Light Tank Spam- And The Strategy Behind it.
Light Tank Spam, the great underrated strategy, capable of battling most tactics and has no definite anti-tactic, other than itself. The only other unit that will be needed in this tactic is artillery(and sea units if it's a sea map), Practically ANY game is beatable with Light Tank Spam and Artillery, So, its day 1, you pick, lets say, Egypt on a 22 map, you would instantly make 4 Tank Factories and make a Naval Port in Gaza, send your starting units in that area to Saudia-Arabia and Iraq, you would take them, if World Affairs are in your favor then you would make allies, but lets say your Solo, you would need to declare war on Libya, but defend against their first wave, you may or may not have LT's at this point, but you should have all of mainland Egypt's troops spaced evenly between the 2 provinces, after that advance with those units, now you should NOT defend captured provinces until your AT LEAST half way through Libya, thus enabling you to strike hard and fast, by day 2 you should have Libya, Saudia-Arabia, and Iraq, now you must attack Syria, no problem there, the(sadly) most likely situtation would be that Turkey quit(either just left at begining) or left early after seeing your progress or joined a coalition and is attacking Europe through Instanbul or in that general direction, from this point is really depends on what you wanna do, what i would do is capture Africa, build a strong defensive navy and build lots of industry, then go for countries with little or no captured land,and now its day 6 and you should have about 210-400 VP, maybe someone invades you, with your extensive Naval force you would have enough time to manouver and destroy them swiftly with bombardments and keep your artillery safe while it moves in to bombard from the ground, if they start winning, here's where the name came from- Spam Light Tanks, make ONLY Light Tanks in all cities for a day, then you should get about 20 LT's to fight back with, which would quickly demoralize them and make them possibly fall back or suicide charge, In this situation, DO NOT have your artillery anywhere near this, in case they snipe your artillery with their own, with the speed of the LT's and how little damage the Arty might do, you can quickly overrun their positions and take them, if they have allies then your probably fricked, but speed and scary-ness is a key advantage, no one wants to help their member if their being attacked by someone with this many units, unless they are pro players, then your 100% screwed, in this case- Spam Light Tanks. by now most of the map is taken by you and rival coalitions or other solo'rs, the other Solo'rs would be easy, espcially if they have lots of heavy armor, just play tag with their units and rush their cities. if this is not enough, then i will gladly make a YT video describing exactly how i did this on multiple occasions and as Canada(on 2 occasions) and the UK(once) of all countries, of course this Tactic is meant for most smaller maps and prob wont work on a 100 player map, it DOES work on a 50 player map, as North Mexico, as long as you have allies, and LT's are versitile enough to be used anywhere with allies, so its an overall good general unit to have at all times. Either you can yell at me or make suggestions, ask questions, and all that other junk. Most are gonna critisize me, which i know for a fact will happen, but if you don'y believe me, play a 22 map and use that tactic as a country that is good for it, Canada,African Nations, or Russian Empire, to list those that are good in the 22 map.

Do you not like using them, or do you not like fighting against them?
In either case, explain why, please.
I think discussing pros and cons is helpful for less-experienced players (like me).

Use Planes, heavier tanks, or other light tanks to attack them, or AT and TD to defend.

I agree about Axis falling off in the mid and late game, but I have to wonder if this is because of who plays Axis countries.
I've been playing this game for years, and I've never gotten to play Germany on a 22 player, 100 player, or a historical map. Some clueless noob always grabs Germany and starts to post garbage to the newspaper. They lose their starting army and go AI.
Every. Single. Game.
The stronger the starting army, the more attractive it is to players who like to shoot their wad and leave. It's rare to see an Axis country played with skill.

Countries which conquer more territory in the early game will have an advantage in the late game.

Then i can assume you are a horrible player! Just joking, you seem like one of the best common Axis player's, like, ever, your stats certainly do not lie, so congrats for that, but that does not help the case of the other bad Axis players.Brando Dilla wrote:

If you don’t like them, use Medium Tanks or Tank Destroyers to defeat them.Brando Dilla wrote:

Why is BigFoot here always dropping Bangers? The only Axis country I regularly see do well is HWW Germany and that’s due to their crazy strong starting army.z00mz00m wrote:

Brando Dilla is seriously OP, I don’t see good Axis players like him very often TBH.

As a player who likes variety and plays all doctrines, I think I can say that all doctrines are equally good, with PanAsian the only exception (it is slightly stronger), but that may be because it suits my personal play style very well. They all have their quirks and weaknesses, but I can safely say that I win over 80% of the random maps I enter with every doctrine. You have to adjust your play style a bit, of course, and the point that noobs tend to favor Axis for mythological reasons is certainly valid as well. No matter that they lost the war, there's still this idea going around that they had the "best army" or something like that.

Allied fits my play style, which is to produce fast and upgrade later, who cares if they are slow, if you got more then there is nothing to run from.
20 Mar 2023, 14:07
Same, the speed buff never really did to much damage. In the end axis just doesn’t do well late game. Commie and Pan-Asian are good, though commie is kinda underrated. In the end though allied spam is too powerful.Fox-Company wrote:
