Hoi4 light tank division
for Canada however i am leaning towards the heavy tanks due to the Canadian manpower restrictions, time to begin construction, better synergy with advisers, and versatility in that the heavy tank division can be altered for combat in different terrainīut what do you guys think should i use the heavy tank division or the medium tank division. the Canadian tank research bonus is better geared to light tanks and mediums due to its -100% to ahead of time for light tanks and +50% for everything elseīoth divisions have substantial pros and cons. production on heavy tanks can begin 3 years before the medium tanks the medium tanks are slightly cheaper and require less production Canada's advisers are more geared towards heavy tanks + some kind of commando unit the medium dank divisions are suceptable to higher casualties to compared with the heavy tank division in my experience the heavy tank division is more effective at holding what it takes but suffers when trying to take land the medium tank division is more effective at attacking but is less effective at holdingwhat it takes its low defense means that even though i can take land with the high breakthrough and soft attack i will have difficulty holding what these divisions do take the lower Armour of the individual tanks will almost certainly result in higher attained casualties wich could be terrible for a country with as low a manpower as Canada. swapping the light tanks for light tank destroyers (wich i normally do) with improved guns could ensure a cheep and effective way for dealing with the more effective axis tanks and could theoretically mean that you would be damaging more of the enemy's valuable tank divisions while possibly both risking less, and losing less at the same time. generally sustains higher losses of Armour and manpower more technology, and army experience to build this division meaning that i am often forced to substitute them into a less effective 20 width variant at the wars opening. (see invasion of scicily and operation overlord) the high defence and marines in this division would make it a verry good at launching a naval invasion and creating a beach head. the speed of this division will be its destruction if it is managed improperly marines can be upgraded to boost the divisions org and the division will benefit more from advances in infantry weapons tech in comparison to the medium tank division. working with south Africa and other willing allies can ensure that better heavy tanks are made faster the other division can only make use of the tank expert adviser Canada's commando and tank experts will make this division even better.

I once held al-alemain and took 0 casualties against a full on Italian assault using this division adding 2 heavy SPGS dramatically increases the soft attack of the unit slow (about half as fast as medium division) and thus can be surrounded/overrun easily in comparison generally sustains low casualties tanks and manpower fewer technologies and army exp required the higher organization and defense means the tanks will be difficult to push back

the addition of marines makes naval invasions and river crossings easier and further research in marines can boost organization even higher. heavy tanks can be researched in 1936 compared to mediums in 1939 this means you can start production much sooner I will use this unit due to the fact that it does not infringe on any rules that i am currently aware of.Įngineers maintenance and recon, logistics, and medical companies If tanks and infantry together are allowed i will consider using thisĪs well as engineers, maintenance, recon, logistics, and medical company'sĢ heavy tanks for 2 heavy SPGS to drastically increase the soft attack of the division I will also not be using any bonuses from advisers or doctrines in the comparison between the two Im not including a pure light tank division because i find light tanks to only be good at going fast and being spammed. The tank divisions i build generally vary between 2 templates and are located below i play Canada alto in hoi4 and i was looking for some advice in strategies
