The bonus is not alwaysworth it depending on what you want. Breakthrough is great but if you make a tank with very little of it the bonus isnt worth. Radio is generally great but its not 100% of the time useful

@stevepirie8130 7 ай бұрын

Heavy Tank AA was popular in the tank template to have Air attack plus increase armour of the template more. You could use older heavy tank designs for it and refurb your old heavy tanks to it as you went along or at least I did.

Mainly commenting for to bump your vid in the algo. It's a nice video and I enjoyed it, I will say though that you should always tailor your tanks to the speed of their meat shields, i'e 4kph for tank + inf, 8 kph for tank + mech, 12 kph for motorized and Tank, that way you don't have any lost production or over-engineering. Big love, keep up the posting

I understand that most people who aren't tactically challenged like me are looking for guides on how to build the best tanks. I on the other hand have the problem that I am just unable to push even with the most optimized tank design and divisions. Like what do you use tanks for, how do you use them, where do you use them and how do you micro them? There are 1000 tutorials on tank and division design but I couldn't find anything on how to actually use tanks.

@kaylenjoyer 9 ай бұрын

@@dutchrjen Thanks a lot! This is exactly what I was looking for! I still have some follow up questions, I hope it’s not too much of a hassle :D First, for 2) how do you know how much breakthrough will be optimal then? Do you have a feeling for the attack values AI divisions use in a certain year? Do you have a certain number that you always try to reach? Also if you are taking out the USSR as Finland in 41 that means it’s still early/midgame. Do you think that tank design philosophy changes a bit in lategame with all the extra tech and modifiers from military industry? For 3) you say that HA is an overlooked stat while also saying that it is not as important. Did you mean hardness? Or should tank divisions have HA as well even though you go for howitzers on your at tanks? For division design, do you not value recon/rangers and radio? I feel like there is so much conflicting information on support for tank divisions online. For example Hammurabae is saying that radio is incredibly important for tank divisions and as far as I understand it, recon helps with any offensive division. Is it just about not being able to research all support divisions equally? For terrain, the only one you didn‘t mention were hills and they are quite common. Do you get your mountaineers for those or just muscle through them with your tanks? Also, am I understanding it correctly that an attacking army group for you has tank, marine and mountaineer armies, they are all close to each other and you bust out the marines everytime there is a river crossing and your mountaineers for every mountain etc? And once you cross a river you use your regular tanks again since they are faster? And what about very mountainous regions like Slovakia or the Caucasus? Then division numbers: you said you have very few tank divisions but what about the armored marine, armored mountaineer and those spec ops divisions without tanks? And when you push with your tanks do each of those 2-4 divisions attack their own tiles? Do they all attack the same one from multiple directions? Do you ever have 2 tank divisions on the same tile? Do you attack in multiple areas at once to set up a big encirclement? For pushing, whenever I managed to break through the lines I often went overboard and tried to get a screenshottable encirclement, getting my tanks encircled due to being out of position in the process. Do you just push from supply hub to supply hub and the encirclements come naturally from doing that? Do you intentionally move along railways so that the newly conquered hubs are actually connected? Same as most new players I have massive supply issues all the time. Lastly, when playing a country with less research slots, what do you prioritize? For example I like playing France but it takes forever until you get even just a 4th research slot. It feels impossible to stay up to date with infantry, armor and airforce research at the same time. In those situations what do you prioritize/sacrifice? Can any of these weaknesses be covered up? Like putting more AA in your divisions if you lack airplane tech for example. Thanks again for taking the time to write all this down! I know it must all be pretty obvious for an experienced players but I had real trouble and understanding how to wage war. I was starting to get pretty frustrated with the game tbh and you have really shed some light. So far I basically always fought WW1 style with very slow pushes and huge casualties. Thank you so much!

@@fredfinks that is tragic. He wrote the most well thought out multiple paragraph responses. The things I have implemented into my game since that I remember: soft attack is by far the most important stat for tanks, followed by breakthrough. You don’t really need any hard attack vs AI. I use 34 width tank divisions, 8 mechanized infantry and 8 medium tanks. Late game your tanks should be able to go as fast as your mechanized infantry. Supply hubs are the most important objectives in war. Don’t build them, they take forever. Push with your tanks along railways from supply hub to supply hub. Retreat from the frontline when they run out of fuel or supply. If you railway them back to the front they don’t lose anything and with staff planning they only take a couple of days to get the planning bonus. Depending on terrain you might still want to use marines or mountaineers. 2 of those 34 width divisions are enough to win most wars, 4 if you play a major nation.

Then maybe i will present a advanced medium tank, that is quite good, very cheap and very reliable. Combine 3-man medium turret. Improved Medium Canoon, Radio 3, 3x Extra Ammunition Storage, Boogie Suspension, Riveted Armor, Diesel Engine, Engine upgrade 0, Armor upgrade 4. Such tank is extremally cheap, because i used only 4 armor upgrades and free modules. It costs only 11.5 IC, 4 steel, 1 tungsten and 1 chrome mostly due to expensive cannon. Radio combined with Extra Amunition Storages quickly scale both breaktrough and defense to the high values, so your tanks will be as good in offesnive as in defensive even with cheaper types of infantry like MOT, CAV, INF or even Bicicles. If you will meet reliability issues, then replace Extra Emmunition Storages into Easy Maintenance or Wet ammunition Storage. Torsion Bars are also acceptable. That tank will be very slow. Even slower than cavalry, but it doesn't matter if you can spam such cheap thanks, that can hold whole line with high defense. If you still need some speed, then use christie suspension or even use gas engine at cost of some Extra Ammunition Storages, but try do not boost speed with Engine Upgrades, because it soak plenty of fuel and slow your army during shortages. Mostly, because you will be able to build probably 2x more tanks than normally, so even with basic 2.0 consumption your fuel shortages will be higher (remember about logistic companies and refine oil technologies). Welded Armor is acceptable, if your economy can handle it, or you have adventage in amount of tanks (and you will get that adventage soon or later) to lower casualities a bit. I suggest to use such design, if you need reasonable, but cheap Improved Medium Cannon cariers and speed doesn't matter, because you want to push enemy slowly or defend and counterattack. Countries with weaker economy will be able to create reasonable armoured forces. That tanks carry the same cannon like other mediums, but they are overall weaker against more expensive tanks. If enemy has better tanks, then play defensive and get adventage of that high defense to get fair chances and produce more tanks. Dozer Blades may be then overpowered in defense. When you will get like 2:1 adventage in abount of tanks start to move forward, because you have double firepower and you can flank enemies. Later you can use similar desing with medium turret and medium cannon to create ultimate cheap modern tank. 13 IC with ~80 armor, ~70 Breaktrough and ~20defense. It is like unstoppeable wave on singleplayer and multiplayer :D Slow design i.imgur.com/ke6ynho.png Fast design (less reliable) i.imgur.com/2750xbj.png

Use calculator around 500inc different. and is work like this 1937 light aa is batter then (star pre war medium) then you select only heavy or medium if you need speed 10km is medium if 6-8km havy. Combat width is not so impotent close to non. In single player. Real issue is supply. Also we speak abut unit what can cost around 3000-14 000 inc. 8-14 inf division! 36 aa havy for armor = 720INC (20inc max arm) 40 heavy tank or destroyer for armor = 1200INC (30inc max arm)
