You have way too many tanks.

everyone is allowing him to have NUKE ICBM'S? how come i couldn't have any? he is only 3 days older than me!

You have way too many tanks.

Armoured divisions are our main offensive unit. We have 34 Armoured divisions. Our tanks cost us a lot of money every year and take pride in them.

A few discrepancies (no real thoughts on nukes):

Far far too many attack helos and almost no transport helicopters?

Transport helos are vital to a modern force where as while useful attack helos (esspecially the apatche) have soem problems, they aren't the ultimate battlefeild unit. Even huge militaries who absoultuly love helos (ie the USA and russia) don't have anything like that many. Gunships tend to be restricted in thier roles.


Your airforce is also rather heavy rmember that a single aircraft has a ground support crew of somewhere between 10-20men (based off nimrod squadron details, fighters might be a bit smaller).

Good point, Too many nukes, cut it down to about 20-30, you've got a hell of a lot of tanks, I'm surprised you don't ahve any Aircraft Carriers, your army seems a litle bit close combat happy, and your Airborn has too many morter teams.

I am about the size of the RL United States. During the Regan years ther were easily 10,000 ICBMs

I see someone is a regular FC customer....

But unlike the US, you have FAR more tanks, et cetera.

Honestly though, that tank amount is insane. China has about 16,000 and they have 5 times the population of you, not to mention the fact that most of them are from the 50's and all of yours are brand new!

The AH-64's are used primarily in conjunction with the tank divisions. They provide a very powerful 1-2 punch against armoured or infantry divisions.

You also use the G-11, brave man...

Can I get some info on the Individual Combat Weapon you use? Because if it is the OICW then I you must use a lot of Squad Support weapons. Adding your sniper rifles and other weaposn to the OICW and it looks like you have a way to high Squad Support : Primary weaponry ratio.

2,030 F-15s? 700 F-14s? 3,100 F-22s? 1,000 Tornados? That's not only ridiculous... that's obscene.

Or use Hind series helos... heavy gunship and troop transport all in one.

At most you would be talking about 100 per division so unless you have 280 divisions...

Throw in some Uzis, Mac-10s, Sig-Saures, and some more artillery. Thats mainly what my army uses.

Good choice with the Baretta. I love that gun!

Someone else also tried to convince Kahta --- just doesn't work.

And Kahta should know that there are tank-fired HEAT rounds that can be fired at low-flying helicopters, not mentioning the popular ADATS and Avengers.

Also, the AH-64 have a crew of 2, not 1.

You must be mistakening warheads with ICBMs. A warhead is not an ICBM.

Also, you should know that Reagan's crazy spendings on military, such as the "ship competition" with the Soviets, gained himself a lot of defecits.

EDIT

Also, posted in the other thread:

I really doubt an August nation can maintain 80,000 M2s, 28,000 AH-64s, and 400 B-2s and B-52s, plus 5000 F-15s and F/A-22s.

Also, with 75 cruisers, it is just an overkill. You need a lot more frigates and attack subs.

Aside from the overkill numbers, you are serious lacking in several other units. You need much more artillery pieces, for one thing --- towed light guns to Crusaders or Paladins. You also don't have transports and utility helicopters. You should also have humvees.

You also need a lot more logistics units for army and navy: recovery vehicles, submarine tenders, fast combat support ships, oilers, etc.

Your military also seems to lack anti-air capabilities and your ship seems to lack significant ASW capabilities. A missile defence system is not for shooting down aircraft.

I'd suggest you to cut back on the numbers for logistics units and for budget. Also, it is always wise to cut back on numbers for military effectiveness.

YOu need to retire the EA-6B and go with the new and better EF-18

The EA-6B is good enough --- although in the USN iti s already reaching its service life limit.

I like to say... nice military.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRR DDDDDDDDDUUUUUMMMMBBB

Yes, it is the OICW. The snipers are trained to act alone and not neccesarily with a squad. I like having diverise squads.

2,030 F-15s? 700 F-14s? 3,100 F-22s? 1,000 Tornados? That's not only ridiculous... that's obscene.

No, not really if I need to defend myself.

Aliright, I have $3 Trillion in cash right now from budget surpluses. I'll be posting that on my nations website shortly.

I am also going to have a running list of needed items.
