RM-70.

Take a not very useful MLRS, nearly double it's price, and give it no major advantage.


I agree with you that the B-21 and the RM-70 aren't very useful. They are so unaccurate and weak that making them firing is just a waste of supplies. It bothers me because I think it was much more useful in real life and because, on a emotional ground, I like the RM-70. It looks like a MLRS should look and it seems powerful when you look at it. But, when you see the price and the actual firepower, you never use it again except for flavor in single player.

About the Strela 10, I don't understand why it's so inaccurate. It's even more unaccurate that the MANPAD Strela 3. It's a waste of deployment points. The OSA AKM is much better.

So what does everyone think the most pointless units in the game are?

IMO:
KAMAS ZU-23-2


I really like the kamaz, the 90 KM/H speed is very useful, and they drop choppers dead just like any other AA-unit.

Agreed, this is the one AA missile vehicle that is pretty bad for the price. You don't get an alternative vehicle for picking it either unlike OSA. It would be nice if you get SA-9 (which isn't in the game) and SA-13 as a single selection on the deck, and the missiles themselves are so inaccurate and are shorter ranged than OSA AKM...

I actually find the MT-LB strelas pretty useful if u spend the extra points to vet them and use them in pairs. Sure they miss a lot, but finding a way to keep everything supplied is part of the game

Problem is that stat wise, they are outclassed.... For the same price.

Every time you want to buy Strela-10, buy instead Strela-3 infantry or Osa AKM. It's much better. They fullfil the same role, but are just better at it.

IGLA infantry are well worth the extra money. MANPAD Infantry have limited ammo and no armour, so they can't afford to miss.

The thing about OSA is that you get 3 vehicles for one deck option. Furthermore, the missiles on the 9K33 OSA AKM outrange the Strela-10 by almost 700 meters and its faster and cheaper by a bit.

And when base unit cost is cheaper, it is also corresponding cheaper to buy vet levels to make up for the very poor base accuracy.

In exchange, you lose just 1 point of front armor, making you vulnerable to 12.7mm MG fire and half the missile payload. I would suggest choosing the more flexible AA option in this case unless you're short on Command Stars.

The Raketanpanzer to me felt useless, sure it's 15 points but for something that's Acc 3, it's kinda hard to miss why I rather take something like the I-Tow jeep instead.
