The Combined Arms is a type of Unit. Combined arms units are a jack of all trades but master of none. These units are most similar to factions pre-V7.2, with most types of vehicles presented in the Main Base.

Gameplay[]

  • The Combined Arms Unit Type focuses on a balanced roster with vehicles made up of different configurations.
  • The defensive setup has no ATGM Emplacement and has high-tier vehicles reduced in number or in a Delayed Timer.
  • Combined Arms unit has three Infantry Fighting Vehicles available by default. But there are exceptions:
    • BAF has four IFVs available, in exchange for one less Open-Top jeep.
    • USA has two M1126 APCs and one M2A3 Bradley IFV.
    • VDV and PLAAGF have two IFVs and one MGS vehicle.
  • Combined Arms unit has three Light Vehicles available by default, normally consisting of 2 open-top HMG and one RWS HMG. But there are exceptions:
    • ADF and BAF open-top only has 7.62mm MMG turrets.
    • BAF only has one open-top HMG, as mentioned above.
    • CAF light vehicles only have 7.62mm MMG; moreover, its open-top vehicles are unarmored jeeps.
    • USMC replaces its RWS light vehicle with two AAVP heavy APCs.
    • PLAAGF does not have light vehicles, but open-top HMG APCs. PLANMC has one less open-top HMG APC than PLAAGF, possibly due to an oversight.
    • VDV does not have light vehicles, but lightly armored BTR-D APCs, and one of the APCs is the BTR-ZD anti-air artillery, making VDV setup having the highest firepower density.
