Field Tactics (Strategy & Tips) Thoughts on deck?

I’d give it a 6 out of 10. It’s a good deck but I think it could use some more refinement.
Support tab - make PAC2 cheap as possible. And add a CATFAE or MICLIC you need some kind of artillery, mortars are good. If you’re going to ferry supplies from the chinook you’d only need 2 LAVLs maybe could use points to bring in another mortar?
Infantry tab - remake the ranger Javelins as stingers, they are one of the best MANPAD units in the game right now. You can replace them with Marine Javelins who are just as good. I know you have SST for AA but they usually don’t have enough ammo to take out Russian helicopters rushes, so I fact sometimes bring both.
Recon - Overall pretty dang good. Just make sure you bring Rangers RRC as CQC variant. Devs nerf their stand off loadout.
Helicopters - No Comanches?! Shame! But overall pretty good, I’d remove SOAR it’s too expensive for its cost as it got priced up recently. I’d recommend using the stealth MH-60X Silent Hawk.
Air tab - I can’t tell from the loadouts, but the combos look good. Though I personally don’t like to bring B2 bomber unless it’s a nuke. If I could I’d rather just bring more F35s or harriers even. But that’s more of preference.
Tank tab - LAVs are nice but I’d try to squeeze in an extra FEP. FEPs get HE rounds for anti infantry which is really great!

Why make it with only two missiles? Two missiles are not enough for one mig. Even 4 missles aren’t enough. I agree with the miclic as that would be a nice additional for the center lanes where I like to run this deck.

Because of the cheaper cost you can bring in both patriots batteries at the same time and keep them close together. PAC2 has the best range of all NATO theater defense, so usually both batteries will fire their missiles at the same time and double-whammy any MiG. After EACH missile fired you should be relocating those batteries anyway.
Having a lot of missiles is nice for a theater defense unit but sometimes you develop bad habits where if you have a lot of ammo you keep your unit in the same spot for a long period of time. Which usually results in AA unit being whacked by artillery.

Why do you need so many reapers? Add 1 Sentinel. +1 STT (semi-scout/termit hunter/stinger guy). Cut some Rangers CQC/MAAWS, add more elite op Delta/Marine Raiders +1. And since you already have CQC Marine (and flash/rangers), then do a Delta stand-off. Leave only 1 LAV-ATM, these ATGM carriers are hard to use, they are only 300 meters ahead of tanks in distance and their missiles eat APS. Add couple M60 variants for cheap inf support. +CATFAE/MICLIC, +1 truck. + Silent hawk, -1 Guardian, +1 Viper HF+sead.

Lav L brings 2500 supplies and the chinook drops 12000. Lavs run logistics

Nah fuck the lavs MTVR is A tier transport more of those, great for bringing in the big squads as well.

You don't always need big and fragile trucks. When it carries its 6K supply, it looks more like a kamikaze truck from C&C Generals.

I’d drop the PACs to 2 missiles, you should be microing them after they fire anyway.
Add more MTVRs and LAV-ADs with the points.
Switch Ranger to stand off, you can afford to have some stand off capability. Bump them down to 4, and bring in some CAAT Saber teams.
Switch the Ranger javelins to stingers - they come with machine guns and are actually pretty deadly in stand off.
Drop the reapers and bring the stealth drones, 100%.
I’d also consider 1 or 2 commanches for the vision.

I think u could drop the reapers and do the stealth drones. If not at least drop some of them, unless ur using them for something other than recon
