Default Re: What are your favorite units in the game?

My favourite units (no order of preference) are:

MLRS - time the arrival of MLRS cluster munitions right so that you have 'bounding artillery' strikes, and you can keep squashing the enemy as they advance. That's a great tactic to employ when playing a meeting engagement. By the time the enemy reach the victory hexes (or even get close) so little is left that the remainder of your advance is essentially a mopping-up op.

Great anti-armour weapon, also great for wiping out clusters of infantry. But what's best of all is that MLRS units automatically respond with counter-battery fire, with great effect. Unfortunately MLRS does not exist in the real Canadian Army T0&E, so when playing Canada v some other country, I have to attach US forces (equipped with MLRS) as a substitute. I will be working soon on an OOB for a fictional, in-the-future Canadian Army which actually has some decent kit including MLRS.

M777 155mm howitzer - it's capable of lobbing cluster munitions and is fairly cheap to buy. It's a half-decent alternative to MLRS if your buy points are limited. Just don't expect to blast away wide swaths of enemy forces.

Leopard 2A6EX/Strv122 - Far and away my favourite tanks - superb fire control, excellent armour (only the M1A2 is better in this area), great mobility.

CV9040 IFV - The 40mm main gun on this Swedish-built IFV just destroys infantry in the open, most wheeled/older tracked APC's with first-round hits, some older tanks if hit obliquely or from the rear.

Centauro tank destroyer - This thing is fast and potent. Half-decent armour. It's an ideal tool for conducting rapid advances and exploiting the enemy's weak spots.
