The Chinese clearly have the advantage on that map. All a TOW can do is neutralize the Chinese Armor advantage, where as Tanks can engage APC's AND Infantry. Yes the USMC has APC's, but they are nowhere near as effective as the Tanks. And no, Little Bird's don't count, no matter how leet bhd you are with them.
Case in Point. Auto Rifleman 1, Gunship Littlebird 0.
Cool video though.
Oh and Marine, congrats, you killed a TF21 Tank Crew. Every dog has it's day. I don't bother to keep track of the number of TOW's and APC's I've killed, or the number of times I've gone 60+ - 0.

Hey, my photographic talents have made it into the PR forums! It's too bad I didn't get a screenshot of an earlier moment with the LB, where our SL LongShot100 capped the pilot while he was flying toward the Chinese side of the river, sending the LB crashing into the slope and flipping (while aflame, no less) over him. It was epic.
Anyway, yeah, don't get too excited you killed some TF21 guys, I'm sure we've handed you your *** a few times. We just don't brag about it. It is a war game, after all, you're supposed to shoot the other guy.

No the map is good because usmc can defeat chinese with these tows and use of the helis for rapid movement, usually they fail but usually public teams are **** lets be honest and tanks are just easier to own with.
Its a nice map to play because tactics matter, its probably the way alot of usmc beach assault type maps should play but never get that far
I'd be more impressed if tf21 took the maps 'clear advantage' and turned it on its head, proving they make the difference
The chinese scout heli attempts a low angle attack run on these guys

We have
