Zippo Flakbus
While I considered a radio because 4 more stats is 4 more stats, keeping this thing almost too dirt cheap was my primary directive and the flat 6 cost is probably the best this thing could ask for. It mostly is here to pad out an armored fire support group with cheap trash that can keep up with mobile infantry with pontoon support equipment manufacturer made inf weapons.
Saint-Chamond
Fun fact, first use of the M1897 field gun on a armored vehicle was in 1917, long before the US upgraded it to its 75mm's. Yes, it had a petrol electric engine that apparently worked, in 1917. (The tracks seem to have been the main sticking point.) It had a crew of 9.
The Advanced Stat Brick
Vaguely the most lethal light tank I could make with the MIO's available to Mexico. Why always these minor power MIOs? Usually I'm just testing the waters of what's possible with countries that don't have the most optimal designers. Someone with a good infantry tank designers going to crush the stats here like 30% over however. Its a hanger queen that takes advantage of the fact that most MIO's give a lot of extra reliability to make something that should fail. What's especially worthy of notice here is that you can push this to give around 44 soft attack from the right support company, it would be a 700 IC support company, but it would be quite a big brick of stats. _____________________ IT MAY BE OPTIMAL to go for a howitzer instead here if you are aiming to ALA, for one reason: You can juice the soft attack modifier to be 110%, but your hard attack modifiers always going to stay at 75%, so hard attack is more wasted here. (Unless you go for mobile defense, which is a really good option in some cases, as then you will get a lot of hard attack, and then get great soft attack buffs on mechanized infantry.) The only thing I'm uncertain of is if "Special forces attack" actually touches catagory_paratroopers without the extra paratroopers tag, in actual ALA situations it might have 5-10% more attack then my estimates, or 5% less. ________ Odds are, 85%, it doesn't, so the ALA versions going to be about 5% weaker than it appears on HOIDESIGNER as the 5% all special forces from the paratroopers doctrines looks like it should miss ALA. **It lacks "category_special_forces" which seems to be flagged as here**. The other sabotage party bonuses should apply as they target cat_paratroopers (Which ALA does have.)
Smoking Cobras (Extremist ALA)
280 IC to bump your division up to 31 armor. Ending my airborn armor research, if you have an infantry tank designer you can go up to 142.74 armor, a generic infantry tank designer can do this. This is viable on. Brazil. Oh fun fact if brazil takes their special forces focuses they can instantly research advanced light tanks if they cover improved light tanks have fun with your smoking cobras.
This is just wrong
Is this like too strong?
Realistic ALA
Aside from the level 3 radio, this is the ALA that appears in a lot of my builds, a moderately armored infantry tank with a advanced autocannon.
M3 lee early production
I'm back to present a historical reconstruction of the M3 Lee. At the beginning of production, its armor was riveted, but in later production it became cast. Historically, it was only a transitional tank for the USA. Indeed, at the start of the war, the only tanks available in significant numbers were the outdated Stuarts, and the Sherman wouldn't appear until 1942. In short, it was primarily the result of improvisation. It made a good impression during its first appearance in North Africa, where its 75mm gun riddled the German Panzer IIIs with holes, as they struggled to penetrate it head-on, forcing them to regularly rely on the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, artillery, and aircraft. But it was against the Panzer IVs and other heavier German tanks that it showed its limitations and was replaced by the famous Sherman.
A-3
Max breakthrough
Self prop aa
Self prop aa for pretty much from 1940 onwards to go with your tanks
Pretty basic tank (panzer4)
Just a normal improved medium tank, that also happens to be pretty much historical panzer4
Танк огнемётный для поддержки
Танк только для поддержки дивизии, не самостоятельный.
HO-RI production
Here's a reconstruction of the famous Japanese HO-RI heavy tank destroyer. Let me know what you think. I enjoy posting rough reconstructions of real tanks. I should also point out that the autoloader you see is just a representation of the mechanical system designed to speed up the processing of heavy shells from its 105mm gun. Indeed, a Japanese soldier of that era was rather short and stocky, and handling such shells was no easy feat. This resulted in an incredible gun, capable of a rate of fire of 4 seconds with its 2-round priority ammunition rack. Fortunately for the Americans, it was never mass-produced and, in any case, would never have reached the front lines at that time.
