Not a faction I have played much but I immediately noticed how effective the AUG was for CQB and hipfire. Since I play mostly infantry this makes them stick out in my mind.
I have witnessed couple games, where ADF did have 4 ASLAVs, and still lost. Yes, they are really nimble and mobile, but lack of any hardier and punchier IFV is a minus. Played them with MEA on BMP 1-2s and a single T72. When their Abrams was destroyed, we manged to form a gunline at actual point instead of attacking, and T72 essentialy had a free reign, farming lots of kills (it did matter, since we win by 3 or 8 tickets)
Should’ve mentioned the Smoke rounds for the HAT, incredibly powerful for point assault. Single smoke round renders an enemy FP totally inoperable for the best part of a minute, letting all the assault infantry push to cqc
I feel they're the best Infantry option in BLUFOR. Dependable weapons, variable 1-4x zoom on all optic roles (Which is simply incredible) and overall decent infantry kits across the board
Hmmmmm, I really don't have much to say about the ADF. Like, it really doesn't stand out in my head. Besides that fact that their Mechanized units has no tracked APCs or IFVs whatsoever. IRL the ADF has M113s that it uses which are soon to be replaced by South Korean K21 IFVs. So, there's something there for that. But besides OWI deciding to run against their own unit definitions, I kinda feel the ADF is okay. If your team votes ADF you'll probably do okay.

Yeah that's a big one! I annotated it in my pinned comment
wtf I didn't know the AUG grip can do that and I have 800 hours in game...
Australia military faction makes me want Vietnam war DLC for Squad.

squads aiming kinda sucks so aug hip fire is nice during cqb
Honestly I feel like having no tracked IFV is a pro. I like driving ifv but hate driving tracked vics
You missed one of the cons for ADF mechanised inf, it lacks anti tank capabilities due to the inability to set up atgm emplacement
It is able to. All of the ADF units can place ATGMs on RAAS or when they are attacking on Invasion.
It’s not an aug buddy
IT'S NOT CALLED AN "AUG" 🤦♂
You Americans really need a better education system...
