Thermal Imaging and US Infantry

[Suhiir]

The current OOB includes MGs and AGLs with TI as x1 (meaning the AI may buy them rarely) and x3 (meaning the AI will never buy them) items and I'm going to recommend the removal of TI equipped squads and fire teams and the addition of real MARSOC units with a unique unit class.

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

I would respectfully disagree and suggest instead that the AI should have these made available to them. In the following long campaigns (Of at least 21 battles or longer.) I've played or are playing currently against Russia the result has been the same w/Ukraine, Sweden, Norway, Finland, U.S. and currently France the T-72B3 has fought in EVERY battle of those campaigns. This notion that the AI will unlikely pick a piece of equipment due to cost or any other reason is just a bunch of, well to put it nicely...crap. Even in choice of air assets I've seen some of the more advanced fighter bombers appear to my displeasure. I've always and will continue to advocate for as strong an AI as can be made possible within the limitations of Andy and Dons time and the games engine. To get a true result of your abilities is why I play the longer campaigns because it seems every once in a while it shows me something different I have to adjust to. I would love to play a PBEM game out here but it doesn't fit my life style, schedule or my personal commitment I've put on myself concerning this game. So I say please don't hinder the capabilities of the AI and do what can be done to make it better. Better too fight a "Tiger" than a "Paper Tiger".

Thank You!
