail how LO wold look, I am totally missing why would you switch longbow for this, except if you reaaaalllyyy looooooveeee that heli that much.

They're both stealth helicopters with Stingers.

And Longbow shouldn't be a recon helicopter because it wasn't one. Yeah it had good sensors... but so did AH-1W, and AH-64A. It should've been the god-king of anti-tank gunships.

RAH-66 was the next-generation recon bird.

Ahaaaa, now I get you completely. Well I guess our playstyle is different since I still don't get why would you need a recon stealth AA heli in USA in favor of longbow. To elaborate, without any negativity intended, supercobra has aim9, daps have the same stuff for less money, I dig only the stealth part, and even that ain't wooow for helos, at least that is what practice has shown me thus far.

[RoadkillRodger]

the US needs buffs, it needs fixing the M1 line,

I've actually had decent results using base M1 as an fsv, imo it functions somewhat better than the bmpt when you consider price and AT capacity.

Consider WW2. The USA was lagging in tech behind the germans, the soviets were un the stone age but still they won, strategically.

You know, just to demonstrate your knowledge, I'm going to make a statement.

The Sherman was a better tank than the Tiger.

I'll add the panther in for free.
