I honestly have just given up on this mod, after wasting 200MB patching it to the newest version and trying the new hardcore mode in Skirmish, its left me wanting to punch the screen as hard as I can.

First off, the American mortar carrier is *stupidly* effective, the AI will ***** the life out of it and any infantry unit or support weapon you have will be unable to engage it and will be killed by it. The closest Chinese equiv, the MRLS trucks, are incredibly inaccurate and useless by comparison, I have trained two down on a Mortar carrier and I ended up having to send in rocket launcher infantry to finish it, the infantry then took a good five seconds to aim, seconds they often do not have.

Next off, the Chinese tanks in hardcore mode, are worthless, either an ATGM Stryker will two-hit them from beyond its range and then you'll be flooded by normal Strykers. Or worse, four soldiers with a Javelin will casually stroll up to your tank, while your tank ****** bullets at them, and then launch the up to four missiles needed to kill tanks up to the ZTZ99A1. IF your lucky? Well your tank may just use its gigantic machinegun to kill one of the Javelin crew, probably not though.

See the picture here? Your infantry will be slaughtered by the endless barrage of hellfire from Mortar carriers, if you relied on infantry and support weapon AT then they will die and you will be flooded with Strykers. If you manage to get tanks out, they will be killed in short order by Strykers and Javelin teams that the tanks can fight and your infantry can't fight as they have been by now, killed by Mortar carriers and MG armed Strykers.

I assume I'd have a lot more fun if I played as the USA but to be frank I did not get the mod just so I could play Uncle Sam all day. So I heavily suggest that unless you either like being frustrated day in day out, or you have a massive hard on for all things American, do not use this mod
