Top U.S. units by role in Broken Arrow

Before we dive in, it’s worth noting that both the U.S. and Russian factions are fairly balanced overall, so success mostly depends on your playstyle and strategy. The game harbors six key categories of units: Recon, Infantry, Vehicles, Support, Helicopters, and Aircraft.

Here are the best picks in each category:

Recon

• MQ-1C Gray Eagle: This drone is perfect for building strategies around an airstrike. The Gray Eagle has great armor penetration, but it's relatively slower than the other drones.

Vehicle

• M1A1 HC Tank: This is one of the best vehicles in the game, with great value for the cost. It's tough, hits hard, and doesn’t drain your deployment points quickly. There are stronger tanks, but they also cost significantly more.

Support

• M109A6 Paladin: A solid artillery unit with good range and even an option to use laser-guided rounds. It also has a machine gun for self-defense.
• M270A2 MLRS: This is the most expensive unit in the Support category, and quite understandably so. It has really high precision and great mobility.

Infantry

• Marines: These troops have great survivability and could handle every situation, except the Black Berets, and that too can be taken care of with the Marine Raiders instead.
• Delta Force: These troops are your go-to for storming buildings. They're loaded with flashbangs, shotguns, and even grenade launchers, making them perfect for clearing and holding spaces.

Helicopter

• CH-47 Chinook: The Chinook is the best helicopter for moving large squads. It's large and can carry significantly more troops than others. However, you will lose everything on board if it gets shot down.

Aircraft

• B-2 Spirit: This aircraft is quite expensive and slow, but if you manage to get it to the target, it can wipe out the entire enemy force in that area, as it drops a literal nuke on them.
• F-15: This might be a hot take to pick F-15 over the F-22 Raptor; however, F-15 is a great choice for many reasons. It is highly versatile and great for strategic bombing.
