      I do like softattack so I have a soft spot for Howitzers. But I think your analysis on the autocannon is faulty. You don't kill people (or ponies if you are into EaW) with tank guns you kill them with tanks. And that adds about 30 extra production cost to it. Let's say you make tank with a production cost of 30 I make that same tank but with a howitzer gun for 35, I'm still taking my design over yours because 6 tanks with doubled soft attack is better than 7 tanks with half soft attack.

    Just saying that tanks need to defend all the time as both the AI and other players tend to counter attack after you took a tile. Even more pronounced in MP as tanks often need to defend pretty hard after closing an encirclement.

      I agree fully. It's also why I like to pick the +50% entrenchment speed for the generals of tank armies when possible. Combined with a recon tank with dozer blades and an engineer company they are quite formidable in holding off counter-attacks long enough for the infantry to mop up the encirclement.

    In terms of Experience and reliability, the Christie suspension and gasoline engine are always the most efficient picks. The amount of points that would otherwise go towards the engine can be reinvested into armor or nothing at all for the reliability boost all while keeping the same speed as you had with Diesel+Torsion/bogie suspension

    • @drunkenthoughts6072
      @drunkenthoughts6072 2 года назад +19

      Yeah, as someone who've been in love with the tank designer and trying to make semi-efficent historical/LARP tanks, being stuck with torsion bars and diesel sucks, and I notice simply changing to gasoline is just straight up better if you are ever messing with the armor/engine. That +0.5 max speed is huge, and while you might be able to squeeze some extra speed(which can be converted to armor & breakthrough) with a diesel engine and non-christie suspension, you'll need to increase the engine by a lot more, which mean more resource cost(which can be debilitating) and in some cases is not even available with engine limitation(You can only upgrade to 20 max, and years limit you teching the engine tech). Plus while Feedback might be indiffirent toward speed, I feel he is a bit harsh because more speed means less chance to be intercepted(reach a tile faster before you can get locked by an attack), and more overruns. You also get more distance per fuel because your tank can simply reach more distance per day which is huge in eliminating fuel/supply issue before you can take a supply base(Also fuel capacity scales with fuel usage anyway, so a faster tank with higher fuel usage is actually more fuel efficent combat wise).

      This is wrong. Bogie is almost always better than Christie. I tested it myself and a Bogie with 5 engine had the same speed and was CHEAPER than a Christie with 3 speed. Speed upgrades are much cheaper than changing to Christie. Go try making an 8km/h light tank, no matter how you do it the Christie will lose out to the Bogie every time.

The decision between Christie and Bogie is not just a question of production cost, but also of Reliability.

    Rocket launchers should be extra modules, not main weapons, change my mind. That way you could recreate things like the Sherman Calliope. I also completely disagree with the tiering of the howitzer(s), there is simply no such thing as overkill soft attack. The more you have, the better. Enemies break faster and suffer massive casualties. Battles go faster, the enemy has less time to reinforce, encirclements are easier, and as others have already pointed out, tanks actually need to defend a lot, and soft attack is useful for that, unlike breakthrough. Classifying the vehicle as an SPG gives a huge bonus to soft attack so the two synergize really well, mixing in dedicated SPGs with proper tanks in an about 2:3 ratio will annihilate everything. Especially with Superior Firepower doctrine.

      I think Rocket Launchers should be both main and secondary weapons. Since they were both historically.
      See the Calliope and the Pershing T99, as well as the Katyusha and Panzerwerfer. Hell, look at all the stuff the Germans slapped Wufrahmen 40 rockets to. They slapped em on tanks, half-tracks, trucks, everything they could, sometimes as secondary weapons, sometimes as primary.
      As for howitzers, I have no idea what they were thinking. The Heavy Howitzer would, in my mind, equate to a 150mm< cannon, like the 150mm sfh, 152.4mm ML20, and the 155mm Long Tom. Which were all designed and produced either during the early parts of the war, or before. So I don't get why it's locked behind the *entirety* of the Artillery tech.

    At 3:05 you state Light Fixed Superstructure is for SPG or AA, but this is wrong. AA cannot have a fixed superstructure.

      It's *really* good until you get Easy Maintenance, then it falls off almost entirely.
      They take up the same slot on the tank, and at the point in the game when you have EM, the tank chassis themselves base cost is usually rising by about 1 point per generation. Replacing Wet Ammo with EM basically lets you produce the latest tanks at the cost of the tank from the previous generation while hardly losing any stats. There's pretty much no situation after EM is researched where spending 1 more on production is worth getting 5% more reliability. So after EM is researched, its only role is to really give you a lot of emergency reliability if you're going crazy with your other components.
      If EM didn't exist in the game, Wet Ammo Storage would probably be S tier.

    If you build tanks for defense and low production cost: they are really good at it, dozer blades can also be put on SPAA, SPA and SPAT tanks to give the division they are in more entrenchment. Hoi4 is a game of modifier stacking, any stat, that only had a small investment generally sucks. armor but not enough armor? No point in having armor at all. Breakthrough but not enough breakthrough? Focus on something else. Defense and Entrenchment are intimately tied together however because one modifies the other and both of these stats are really, really easy to stack on a tank division but either go all in or don't bother. Try cheap tank, fixed turret, AA, dozer blades, radios and skirts, ammo, attach them to infantry and park them = division that laughs in the face of cas spam. The stats on this tank are not amazing (well except air attack, that will be scary) but because it adds entrenchment to the leg infantry it has a vastly outsized defensive benefit compared to what the actual template says.

      Yeah, but the tank design itself doesn't (and shouldn't) do that job. That's the job of the other battalions in the division, like your motorized or mechanized battalions or the fill-in infantry divisions that are following a tank thrust.
      If you're maxing out breakthrough, you aren't going to lose much org pushing into enemies anyways because you're hardly going to take any damage. All of the org provided by your mot/mech will soak up any potential counter-attack by the freshly weakened infantry divisions, but they shouldn't be much of any kind of threat given that you just depleted their org and pushed them back moments ago. At best, they can cycle-charge you to delay your thrust (until hopefully armor or anti-armor can arrive), but at such a massive cost to manpower and equipment that its almost always better to let you have the tiles and retake them later than it is to try and halt the advance with your fill-ins.
      Even then, any player worth their salt isn't going to be counter-attacking into the tank divisions making the thrust, the counter attack will come on the fill-ins holding the territory behind them to try and encircle the tanks and get free tank division kills. Nobody wants to push a tank division back 1 tile and just have them thrust back in after they've fallen back and recovered their org. They want that division completely dead so its not on the board anymore and the only way to do that is to encircle it. You can't encircle a low defense tank as easily because "pinning" units will win the battle and force it back faster than your counter-attack can break their fill-ins behind them.
      The _only_ reason I can think of to make the tank design have a high Defense stat is to slow down the rate at which you lose tank equipment whenever somebody attacks your tanks directly, but the actual division defense of that unit will almost always be coming from your mot/mech battalions, not the tanks themselves. The value of this is greatly diminished by the reasons outlined above: any sane commander is not attacking your tanks directly; they're attacking everything around them instead.

      @@IceMaverick13 You're forgetting about the (common) mp tactic to have tanks hold the fill ins while a smaller contingent pushes. Nobody puts all their tanks on the frontline spearheads - way to easy to lose them. Ex: it's 1942, Germany has 15 tanks on the soviet frontline. 8 are pushing in 2 spearheads, 7 are holding. Also, while defense isn't that important in tanks, having a decent defense on the tank designs means you can get away with less motorized/mechanized in the division to make up for it. And you can absolutely pin low defense tanks if you pin them with infantry. The only divisions I can think of that have such low defense they can't be pinned are also unusable due to low health and org.

    Rockets gives high soft attack/cost ratio. That is what is important on the tank.

    Amphibious modules: Ehh, I mean, aside from memeing super-heavies into amphibious tanks, I'd put them at "I want to naval invade but would rather convert my existing tanks rather than build new ones with the amphibious chassis". Nice in some situations (Germany having mostly won in the continent, having a glut of extra tanks, now planning to invade a heavily fortified UK could be such case I guess, not that the AI heavily fortifies the UK in most games), but otherwise I wouldn't bother with it.
    Actually using amphibious tank chassis can generally get you a better stat line. And I do like the concept of a heavily elite (and expensive) amphibious tank+Amtraks to establish and secure a beachhead before bringing in the regular forces to do the rest of the conquering. Sure, it's gonna be an incredibly expensive division, only worth if you are doing a lot of naval invasions and even then in relatively small numbers, but I wouldn't discount it.
    And a sidenote on easy maintenance: It's actual cost is the land experience which, I think, is 10 instead of 1 like the other modules. It's always a good pick if you have a free slot, but some countries might prefer to wait a bit before adding it in if they have more pressing uses for the XP.

    I use GTs on light tank divisions to pull off encirclements when the AI leaves gaps in their front lines. Dump tons of speed into a tank, stack an army of motorized behind them, and micro like you've never micro'd before.

    Wet ammo storage is a must on the more expensive tanks because even if the tanks turret is disabled it allows you to retreat without it blowing up and incurring more costs. That’s the whole point so the ammo doesn’t jump off the rack and blow up the whole thing. I feel like it would be way more meta for retreating or increasing tank durability if they added in critical hits on tanks because they can be one shot if you hit the ammo or the engine a certain way.

    I actually think the dozer blade is really good, if you're a minor and planning on defence, make a cheap as chips light tank with them and add a light tank recon-company, and that's a base +1 entrenchment for all infantry divisions. I recently played a game as Bulgaria and used these to hold out against the entire axis by myself, so strong when used like that (also don't forget to stack other entrenchment modifiers)

    Rocket tanks are for the recon divisions, IF you are using infantry. This way you are - at least on paper - squeezing maximum amount of raw soft power.

    Torsion bar suspension doesn’t give the advantages in the game that it does in real life by a long way. You get far more room inside your hull for crew and equipment, is cheap and weighs far less than other types.
    One negative was it needs a stabiliser for the gun which seeing as both are in the game they could have made it so if you took torsion bars you get a negative unless adding stabiliser to achieve its potential.

      Soviets used diesel cause the fuel is easier to make . And Didn't explode the Tanks Like Gas. The diesel back then Used more fuel vs Gas(More Oil to make a gallon of Fuel) t wasn't diesel #2 like today. Why The Soviets had to put extra fuel tanks on their tanks. Diesel engines are actually simple to work on . There is only 4 Components to a Diesel engine. Overheating is the main issue with diesel engines . And the diesel Fuel can Gel or freeze in the winter.
      Gas in 1940 Better Gas Mileage in 1940
      Didn't Freeze or gel in the winter
      American's and Brits were used to Gas cars so for the allies there were more Gas engine Machines.
      Second Plane Mechanics Making the Gas a fuel a higher Octane. Since Gas was already being process . Its wasn't a extra process. Mechanics could switch from Planes to Tanks to other Vehicles with out issue.
      Germans Synthetic Gas (Terrible Fuel usage and maintenance nightmares) because they ran out of Oil during the war. Oil Not a Issue issue with Russia or the USA .

Cheap 9/1s will have tons of defense and extra stats from high entrenchment. It's not hard to get like 60% entrenchment. You really need the extra breakthrough to ensure that you're reducing the hit chance on all of the defender attacks.
