Noobs in Combat Units

The Units Hub is your roster map for Noobs in Combat on Roblox. Command noob platoons across interwar-to-late-Cold-War inspired kit, unlock nodes with Research Points and Gold Nuggets, then spend Tix to deploy them on hex/tile battlefields. This overview mirrors the live V6.1 tech organisation after the Air-slot AA move and the newest evolutions.

Pair this page with the Tier List Hub for priorities and Guides for campaign usage.

How the tech tree works

• Categories typically include Infantry, Vehicles, Towed / artillery, Naval, and Aircraft / Air (AA trees now live in Air slots).
• Units evolve along lines (for example Riflemen → Rangers → Marksmen).
• Perks such as Capture, Radio, Scouting, Ambush, and engineering tools define roles more than raw HP.
• Skins (Guest, national sets, Australia for 200 Gems) change appearance, not core stats.

Raise loadout slots and starting Tix on your Profile as you earn Points — more slots mean more specialised packages without abandoning supply.

Infantry lines

Capture and radio cores

• Troopers → Shock Troops → Grunts — Workhorse line. V6.1 adjusted Trooper price/HP; Grunts remain premier capture + radio infantry for directing artillery.
• Riflemen → Rangers → Marksmen — Longer-range specialists. Marksmen combine ranger reach with radio and gained Scouting in V6.1 (watch follow-up hotfixes). Poor meatshields at their Tix cost — deploy as eyes and fire support.

Gunners, AT, and specialists

• Medium Gunner → Light Gunner — Anti-infantry anchors; moving fire keeps pressure on rushes.
• AT Rifle → Bazooka → RPG / Super Bazooka style upgrades — Budget armor deletion and Ambush plays before TDs finish researching.
• Sniper → Sniper Team — Precision picks; positioning dependent.
• Flamethrower → Flame Launcher — Terrain, bunkers, and clustered infantry.
• Sapper → Combat Engineer — Repairs, mines (including place-under-unit QoL), and V6.1 XP from engineering actions. Research XP cost reduced 20% alongside cargo transport.

Vehicles

Logistics and transport

• Supply Wagon → Supply Truck → Supply Carrier — Non-negotiable on long maps.
• Transport Truck → Light Carrier → Halftrack → APC → IFV — Tempo engines. IFV HP buffed in V6.1; cargo transport can haul certain towed pieces after mid-V6 patches.

Armor and recon

• Scout/Armored/Recon cars and Tankette → Scout/Light/Recon tanks — Vision and map control.
• Medium Tank → Medium Tank+ → Heavy Tank → Battle Tank — Frontline hammers. Battle Tank defines many mid/late loadouts on open ground.
• Flame Tank, Multi L/M/H tanks — Niche fire patterns and extra MGs.
• Tank hunter → Tank Destroyer → Missile Tank — New in V6.1: Tank hunter as TD pre-evo. Bring when you need AT without full BT cost.
• Anti-Air Halftrack → Anti-Air Tank → SPAAG — Mobile AA; coordinate with the Air-slot SAM path.

Towed guns and artillery

• Mortar Team → Mortar Halftrack → Heavy Mortar
• Field Gun → Mobile Field Gun → Howitzer → Mobile Howitzer
• Gun Carrier → Assault Gun → Bunker Buster → Battle Tank CS — Close support; V6.1 restored sensible blind-fire rules for radio-capable indirect guns within direct range.
• Rocket Battery → Rocket Truck
• Anti-Tank Gun → Heavy AT Gun → Recoilless Rifle — Heavy AT Gun is a V6.1 headline evolution for dug-in AT.
• Anti-Air Gun → Anti-Air Cannon → SAM battery — SAM battery arrives in V6.1 as the AA cannon evo; essential once air packages dominate Expert tabs.

Air and naval (short map)

Helicopters (armed, utility, and related) gained V6 reworks and model passes; landing-gear animation is a V6.1 QoL touch. Naval covers landing craft, torpedo/missile boats, subs, destroyers, cruisers, and carriers on Pacific-style maps. Always check map rules for radio-less naval accuracy penalties.

V6.1 also grants +2 air slots — rebuild air/AA loadouts instead of copying V5 screenshots.

V6.1 roster checklist

Addition / change	Role
Tank hunter	TD pre-evolution, affordable AT
Heavy AT Gun	Evolved towed AT
SAM battery	Evolved AA / air denial
AA trees → Air slots	Loadout UI reorganisation
Australia skin (200 Gems)	Cosmetic
Combat Engineer / cargo XP −20%	Faster specialist progression
Lorry rework	Transport flavour / anims

Building a first serious loadout

Inside a ~600 starting Tix endgame budget (grow into it):

1. One armor centerpiece (BT or Tank hunter path)
2. One IFV/APC with Grunts or Light Gunner
3. One AT infantry until TD line is comfortable
4. Supply Truck
5. Flex: mortar/howitzer or SAM/SPAAG depending on the campaign tab

Perks cheat sheet

• Radio — Enables accurate indirect fire in radius; stack coverage, do not assume infinite range.
• Capture — Seizes depots, neutrals, and buildings — win conditions often require it.
• Scouting — Extra vision when still / conditions met (Marksmen V6.1).
• Ambush — Punishes movers who enter threat range.
• Engineering — Mines and repairs swing defense maps.

Master units by role, not by hype names. The commander who understands supply and radio usually beats the one who only maxed a single Battle Tank skin.
