Everyone Says It's OP, But Does It Work!?

[@yesdont9728]

I use light tank recon for basically just carry oil for my division. So i got light tank with just no armor and as cheap as possible with all slots filled with the oil gallon or smth i forgot the name. Works great to make your division literally almost never run out of oil in soviet and africa

[@melfice999]

So you're literally making Tank Trucks huh.

[@yesdont9728]

@@melfice999 as silly as it sounds, it works great especially with oil hungry high speed tank and flame tank

[@VoltismProductions]

I didn't realize it could carry extra oil for the rest of the division instead of just more for itself

[@Vaelosh466]

@@VoltismProductions I think it all just goes into the division's fuel capacity, I like doing this with flamers as well. Although I put fuel on my front line tanks too.

[@johngalt5166]

I’m really dense, can you explain how a division runs out of fuel even if it is connected to its supply lines? Like I understand the concept but how does the game calculate that

[@scp2539]

"look at that cost" ah yes, the cost hidden behind the camera XD

[@queproman1649]

10:00 the tank is going to break after being produced

[@choleraphd7702]

The moment the final pieces are welded onto the tank it just spontaneous combusts

[@Swagmaster07]

If your tank has JUICY breaktrough stats, and theres not much to add, you can add a radio. (Radio 1 is the most cost effective but if you want the MAX out of it use the 3rd one)

[@Zack_Wester]

feels like radio should add ether some org or a org recovery add some value to the coordination stat. because it just giving a % in breakthrough and what more it is is sort of underselling how important a radio is in WW2. heck I would love to see if Radio made artillery and air support better. Tank 103 of div 11 To CAS group 110 I got some targets for you at grid 105.100 North of that Barn 2 medium tanks and a command post can you slap it for me over.

[@jeremielarin1979]

19:20 the radio 3 give +45% breakthrough. If we round it up to 50% for simplicity, this radio does one third of the breakthrough. 70/3 is ~23. For 2.5 production cost it add 23 breakthrough.

[@PhilipposACosta]

The speedy division is really good. I would make a similar one half the size. As soon as there is a gap in the front line, you get that division and fly over the enemy territory capturing all VPs and avoiding combat. Then plug some basic infantry along the path created.

[@zaph8015]

Since NSB signal companies also improve coordination, and by quite a significant amount. Coordination and reinforce rate go hand in hand so having the signals is great - think about the eastern front when playing the Soviets. The AI Germany will org wall pretty much every tile with 6-10 divisions which in 95% of cases infantry just won't be able to break (at least not without taking huge losses). Instead you go for a few fat as hell tank divisions with tons of breakthrough and signals. Due to the signals the tanks will deal much more of their damage to the top division in the stack, and due to the way damage calculation works you are much more likely to get the 4x crit damage on it. So that division deorgs super fast, retreats and you start hitting the next one. You just keep up the damage until you flick all of their divisions off the top of the stack and they can't reinforce fast enough. It's like taking the reinforce meme and using it to its fullest, stinkiest potential.

[@martinp1054]

That super heavy is for a super-space-marine thing i bet..... so its only one batalion in the whole template..... thats why it need 276.2 armour (because division armour is 60% of highest +40% of average / number of batalions) i think

[@Makem12]

We all know that 75 combat width is the best. Artillery only for the memes!

[@patricksimpson1157]

I like the armor recon company for the straight 10% movement modifier. Maybe it's OCD, the more green I see in those terrain adjustment bubbles the happier I am.

[@martinp1054]

yeah, if you are not going into a dessert i think its the best

[@red_seven_]

Just click the + button next to engine two more times and get the same speed (in all terrain) a lot cheaper. LT recon only serves as a (mediocore) stat pusher for infantry or fuel carrier for tanks currently.

[@-John-Doe-]

Some of these divisions are very costly in Army XP. 120 army XP in a 1936 division seems a bit much.

[@TheVoodooMaker]

Yes indeed. Army XP is scarce nowadays.

[@thepatrickcrab]

12:55 they have at least first armor tech so do have access to welded

[@Zerum69]

People spend so much time maxing out all the little combat stats but forget about reliability, anything below 80% reliability is gonna severely strain your economy your tanks will just melt as soon as they move one tile away from a supply hub Generally i like staying at 90% to 95% reliability but if possible reaching 100% is worth it

[@jansatamme6521]

for tanks, reliability doesnt matter, above 50% is fine, for light tank recon anything above like crazy low like 20 is fine

[@JuiceBoxHero98]

Playing as any Major with good industrial capabilities, I use 14 infantry, 4 artillery, 2 AA and a Heavy tank built for soft attack and armor. AA, Arty, Radio, Engineer and Logistics. Virtually unbeatable

[@matthewcarroll2533]

AA has been OP since the game came out and I'm surprised it still hasn't had its piercing toned down because as it stands you basically don't need AT in SP at all... AA does that job AND provides protection from air. Not even mentioning AA production costs are bottom of the barrel so you can churn out thousands with just like two factories on them. It's wild and I've been abusing it since day one, lol. (Also note: after the armor/piercing changes AA is even better since even if you don't have enough piercing to 100% pierce, you're still getting a damage increase...)

[@DirkusTurkess]

Big fan of thicc bois and heavy flamers. In the game.

[@atomicLord97]

I've been having divisions recently that have a full regiment of tanks (Medium tanks geared to be infantry support tanks, 4kph, cast armor, 10+ points into armor, side skirts, sloped armor, support gun) and then adding infantry till I hit around at least 40 width. so far its been really effective much to my surprise. I didn't think Infantry support tanks would do much of anything. I am tempted to retry this template with light tanks just to see if it is just as effective cause light tanks would be less expensive and possibly open up the opportunity to use this as a minor power.

[@khnelli4918]

yeah, you made Space Marines

[@atomicLord97]

I'm pretty sure space marine's is adding on one battalion of tanks to give your infantry insane armor, I have 5 battalions of tanks and 15 battalions of infantry. I was going off of the British infantry support tank concept from WWII.

[@khnelli4918]

@@atomicLord97 yeah, that's space marines

[@atomicLord97]

it seems kinda stupid to call ANY infantry/tank mix space marines IMO. I have only ever seen a 7-2 with a single heavy tank battalion with maxed out armor called space marines.

[@lolloblue9646]

I wish they rebalanced secondary turrets to be inefficient (except on guns that don't have a main turret in the in-game design like the Char B1 or the M11/39). They were a development dead end

[@Gingerking_45]

is it possible to make a heavy tank design that is basically a bunker like minimum speed needed but has enough armor and hard, piercing, and soft attack that you can sit on a VP like instead of building a fort if you cant really afford to put industry towards building forts. like this idea is say for a small country that can really only do infantry and very small amount of tanks

[@spitfireflyer2205]

btw interleaved roadwheels don't reduce reliability anymore

Instead of light tank recon use armored cars, cheaper and more effective

[@otaviobicalho8459]

-armor -breakthtouth -possible fuel for the division +Research time

[@otaviobicalho8459]

I think that you can make tanks cheaper by design

[@lukeb1663]

You can also adjust the light tanks to suit your purpose more easily. If you need some hard attack and piercing, put a high velocity cannon on it. If you need basically an extra support artillery, put a close support gun on it. Until pdx adds a designer for armored cars and mechanized (something that basically already exists with the different suspension types for light tanks), I often prefer the variability of light recon unless I just want the reconnaissance stat.

[@leiaorgana5098]

medium flame tank better tho

[@DatCoMm101]

Ignoring the terrible reliability of the super heavy tanks shown. I am a big fan of making 1 super heavy with AS MUCH armor as possible. Just adding that single super heavy to a template means the average amour shoots up and the divisions become unpierceable (plus you don't really have to make that many of them, the super heavy battalion is the smallest).

Doesn't defense also affect your attack bonus? If I remember correctly you did a video where you demonstrate that defense bonus on generals affect the attack capability. In that case, more defense on a tank should help and therefore radio is kind of okay??
