Best DLC to get?

[Radzui]

I am just wondering I got money to get a DLC but I do not know which one to get. I was thinking the USMC one cuz I love the USMC but I see people use the NATO one alot more so I need some help deciding.

[Kraznova]

I only have Marines, but the impression I get is that if you are looking for a dazzling display of American firepower, get Marines. If you want more of a challenge, using units with unique capabilities and profiles, get NATO.

NATO has the most diverse content as it brings in the armies of a couple non-US countries.

I suggest either NATO or British for your first, the Marines play so similarly to the US Army that I feel you’re not getting nearly as much new content. Personally, I prefer the British over NATO but NATO does you 3 separate nations, which is definitely nice.

The Marines DLC also has Syrian special forces, airborne troops, T-90s and BMP-3s. And Marines have big squads but no javelins at the platoon level. They play quite differently.

Nato is good because it has lots of variety and if you're into multiplayer and PBEM it is often the DLC of choice.

Personally I have had the most fun with the Brits.

Yeah Marines is still quite good, but you don't get as many new toys, just the same hardware but organized differently, and LAVs/AAVs.

If you want BOOOOM, grab marines.

UK is cool but its puzzeling in my eyes, for each 4man team there are what seems like 3 useless vehicles on the map, they come with landrovers and goofy cars with not even gun shields where a stray burst kills half the crew and transports that hold like 4 persons each, that is the most stupid thing in the game i think, if you can deal with that, UK is fun

NATO has lot of toys, Leopard 1 and 2A4 is nice, but most NATO scenarios are not very beginner friendly, the nato forces are more ticky to play compared to Army and USMC.

So if you more a beginner i would recomend USMC, but that is just me.

Don't forget that you can play Blue vs Blue / Red vs Red. Blue vs Red get's boring fast.

NATO gives you not only most diverse toys for BvB but on top of it Red trucks + air assets (!) + Shilkas (!!).

Red does have Ural 4320 in the base game, you only get the zil 131 on top with nato. USMC has the t90 though, that is nice to have too.

You get also Uncon AA technicals with NATO.
Like Shilkas they can fire on ground targets.

Thats right, the ZSU-23-2 technical is a fun toy to use, lil bit fragile though
Wish they would sell these at my local toyota dealer.
