Looking for a Good Nato Deck

[Beaushizzle]

I've got a great Eastern Europe Deck (Motorized) and (Mechanized), but I'm having trouble with a NATO counterpart. Basically I'm looking for decent tanks for support, above average infantry, good recon, some air superiority with decent CAS support, and it has to be relatively fast.

Halp? I was looking at British mechanized, but it seems to be a bit too slow.

Standard USA does a great slow push and you can use rifle90+m113a + marine90 or smaw + lvtpa1. Tank line up is pretty good, you have 2 cards of good heavies and below that m8ags for fire support, m1ip for forest play, m1a1 for everything in between. Scandi moto has tools (thank you RNGesus for bugged m8 mate) to deal with the standard red game play on a bunch of maps

[Beaushizzle]

Nice! Any other ideas?

[TRIUMPH]

You can get away with EC or Scandi mech for like 1v1 probably.

IF you are looking for fast go with Japanese Motorized it has good recon, cost effective but powerful tanks. The only thing I think it is lacking a bit is the air superiority Jets it has good ones but not many.

Eurocorps deck,provides you very nice push at the beginning,JAGERS with TPz FUCHS,German special forces in DORNIER DOS helicopters supported by 2 celtis and 1 recon tiger will give you the advandage from the start.
Good AA including Flakpanzer Gepard A2,CROTALE
Also good fighters like RAFALE,and a good SEAD like tornando ECR
If you want more advanced gameplay you can make a us general deck
(LOVE APACHE LONGBOW) :-))))))

Eurocop all the way. Make a general EC deck and thank me later

Eurocorp Mech, Germans supported by the French is the best mech deck in the game., motorized French is nice as far as motoruzed goes.

Great now we are gonna see Eurokorps spam again...lol

Branch out...West Germany is great by itself...as is France. NATO decks are good. SEATO decks are good. Skandinavian decks are hard to beat. US is pretty good...even with over-nerfed infantry.

[Cullen's Hound]

Good advice, he states he likes east bloc mot and mech so he should steer clear of the best Nato one because...

[makisekurisufcker]

I mostly use EC and as stated it is powerful, good German panzergrenadiers and heavy, cost effective German armored units supported by French aircraft, helicopters, recon and a couple other small gaps. However, my deck is pretty damn slow, they are heavy hitters, can take a beating but don't expect them to have a photo finish when it comes to a race.

I've been playing with a Blue Dragon deck, very fast units, pretty powerful for their point count, kind of feels like playing my Eastern Block Coalition deck because they are cheap, plentiful, though faster and with the Koreans I get heavy American tanks, they also have good optics for spotting and accurate shooting.

It seems it's a bit early for you to use mechanized or motorized decks yet. If you are just learning the game you'd better use non-specialized decks - they are simply more universlal and fit to almost any map while specialzied decks fit only some maps and demand you to use very special tactics.

Mechanized decks are always slow so you cannot get a fast mechanized deck anyway besides you sacrifce almost all helos. Motorized decks are fast and have helos but you cannot get any good armor in it.

Best bluefor mechanized deck now is scandinavian (the best infantry selection in the game with decent tank and support options)

Best bluefor motorized deck is eurocorp (becouse of best helos) or a mixed NATO deck (becouse you can pick best units from every nation and 50 points is not that bad while you create a specialized deck)

Frankly speaking knowing what decks are better than others won't help you much untill you learn this game really good. And to learn this game good you will need to go via hundreds of multplayer battles (you can start with 10x10, but reall skill is needed for 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4). This game very tricky it's hard to learn but very much fun to play as soon as you start to realize how things work here.

The closest in style for Eastern Bloc I can think of in Mech or Motor Specialization would be. . . Eurocorps.

Their Infantry are very good with those machine guns so urban combat is a good game, not only do you have so many Panzergrenadier Shock Troops which is somewhat comparable to the Mot. Schuten, the Fallschirmjagers fights really well.

Tanks wise, Leopard 2 is a heavily armored platform with pinpoint accuracy guns, AMX-32 and AMX-40 has a ton of AP making them capable of punching a hole above their weight.

There are also a lot of very good artillery options like Caesar, M270 and MARS

Anti-Air wise, Crotale can cover a huge area against Helis, Rolands are good armor AA cover escorts, Gepards are also decent SPAAGs, the only lacking is a 4000m+ anti-plane.

Heli, the Tigres and the Cassiope are amongst the best. they are fairly maneuverable and the Tigre has an AAM variant which allows you to deny enemy Helis.

Though really its gonna depend on your play style.

The Panzergrens are better than bloody Motor Schutzen, man, don't compare 'em to those line infantry peasants.
And both the AMX-32 and 40 have waay too little availability to make them more worthwhile than Leopard 2's.

Does this still apply now after the patch for mechanized decks?

Try Landjut man, I think they fun as hell to play, maybe ive been playing to long but US is boring. Also scandinavia is very well rounded, good infantry, good support, the tanks are meh but they can still do work
