Sadly, there is a lot to the game that is un realistic, however these are civvie game developers, spotty nerds.

I am ex forces as well, and a lot of the game makes me wet much (I cannot use the p word) me off because it is not that realistic at the best of times.

Stealth Bombers auto bombing when they should not do so, after all it is a billion pound air craft.

Top level infantry wandering into enemy units, and fighting hand to hand, rather than using their mortars

Sam's being stacked so you cannot Tom Cruise the enemy, if you have sam's stacked they should all go off at once, so if you fire one missile, all five of them should go off at once, and the second Tom Cruise, should hit.

You could go on all day about how unrealistic the game is, however, at least it gives the arm chair generals fun.

well considering how many units have the option to airassault and the crazy amount of mobility it gives it seems to me deliberately to balance that out to require the player to commit to it

If you let them patrol above enemies they'll of course attack them, thats the way patrol mechnic works
there is this neat feature called "fire control" enabling ranged units to take an agressive stance and attacking anyhting in range when moving to a target.

there is this thing called game balance

- you paying supports the game dev, idk if you have noticed but the game and its content is completly free and developers are humans too meaning they need money to get paid for their job
- security council is extremly cheap, of course its your decision if you want to pay or not but then dont expect the QOL stuff that it offers to become free
- i was just pointing out that gold as an option exist^^
- stalking you? lol no im just active on the forums
- thank you for your concern but im perfectly capable without gold, tho you might want to calm down a bit there as gold shaming is pretty much against TOS if i remember it right (after all you're basically insulting dorados customers) and there isnt any need to be that rude
sidenote: for someone bragging about being that good youre stats sure dont back up that claim

ok, lets ignore some (one) of the Posters here (i din´t mean you Teburu ) and go back to the intiol Post of chucullain.

I´m pretty sure we all have some Things which lack some technical precision.
Plz remember:
This is a WarGAME, it is not a 100% precise simulation of Warfare now or in future (how could it)
As a Strategic game it has to follow some rules, one core rule is balancing.

It is part of the Devs Job (Praise the Devs) that Every country has the same chances (more or less,... and not counting the micronations ^^)
Also it should prevented that one Unit is completely overpowered.
We all like the diversity in playstyles. THis would be missing if everyone is only focusing on some Uber-Combo (national Guard + Corvettes + Naval AWACS + ICBM)

Actual, this game allows differnt strategies, and there is definetly more than one way to play it successfull.
I, from my point of View, am more thn willing to agree to some compromises to play such a longterm long fun satisfying and free 2 play game.
