Anti-Air Cruiser
Let the enemy planes burn!
Midgame Medium
Basic Midgame Medium build that i like to use against AI. Usually i also pack some TDs in my midgame tank builds so soft attack is priority
The Despicable Slug
When all you have is one iron, you can build this despicable disgusting thing. This is why turret stacking is being nerfed to the ground. Once you level your AA guns, this slug can shed its penetration for even more soft attack. This ones more a mechanical justification for developer actions, because, well. We live in a world where stamped rifles take 2x the iron of a milled bolt action rifle, but a heavy tank with 35 soft attack can cost 1 iron. I'd really love a world where the developers quarantined extra turrets to interwar hulls, but we got proper coaxial weapons with stricter caps for the during-the-war tanks: More flavor options, but the limits needed for a worthy balance. Limit good guns (anything with a 2 or a heavy in the name,) to actual current day to make the trade between turret spam memery and a practical modern tank solution feel like it has meaning. (The SMK is the only vehicle I can think of that really defies this trend... Its a worthy sacrifice.)
Good breakthrough to cost
So i made a light tank, that has high breakthrough compared to its cost. (1940 tech)
I hate tanks ahhh TD (371 Piercing)
371 Piercing on full tech
Armored car
So tell me what makes this a tank and not an armored car. (If you want to use this, its decent garison tank, tho then remove engine ticks)
1 iron IFV
You could make a shovel in minecraft instead. Just a test of how much stats I can throw on a little brick that costs one steel only. Cost more than the light tank version but medium tanks are 50 to a unit instead of 60, so the overall cost for these is actually lower if you don't use the army spirit subsidized contracts. Comes a few years earlier in tech than the phrankenphreak too, since medium tanks are '39. You can save one IC with the autocannon, and another going christie instead of interleaved, but I went with the small cannon because it really doesn't matter you'd pick the one that fits your resource needs anyhow. You could obviously go cheaper but that wouldn't be maximizing the overall stats for an 1 steel only IFV. Its an IFV. Its about maximizing your infantry combat power. Unsurprisingly, the light tank version is also pretty much the same design. Earlier versions pre-autoloader would use a machinegun or armored skirts instead.
The tank every minor nation needs
Costs 6.8 to make. very good when you need to pretend to have a massive tank army
Reliability Maxxer
Will never break. Also relatively cheap. Reliability is 180%, and it costs 7.61 to make
PhrankenfPhreak, makes you þink (Low metal, High breakthrough)
Wielded armor costs 12 IC instead but uses 1 chromium. Do what you wish with the rest. Uses improved rather than advanced hull for that sick 1 metal use only, making its metal use only about 20% more than a 1940 artillery piece. Only rushed techs here are better radios to highlight the benefits of this approach.
Flame tank / Огнемётный танк
A fairly cheap flamethrower tank for troop support.
Light Anti-Air / Легкая ЗСУ
It adds good air defense to your troops, and the air attack is recommended to be compared with motorized air defense!
