Those artillery guns are REALLY underused. And there should be more of those :D :D

Plus there's the C2's up-armored a*s...(the fuel drums on its back use the same material as the fron armor for those who don't know)

Fools Road is hardly unbalanced TBH. Yes, GB has med kits + scopes. The Militia have Tanks, AT Guns, a practically impenetrable fortress, and the ability to cut off all GB vehicles except for land rovers and CO Trucks.

Like mentioned before, the AT guns are way useful. I integrate them into ambushing techniques, often as a back-up weapon for use on large convoys where the little C4 and mines we have will be all used up on the first vehicles. Use the AT guns in complement with an RPG team and take out APCs and vehicles fast.

Very few maps in PR are bias toward one team or another. 99.9% the better team will win the game, unless its Oman. I really haven't seen it to be a problem really. Fools is asymmetrically balanced, and the better team will win every time, although it requires the militia team to recognize their strengths and use them rather than play it like its a normal map.

There are a few things asset wise that obviously aren't balanced, like the up-armored CH2 and the EF2000, but there are ways round this. For a start, CH2s go down as easy as T90s, as long as you dont hit those drums on the back. A good tank crew in a T90 will pwnzer an average tank crew in a CH2 any day.

The EF2000 is miles better than the J10, no argument, but its advantages in terms of maneuverability and speed have absolutely minimal impact on the battles outcome. Yes they are huge advantages in dogfights, but where the EF and J10 really count on that map is delivering their LGBs, and turn radius doesn't affect that in the slightest. Add to that the fact that dogfights on Qinling are rare as anything, and again we come to the conclusion that the better team will win the round.

^^Blow the bridge, set a mine on the road (or the bridge) and get a guy with an SVD or Mosin to overwatch the bridge. You can also easily ambush Brits with roadbombs as they cross the bridge

It's pretty true, but remember it's project reality; in real life those factions do loose a lot and they do have underpowered weapons. Finally, SA7's just fine when I use it on Merlin, so...

would be nice if militia had lower respawn times to reflect their greater numbers in an moblike uprising, also better opfor equipment would be welcome. BRINGing SVD back to al-bararah is a must

Humm, if you decrease their spawn time but keep the same ticket amount ... problem no ? :wink:


Tickets are supposed to represent their greater numbers.

But mixing more tickets + slightly lower respawn, while the brits get better assets would seem reasonable as our modern armies do tend to depend on their their equipment rather then large numbers to make a difference.

Asymmetric makes things more interesting.

Because i end them all :D

and IRL the Eurofigher is ONE OF (i wont voice my opinion to prevent a best fighter thread) the best fighters in the world and the J-10 isnt that great, maybee until its fixed the mig-29 can be used as a place holder?

The problem with qinling and the jets is not the dogfights rather that the eurofighter can bomb the heck out of everything and reload, stafe ground targets and reload/repair again. Whereas the J-10 can´t reload or repair. I don´t know a single person who can land the J-10 100% of the time and not just the odd lucky attempt.

give the Mig-29 some bombs and shove it on the PLA side :)
