Tank

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.

But is it worth it to make medium tank with small gun

@123 Joke answer: How iron starved are you? Serious answer: If you like more breakthrough, armor, and don't mind giving up 15% reliability, the medium tank will be cheaper and more effective.... If you don't want a scout, a 12 speed vehicle, or a wheeled vehicle. - Light tanks are 60 unit brigades. - Medium tanks are 50. - You pay more in module costs on light tanks if you are making tank brigades. Medium tanks are about saving cost and hitting stat milestones more cheaply than light tanks. Light tanks are about three very arbitrary stat points and wheels. If you've ever found light tanks useful, medium tanks with light guns are something you should consider instead because the games math actually pushes you there. Medium tanks with medium guns are better, but only if you can afford the metal. ---WHEELS ARE VIOLENTLY OVERPOWERED.--- so like, wheel cost saving spam vehicles are just a thing, but they aren't the only thing with cost savings. If you want high stats, non wheeled vehicles make good use of your resources without compromising capability (Somehow.)
