Hello all,
I have been playing CoN for over a month and a half now, with my very first game (as Poland on 26-player map) still ongoing.
Despite my conquests, I still have not figured out what use Combat Recon Vehicles and Mechanized Infantry.
So far my unit combos are as follows:
Land: 2 MBTs and 3 Motorized Infantry
Naval Landings: 2 Amphibious Combat Vehicles and 3 Marines
Airborne: 2 Airmobile Infantry, 2 Tank Destroyers, and 1 Towed Artillery
Helicopters: 3 Gunships and 2 Attack
Naval: 3 Destroyers, 2 Frigates
Carrier: 2 Cruisers, 2 Frigates, 1 Carrier
Carrier Air: 4 Naval Strike Fighters and 3 ASW Helicopters
So if I could get some help on:
A) What's the point of CRVs and Mechanized?
B) Are these good unit formations?
Thanks!

carrier combo is the worst as both frigates and cruiser are vulnerable against sub ,better add 2 destroyer in the stack and remove frigates or remove 1 frigate and 1 cruiser.Ivan Romanov wrote:

Only use them when playing as normal countries with not much coastal cities

My strategies involve a strong airforce/navy and I never have a need for any sort of land units other than national guard, Sams, and multiple rocket launchers. If you have a strong airforce/air defense you dont have to worry about attacks from another players airforce. And a strong navy keeps you homeland ports defended form enemy ships. If you have a strong airforce you dont need a strong ground force because your airforce can take out all enemy units then, if your me you move in national guard to take all the cities and provinces. This strategy plays for the least amount of casualties possible. Mix up fighters and helicopters though in case your enemy has Sams. This is my suggestion. Crvs are not worth the price you pay, neither are any infantry other ng. Maechanized are good pared with mbt and tds yes, but you dont need them.

While your strategy definitely works on AI or noobs in Flashpoint, and I can definitely see that working in a few situations, I don't think this always works.There's a few points where I think there is room for improvement.
1.) Radar- the presence of an AWAC does not remove the use of Radar(awac cannot see infantry + awac is expensive and needs to be protected)
2.) Motorized infantry > NG because motorized infantry you can leave it alone for a bit, playing NG requires micro management since they can't win a single battle.
3.) "all enemy units then" while it's definitely true most people in public matches have no anti air, when you run into that guy that has frigates/sams... you're forced to use MRLs. While that works in alliance matches, definitely a lot of micro management.
4.) What if your enemy has ASF? Praying your enemy doesn't know how to rig the timer is not the way to go.
Suggestions:
- Add radar
- use mot infantry not NG since they can hold their own in battle(which allows MRL to fire rounds)
- Air Force is good, but don't make it your only offensive unit.

Maxed EU SF vs Maxed US ASF(stacks of 5)
SF:
HP: 150
Damage to plane: 30
Speed: 12
ASF:
HP: 125
Damage to plane: 100
Speed: 16
I think it's safe to say that SF attacking ASF is not a good idea.
Even level 3 ASF does 12 damage to plane
not even tier 2 and its double maxed Sf damage
also unless you had ground based radar you would have no way of making sure there are no hidden units
awacs don't detect infantry

makes sense. just sometimes there's a couple hundred of those provinces so it'd make sense to use radar to make your life easier + get an early warning on ships and enemy bombers
also sams are not perfect they can be triggered by CMs/uavs which starts their cooldown

Well go ahead, I’ll have my own subs and frigates to counter that. Not to mention all I need to do if you spam subs is to just build NPAs and GGHakaishin wrote:

That's a lot of components, research, and airbases just to have your naval stack of frigates outranged by subs and your naval patrol getting continuously pounded by anti-air. Cruiser spam only works when your opponent isnt prepared for it which admittedly is often...japan samurai wrote:
