Being anti-military IRL, Im clueless as to the purpose and intent of certan units except for the basics. So yea imma ogo hide in a hole xD.

Now's probably not the best place for negotiating prices, but I could let the Mi-24A go for as low as $5 million apiece. Mi-24D would go for around $7.5 million.

And if you need anything else Soviet-bloc and aging, talk to the Lolzi Army Quartermaster Corps. We're not saying it's good, we're saying it's cheap.


And Immoren, I think it would actually be pretty worthless...I could see the benefits in doing that, but I don't think they'd need to be under the same official corps command to reap them. If you want to send the air assault brigade ahead of the armor, you don't really have to put them under the same organic command; though you totally could, I think a separate air assault brigade would work pretty much as well.

But, then again, corps-level units are very diverse in terms of their composition. Stranger combinations have occurred.

And Kamchastkia, in this context "air assault" refers to (typically) heli-borne infantry and their supporting elements. Basically air cavalry.

Airborne infantry with armor Why?

When you put a full-size tank turret on the front, and then mount a howitzer on the back like a freaking scorpion tail, you're either the smartest person I know or a total dumbass with no understanding of engineering whatsoever...not sure on which way it would have turned out.

You are talking about the newer built FCM F1-2 right?
I am talking about the one that actually drove. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_2C

A Rifle Army numbers 80 - 130,000 men, 1,500-2,000 guns and mortars, 50-500 rocket launchers, and 30-250 self-propelled guns.

A division numbers some 10.000 men (10,670 in a guards rifle division), 50 field guns, 175 mortars and 50 anti-tank guns.

Got any complaints about this format?

Checked the wiki, and trust me, you're going to want to have some number of tanks in practically everything division-level or higher, regardless of its designation. Combined arms is...well, it's a pretty big deal.

Need three basic types, Mechanized, Motorized and Armored.

Mechanized for da IFVs.

Motorized for da APCs

Armored fo da MBTs

Also pic wise your shock infantry are lighter than your riflemen. You typically want your shock units to be well trained and carry more than the average infantryman since they will most likely expel more than the average infantryman.

Why did I even go through the freaking trouble of writing a tactics page if nobody cares...

Shock infantry are supposed to mobile....The average infantryman is supposed to be used for defense.

Also us the saying with Deep Battle goes:A good counter offensive is a good defense to everything.

Shock infantry can be heavy and mobile.

You also have no APCs or IFVs in your military as well from what it seems.

SMGs for your cream of the crop? Thats called state-assisted suicide.

NVGs and FLIR easily break the smoke grenades.

Zig zag is wut. This isn't an early 20th Century naval battle.
