2. It's not inaccurate enough. One squad of RPG gunners are able to take out multiple vehicles firing on them with .50 cal at once from long range.

4. It's still hard for airborne infantry to flank a chinese MG or bunker that needs to be destroyed with heavy weapons, while artillery strikes or something can be used for other branches all over the map alongside AT soldiers. It seems like the airborne are uniquely disadvantaged. As is, the Chinese seem OP. Their regulars machine gun, rpg gunners, bunkers, and mortar are cheaper, sooner deployed, *and* more effective than US equivalents. Because of superior numbers, they can afford to throw constant waves against the enemy that can see ahead while their mortars pound away and their scout car catches all resource points before US has enough fuel to field mortars and even then can't return fire, so 99% of my games are falling back to base and desperately trying to hold out until I can build a stryker mortar and bradley to counter their mortars and air strikes, and over the next 2 or so hours slowly push back. It's not balanced or as enjoyable as it could be, imo.

6. That does sound easier and better if it's done.

My views may be slanted since I play more against AI than people and I like my concept of realism, but it frustrates me as is. It's still the best mod I've tried though, and I wouldn't play it if I didn't like it.

It'd be nice if
1. the Marine SMAW gunner could aim and fire faster.
2. RPGs had shorter range.
3. Mortars could attack ground/blind fire to the same range they can do aimed or barrage fire, and if they didn't reveal their position to those they were firing upon. This would give units a chance to counter when there is no one near to spot, but would still be a challenge to guess or actually locate. Being completely helpless and unrealistic is no good. Also, the Marine M106 mortar carrier seems kinda short or the chinese too long ranged. I don't think their infantry mortars outrange self propelled mortars IRL.
4. Most important of all - The US airborne could call CAS on areas not captured.
5. A Marine infantry squad could be equipped with both M27 and SMAW and also have the options for grenade launcher, SAW, and M136 since the Marines also use those IRL.
6. US had MANPADS and/or purpose AA vehicle like M163 VADS, or an AN/TWQ-1 Avenger upgrade for the Humvee.
