I agree, i wasn't happy, when i found those in the box. The turret parts fitted well enough, but i couldnt get rid of the warpin of the hull ERA bit, tried heating and rebending but nothing worked. It's not super noticeable, but you can notice a slight bend. After the T-64 & T-72 i was really hoping for a second plastic sprue, maybe with the extra bits for the Israeli variants, since those are the next army on the horizon. On the other hand, 5 M60 with era are enough for my Marines, so i can repurpose the rest i own to make donate to my Austiran Army.
Yeah, my hull pieces were much the same. Not really noticeable unless you look for it. I hold out a slim hope that there will be a hard plastic upgrade when the IDF book rolls around, albeit configures for BLAZER rather than the US pattern, but suspect thus may be it.
@@breakthroughassault4791 I just think BF should make the twin engine. Seen a bunch of people finding other models for it. It would fit both team Yankee and ‘NAM
I ordered both the USMC & Soviet box, while i only want the BMPs and Infantry, the discount is enough to pick them over individual boxes. For a while i considered pushing back the BMPs, but the bonus sprue was enough to buy them now and build them later. Iirc i mentioned this before, but even i got one, the Soviet box is a slight miss, mostly due to the tanks and the aircraft. To be honest, i am no fan of aircraft and helicopters in the boxes. Of course i know they are an important part of the game, but i think most boxes would be better without them, either making them cheaper or adding a few other models. But now to the USMC rifle company, overall i like this. When i read the instructions and read the bit about leaving the UH-1s in reserve i had to chuckle, since that was something you predicted in the Tier List video (with my hate for [BF] resin, i ended up printing my own AAVPs). Yes, the AH-1s are not quite correct, but unless there is something else, they will have to suffice. Much like gust0o mentioned, the use of Thermoplastic bits for the M60 is... well... a slight letdown. I grabbed another box of Humvees and printed some Harriers and the Army is complete...
My buddy with a printer has found a AH-1W model so that takes care of that. Mike and I often struggle with the aircraft in an army box. I generally favour NATO attack helicopters as a pair is still viable. But strike aircraft and Hinds often feel somewhat redundant.
Urgh, no plastic ERA upgrade - that's a real shame ftom Battlefield. Great video

I think I’ll still get the box, but play in the 1980s timeframe. Even with the incorrect version of the cobra the rest of the is bang for the buck.
Absolutely. Not like the Cobras can't find a use elsewhere.

That new M60 card has the ERA keyword and two different armor profiles. Forces of War does not have the updated profile and points.
No, hopefully it will be updated soon.
Where can i find the m60 era point cost?
Only place is on the unit card so far. Forces hasn't been updated yet.
Those silly plastic turrets are crap.
They don't compare well to the hard plastic Russian ERA. Thankfully stowage hides a multitude of sins...
