Tanks with a blue star next to their name are gift tanks, tanks removeIf required, a planning permit must be obtained before a septic tank permit can be issued. Tanks displayed below with a gold icon next to their name are available for purchase either in-game or in the gift shop. A premium tank's credit value is equal to its gold value times 200. Premium tanks' gold values are displayed on their respective pages.

First of all, artillery is very powerful in terms of damage, but is easier to kill than infantry. There's a couple of main factors in combat in Victoria II. Forum Avatar Forum avatar for the Paradox forum.

While Guards are great for attacking in the midgame, they don't get as many upgrades as Infantry does. There's quite a lot of debate between which is better, but I believe that in the current version of the game, Infantry is overall the better choice. Aftermath is the number one boom for 2019’s World War Z and will release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on September 21.But you don't want too many units in the front line compared to your artillery, because at that point those units might overflow into the backline and block artillery brigades from the backline, which results in a lower overall damage output.Overall it is therefore best to have X number of artillery, and then have X number of frontline units.Next you have to think what frontline units to use, there is a couple options:First of all, Infantry vs Guards.

If a unit doesn't get its supplies, it will not reinforce, and that is the biggest issue with if you run a lot of tanks in your army. Which is a huge issue, because you will be wanting to use that fuel for ship production in most cases(unless you're frigate cheesing). Tanks use a very rare resource in fuel. I sometimes build Tanks myself(especially because the mod we're currently playing in multiplayer buffs them) but I feel they're not optimal. Now Tanks are pretty much the replacement for Guards lategame, they cost a lot more than Infantry, but are also actually better than Infantry lategame(unlike Guards). It also saves you the trouble of having to keep track of which stacks are Guard stacks and which are Infantry when you mobilize.Next up is Infantry vs Tanks.

And that you do with the little mechanic called 'Recon'. There is however, a way to avoid them. It really buffs defending armies quite a bit. This is because Hussars are a thing.If you've ever attacked in Victoria II, you'll know that the dig-in cap is a nasty nasty thing. As you probably noticed earlier on I kept saying 'frontline units' instead of just saying Infantry, even though I discussed how infantry beats out all other options. Keep in mind that if you do run tanks, run them in separate stacks from your infantry.Lastly there's the Cavalry variants, now I'm going to be very brief and say they all suck EXCEPT for Hussars.Hussars are crucial in most of the game.

Edit: Dragoons have Recon too, but not as much as Hussars do, and are therefore best avoidedEdit2: after some intense discussion with Guren who's a cheapskate and prefers dragoons because they cost less than hussars, I suppose they're alright, but I'm still on #teamhussarNow how do you do that? Well every single Hussar provides Recon for 10 brigades, so if you want 100% recon, you need to have 1 Hussar for ever 9 other brigades. So it is crucial to get enough Hussars in to raise your Recon to 100%. Hussars are the only units that have a lot of Recon in the early to mid game. This number is very important for an army that is going to be attacking, as 100% Recon serves to remove the dig-in cap from a defending army.

Do keep in mind however it always takes a lot of micro and time to pair up your mobilized infantry with your pre-made artillery stacks, so you always want a number of prepared proper stacks with actual infantry in them, to be able to hold the enemy off while you mobilize. So instead of wasting your force limit on Infantry, you can just take the infantry from mobilization instead and have those defend your artillery. As I said earlier on, you want as much artillery as possible, protected by an adequate frontline. If you use this tactic while your opponents do not, you will have a huge numbers advantage in terms of Artillery you're able to deploy. These can be paired with 8 mobilization brigades for a decent stack that can definitely do a lot more than pure infantry.

As you can see sometimes it's surprisingly successful (this was in low supply limit province, you wouldn't want to suffer that attrition with 60k stack as China, would you?) sometimes not so much. This is the largest reason to get hussars instead of dragoons as hussars start with recon value of 2 compared to 1 of dragoons.Bonus composition is 0/20/0/0 when I'm playing as China. Do keep in mind that has the capability to mess with your recon, or your front/backline ratio.If you have any questions or suggestions, or can come up with a justification for 42k stacks, please do comment!You should probably add links to wiki pages for warfare mechanics in case someone wants to check something:Engineers are actually very useful since they help reduce defender's fort bonus as wellSiege reduces the effectiveness of enemy forts, both in reducing enemy casualties and in increasing occupation time, by one fort level for every point of Siege the highest-Siege unit in the army has.Hussars do not actually remove dig-in bonus but divide it by their recon value.

X will be speed of 1 brigade. I tried to calculate time needed to occupy a province with both 4/4/1/1 and 13 stack with 1 eng and 1 hussar.Let t10 be time needed for 10 brigades and t13 time for 13 brigades. Also fighting Heavenly Kingdom once it appears results in interesting all ART battlesAs for 42k stacks i cant really see any reason to do those since they waste a lot of recon and siege by not being multiple of 10.According to , occupation speed maxes out at 13 brigades.
