Wargame red dragon best deck3/2/2023 ![]() ![]() South Korea lacks the exceptional long ranged ATGM options, but it gets a great ATGM plane, a similar heavy tank, a great medium (although really better at forest fighting than open field engagements, requiring very substantial smoke micro), and SEAD. It still lacks for a real superheavy and its supporting medium tanks are mediocre. China fares the best, since it gets a decent heavy tank, which while it cannot stand up against superheavies at long ranges, at least can threaten enemy superheavies, a mediocre, if unexceptional, ATGM plane, SEAD, long ranged extremely high AP ATGM options in the form of the WZ-550, and great air defense. Czechoslovakia gets the best-armored superheavy, the Moderna, good long-range fire support options such as the Pram which offers long-ranged HE and ATGM options, an ATGM plane which although it lacks for fire and forget missiles is survivable and generally can kill a superheavy frontally, SEAD, and medium tanks with long ranged gun-fired missiles to support.Ĭhina, South Korea, and Australia come out behind. Still, this is definitively the best environment for Japan, with excellent opportunities to use its great reconnaissance options with the Ninja, its super heavy, acceptable air defense, and supporting ATGMs such as the Chu-Mat. Japan's superheavy also only gets 20 armor, which is better, but no ATGM plane, and no SEAD. On top of this, its superheavy tank is not quite a superheavy - it only gets 19 armor, making it significantly more vulnerable to enemy AP weapons. Sweden's ineffective air defense makes it vulnerable to air attack while its poor SEAD means it has trouble pressing an attack on enemy forces, while its ATGM plane is mediocre. None of the nations are per se the "best" at open field engagements, which goes to the USSR, Israel, and to some extent the USA, but Japan, Sweden, and Czechoslovakia probably come out the best, since they have superheavy tanks or something approaching that.

Or what about ATGM planes? If one listed just ATGM planes, then Finland's tiny little CM.170 would fulfill the role just as the Super Galeb does for Yugoslavia-but there is a world of difference between a 60 point, x2 20 AP, 35% accuracy MCLOS missiles on 0% ECM platform that goes 600 kilometers per hour compared to Yugoslavia's 900 kilometers per hour, 30% ECM, x2 30 AP, 60% accuracy, fire and forget Super Galeb! One can get around this somewhat by specifying "decent" or "effective," but again this all relies on personal subjectivity. This is somewhat subjective, since what one considers to be, let us say, an effective 5 point infantry transport can be questionable - some are clearly bad, such as the Soviet MT-LBV with bad armor, inadequate weaponry, and only mediocre speed, and the gold standard is clearly the 2-3 armor, multiple machine gun, good speed vehicles like the French AMX-13 VTT, Israeli Zelda (probably the best in the game due to 3 machine guns, admittedly mediocre speed, and 2 armor), M113A3, KM200 - but what about vehicles like the Bardelas which get 3 machine guns but only 1 armor, or the OT-62A with only a small machine gun, mediocre speed, and 1 side armor, but 2 front armor? Furthermore, some categories are not worth nearly as much as others: an exceptional optics unit, for example, is worth significantly less than a good medium tank. Thus, I adapted the same metric I used for judging Australia, with some updates: find out which nations are missing which category of unit. ![]()
