Antitank planes help defend your open spaces in a similar way to ATGM helos, but they kill much faster and are countered by heavy SAMs and ASF, not antihelo AA. A bomber can provide instant support to any weak flank that is hit by a surprise attack. Their main draw is their ability to strike anywhere on the map and their high alpha damage. A 120pt air superiority fighter has a slightly smaller kill chance than 120 points of anti-plane AA. Planes are often expensive for the firepower they bring. Rocket helos and gunships serve as a unique type of fire support – just like transports they can cover your advancing infantry and fire back on anything that threatens it, but they are not vulnerable to enemy tanks.Īs the red infantry moves up, the enemy Jäger fire back at them and are deleted by the rocket helos providing cover fire. To drive it off, expensive long-range antihelo AA is needed. They are poor offensively, but an enemy helo hovering over a forest you intend to attack will prevent your tanks from moving up and securing the forest edge. To kill a recon lav-25 shooting your advancing infantry while itself remaining invisible, you need to spot it, with recon of your own.ĪTGM helos also sidestep the firepower race of tanks.
Due to their stealth, they can prevent enemy infantry from walking into your forest even if the enemy has fire support advantage. Recon units sidestep the firepower race of tanks entirely. They all lose heavily to expensive tanks, even when massed.
Autocannons, light tanks and mediums are cheaper options for securing open space – not as good as heavy tanks, but appropriate if you do not want to spend 300 points on a particular front.
ATGM units also work well if you can protect the launch vehicle with distance, screening units or good timing. Of the ground units, heavy tanks are best at winning battles in the open. The VDV 90 have been able to walk into the enemy town because of the ZPTU-2 providing fire support and forcing enemy infantry to abandon the town edge.įorests are usually surrounded by large amounts of open space.
