My general cmbs thoughts are its a bit bugged
needs a patch badly
is pro US

Humm, well the equipment in real life is pro US, as you likely know. Do not expect that to change. Certainly balance issues can be changed in terms of rarity and points etc. I believe the announcement of the 1.03 patch discusses that.

u can take lots of jav teams and kill all russian tanks with them too easy

Yep. Nasty kit those Javelins. But they have their disadvantages - heavy and not a lot of ammo.

jav teams need to be restricted with rarity

I do not recall anything about that in the patch announcement. I wonder what they will do with that especially as there was mention of infantry getting cheaper.

russian tank dies in one hit from us tank

Right. You think that is wrong? The T90 and the T72 before it have a limit to how much armour they can have and they also have ammo storage issues. Couple that with the wicked gun on the M1 and one shot one kill is pretty much what you are going to get.

T90s and T72 can take plenty of punishment from other opponents.

ive found it frustrating as russians

Yeah it sure can be. I am playing a mirror match of First Clash and in both games the Russians are kicking ass and taking names. And the US has plenty of M1s in that fight. So, there are ways to win as the Russians.

Cmbs weapons - russian AT missle vehicle - supersonic one is designed to shoot from behind a hull down position and only missile is visible along with sensor but game cannot model this due to engine restrictions
so immediately u are at a disadvantage as the equipment cannot work as designed

Yeah, a bummer for sure. I hope changes can be made to address this.

and they are not shooting properly anyway. I''e had them sitting staring at tanks they can see for 1-2

I have not see this - and I test that every single build. Once the M1 is spotted aiming begins and missiles away pretty fast. The aiming takes longer than a T90 and spotting is slow. But once they spot the M1 they try to kill it. And they fire salvo so even APS has trouble dealing with it.

But given the issue about not being able to fire from full vehicle down positioning them is tricky and given their slowness they need good concealment.
