Imagine a situation where two countries are at war with each other and they only have rifles, not ever an artillery. What I would do then is to copy my infantry template and add the tank to the copy + then convert only a few of my most experienced infantry divisions to the new template so that they can get the full benefit of the tanks.

Tank divisions will be worse you add more battalions before having equipment to fill it since you ruin their speed, hardness and armor/piercing values.įor example if my Infantry would get 50 armor from adding a tank battalion at full strength then I see no real point in adding it if I only got 100 out of 2000 needed tanks since as a result my infantry get on average just 2.5 armor which can be pierced by pretty much all enemy divisions. I would probably still wait until I have at least 25-50% of the needed tanks though, so that I can see a bigger difference and be sure that it's worth it.Įdit: I thought you still were talking about infantry, the above is not valid for tanks. They won't be much worse, and as soon as they get some equipment they will start to get partial benefiting from the tank stats.
