You lack a real superheavy, so your Twardys will suffer against real superheavies at long range. There are very poor infantry AT capabilities, requiring close cooperation between tanks and infantry, doubly important since the tanks also provide your fire support role. You lack heavily for good artillery and bombers. East Germany gets 10 point BMP-1s, Czechoslovakia the Vydra II: Poland only gets the mid range BMPs and the 15 point BMP-1, all uninspiringas well as some extremely mediocre Topas transports, other than its motorized elements. You have to place massive importance on your line infantry, which are good in acceptable transports, because you lack massively for any good tracked transports and IFVs for fire support. The disadvantage is that man of your units are not that effective for a grinding fight. Mi-17s and Sokols, as well as the Salamander, can deal with any surviving unis, and fast-moving motorized units secure forward zones. For example, a Salamander posted forward can spot enemy units for Mig-21MFs to hit light enemy ground units such as AA with rockets, Seria ATGM planes to kill enemy heavy armor, SEAD to suppress enemy radar AA, and with great fighter options to cover it. This makes for a Polish airborne opener to be quite effective, since it can rely upon combined arms helicopter and air attacks. It has every role filled in in the air tab, with the exception of its poor bombers, and just as importantly has a very good helicopter tab, with anti-air helicopters, anti-tank recon helicopters, Mi-35s as general purpose helicopters, and above all else the Mi-17 helicopter, which comes with cheap infantry options like Spadochroniarze or SPG-9Ds. The area where Poland has the greatest strength is its air force and helicopter assets, where it has a reasonably complete and effective combination. So playing as Poland requires being able to use its strengths to a maximum while avoiding the weaknesses inherent. There is no mortar, advanced fire control artillery, nor long range anti-helicopter AA. Polish infantry has some brilliant anti-infantry options, but it lacks direly for heavy AT weapons The air tab is well rounded with excellent fighters, ATGM, rocket planes, and SEAD, but has a pronounced lack of a good bomber. Poland has a strong armored tree with strong medium and heavy tanks, but it lacks a real superheavy. Poland’s units however, are complicated by key lacks in key zones.
