Josh -> RE: Halftracks - Are they worth it? (3/15/2011 9:08:22 AM)

You mean in AT? Yes as far as I know they do have a combat value, not much though, I used them to keep my Inf close to my armoured spearheads. Problem is they are expensive and use up lots of supply. So in my games they only showed up at least halfway through the game, in the later stages. If you build them too early they're not worth it IMO. Later in the game when you have some production to spare, I do build them. I mostly build an Armoured Inf unit something like 3 halftracks (60 transport points) and something like 20 Inf, some Machineguns/ Mortars/ AT guns, never more than 50 points so you can stack 2 units without getting an attack penalty. That unit, especially when it's in woods, can block enemy vehicles for sure. Then you can encircle your opponent with your Tank units. I think they have a higher Air defense value too, protects you from fighterbombers... a bit.
So worth it? Not early in the game in my humble opinion, later on only in selected units. Matter of fact, horses rule, certainly at the start of the game.
