NERF 76TH VDV

[Kamikaze Velociraptor]

This division is way too cartoonish and kills any game from 1v1 to 10v10. They don't need a zerg rush of infantry backed by modern IFV in large numbers. Four mig31 and over 20 BMD3 just makes this division too cheesy. Give the division only access to 8 BMD3 and two MIG31s. Not to mention the endless spam of infantry which doesn't make sense for an airborne division.

In 1v1, the 76th suffers from no helicopter and expensive elite units. Limited units and unable to rapidly response to enemy breakthroughs.
For example, 1v1 is where the 152e shine the most because it is possible to spam enough units to overwhelm a 76th player's mirco, which enable the 152e player to take capture points.
However, as he correctly stated, 10v10 is where the 76th becomes one of the strongest decks while the 152e performance declines sharply.
The 76th player can spam MiG-31s to zone the opposite team air, and its elite forward deployed infantries and numerous ATGMs enable the 76th to rapidly take a middle zone and hold out long enough for friendly teammates to reinforce. The French and American Airbornes have no really good infantry counter to the 76th or 35th elite infantry.
The BMD-3 are wonderful defensive units against enemy MBTs with their 23 AP ATGM and high accuracy, and they can one shot even M1A1[HA] from the side. Moreover, it can bring plenty of decent artillery such as MRLS and NOVA 120mm, which outperform the 105mm of the US/French.
Meanwhile, the 152e only strength of cheap infantries spam get easily counter by the sheer amount of Redfor rocket artillery. The French light tank are not worth it whatsoever, I tried upvetting them to 2-3 stars and they still miss a lot of their shots. Their air are not up to par to some of the Soviet deck, artillery are not very mobile and susceptible to counter battery, and their only good ground units aka the radar-based SAM is frequently countered by Redfor SEADs.
All in all, the developers have a history of using only ranked games (aka 1v1) and smaller team games to determine their balance. So don't expect any changes to the 76th with using the 10v10 as a basis.

101st has more elite infantry than both 35th or 76th.
And airborne divs are bad in 10v10 - any full airborne deck is one less deck with tanks. So you can just overwhelm them with tanks/artillery after 15 minutes or so and no amount of IFVs or ATGMs can help them; more so without helis.

Could you, please, elaborate on this topic?
What are those weaknesses?

76y in 1v1 suffers so much that it is currently considered the best div according to the statistics gathered by the SDL iirc.

It would be good to see it and how they collected it - and if it’s a true stats or the personal opinion of Protoss about it

5e French armored is a hard counter to this division, I agree with the others, this sounds like a skill issue
