Keep some ATGM teams in reserve and some Merkavas to protect the Pereh's. and buy three of four coys of infantry to act as speed bumps should the AI actually get tanks onto your side of the map.

Now. that said they are not totally a game changing "Wunderwaffe".They are not nearly as effective against top of the line 21st century armour as they are when dealing with the threat they were designed to counter ( they aren't useless against new armour just not so much " Rods from God".....

Read the guide on how they are used ( now that it's fixed with the 'b' version) then "have fun".

Ha I practiced using the British Exactor for NLOS & the Typhoons armed with 18 brimstones a piece.
The planes really would come into their own if you were attacking/assaulting, cant call them in quick enough to stop all advancing armour.

Expensive but 2 Flights of Typhoons & 1 SEAD flight gives 6 planes carrying 88 missiles!! I had one SEAD damaged but no doubt technology saves lives for the side with the advantage.
