Russkies in Oklahoma!

Thats exactly what i did when i wanted to see how things might fare in and SPMBT world, took the Ukraine, but from what i hear the Georgian have US equipment as well.

As having studied modern war for my masters and all the little technological nik knacks that make up its complex mechanism its interesting to see that while MBT is not as accurate as it could be it recreates the same dynamic in its own way, you have to choose wisely but you need to cover all your bases and as you seem to have found out, if your Opp skimps on an area of gear it can be exploited.

For me the simplified formulas is this

ATGM trump armor
infantry trumps armor at close range
armor trumps other armor
Air power kicks ass or goes down in flames
Arty suppresses

This means that I end up nosing my armor and infantry forward in little leapfrogs, trying to draw out the things which I can trump while not getting my trumpable units trumped.

Or if digging in I use the old German rule of get forward and make them attack you, ie small defense/large offense idea which works well against the com, live Opps I dont know which is why I want to take up some MBT battles, the old urge is coming back.

of course the computer is not so subtle and if countered well just keeps on pushing till its doom, but there are some battles in MBT where its a much smaller Allied forces vers a horde of Russians which if handled by a live player would probably run amok over the smaller force deployed there if ot for the wealth of RPGs and ATGMs which the US and its allies seem to have, god forbid what a US assault on a Russian position would look like.

The drone thing works pretty wel, I tested it to see which did and didnt and it can be pulled off, the only problem is iff your Opp has lots of ammo resupply and then you have to count the shots and bag them in the intervals. tricky stuff.
