Trying to be agile! 101st Airborne Gameplay WARNO 

I think this division is going to surprise a lot of people when we get to play with it. IMO helos are underrated because most players don't really use them properly, they try to use them to land squads directly into combat or trickle them one at a time straight into the enemy's frontline air defenses. And then they get too timid with them and drop squads behind their own front line, and think 'I could have just used a truck for this.' But players are going to have to learn to use helos right to play the 101st. With this division a group of Chinooks escorted by gunships/Little Birds/DAPs and ASFs could fly over the least defended stretch of the opponent's line and land multiple 13/14-man squads in their rear, including leaders to flip their back points, even AA and artillery, almost everything they have is airmobile. They can potentially threaten every zone on the map and cut off the opponent's reinforcement roads to forward zones, allowing you to push them too. A Chinook can eat one hit from any AA missile and those escort helos should be able to rocket down any stray manpads or SAMs you stumble over so they don't get a second shot. If you lead your squadron with a Quick Fix its ECM will likely cause a miss anyway if you run into AA. Also, the best use of squads like LRS and Delta is to sneak through enemy lines at the beginning of the game with their airborne deployment and then hide in a treeline and use their GSR to see everything the enemy is doing. They can locate high value targets and safe landing zones for air assaults, so you don't have to fly in blind. The 101st's Delta squad in particular has that 1250m range sniper rifle, they should be able to spot and take out manpads and unarmored AA like I-Hawks without being seen, to punch a hole your helos can fly through.

I think the 101 is too helicopter dependent to be really competitive, since AA is just... So unbelievably prevalent and easily takes out helicopters because their so fragile

hyped :D want to try them too 😅

The 101st doesnt seem that strong to me, seems like 2nd UK in it's reliance on a small number of special forces units but with the addition of some helis which are usually shut down pretty quickly by strellas and manpads when playing in games that aren't a 1v1 on a 2v2 map edit: also I dont think they have radar AA and their special forces don't carry manpads like 2nd UK or the new soviet div, I feel like they're just gonna tank an LGB every time they show their faces

any thoughts on Eugen adding a feature to loop commands? I would love to have my helicopters loiter around the backline and then pull one out of the carousel any time I need to respond to a tank/infantry threat. instead of having them in one big blob...

Next Highway 66 and Left Hook videos?

Seems like a pretty weak div tbh, at least in 1v1, given how expensive helos/helo transports are and how lethal AA is. Also would love to hear the rationale behind the pivads nerf lol

I am a bit surprised you said the division won't be at the top in terms of strength. From a purely looking at the division standpoint the similarities to 2nd UK and overall having most tools except for good ART, IFVs and strike aircraft I expected the 101st to be an immediate "top dog". Is it because you believe the helicopter focus is not that valuable right now?

You got to invest in sead if you are going heli/air heavy
