I do not know RA but one very good thing (among many) about LWAMI is that it is shipped with a very comprehensive manual.
So you can easly answer your own question: just download LWAMI and read the pdf manual, and compare that information with your own experience of RA

There realistically isn't any way to say which is best - It's a game, so what makes it good is the experience of playing it, which will be different for each of us. RA has a lot of platforms that aren't in LWAMI, so if variety is your thing then that might be an issue. Remaining undetected in LWAMI is certainly challenging [for me at least]. Really it all depends on how you play and what floats your boat.

Easy answer to the "Which one is best?" conundrum - multi-install and have both.

By better I mean more realistic. More detailed. And more challenging.

I can see that RA has more platforms and weapons and that qualifies it as an expansion as far as I'm concerned.

LwAmi 311 is about a third larger in unpacked file size I noticed. I guess I will just keep picking RA apart and find out.

The additional platforms alone opens up new horizons and there are new things like biologics and bouys etc. Nucs and such are fun too. And.... THE RED OCTOBER with hydrodynamic drive. It IS silent drive. I've driven it in circles around the seawolf. But it is 'deaf as a post'.

So far it is a lot of fun.

I´ve just finished the Liu Doctrine campaign which was specifically made for LWAMI and strongly recommend it.

Great Missions, no bugs noticed, and it comes with very good and authentic story/writing.

For me probably the best user-made DW campaign besides Red Storm Rising.

Liu Doctrine campaign is really good. Everything works, no bugs (that I've noticed), absolutely thrilling.

We really need more Lwami campaigns!
