    • Heavy Tanks over Tank Destroyers?

      Which is more preferable between the two?

      Heavy Tanks - Consistent stat values, can be used for offense and has good armor. Expensive to make and slow.

      Tank Destroyers - Good defensive stats against tank, not ideal for attack and has light armor. Cheaper to make and faster but vulnerable to infantry units.

      I am making an overhaul to my doctrine because

      1. I use too much units in my stacks and it is far wasteful to both resources and time to make.

      2. I want to simplify my build.

      What do you think guys?

    • Neither. Medium tanks can do the job relatively well compared to the two units mentioned above. However, in a stationary/slow war, I'd suggest heavy tanks.

      I see... thanks. I usually make two type of armies. The attack (Medium/LT + Motor Infantry) and the support (SP Artillery + SPAA + Tank Destroyers + Mech infnatry). The lead will be the attack and behind will be the support.

    • I personally perfer Tank Destroyers if I'm using my stack purely for holding occupied zones at risk of attack, and heavy tanks as damage soakers for my vanguard or supporting assault columns.
