So I am currently using 4 "types" of armies currently:
My "Heavy Breakthrough" Division uses a Heavy tank and 2 Infantry, supported by Artillery and AA from afar (Although I use multiple "Divisions" at the same time, more like 6 Heavy's to 12 infantry)
There's my "Assault" Division, which consists of 4 Medium Tanks, 4 SP Artillery, 4 SP AA, 4 Tank Destroyers, and 4 Motorized or Mechanized Infantry, which stand with the artillery while they bombard the target
My "Garrison" Division is made up of 2-4 Militia, occasionally with an AA. I use them to garrison provinces behind the front that are in danger of uprisings
Finally, my "Recon" Division consists of normally 4-8 Light Tanks and 4-8 Armored Cars (which are just leftover from earlier in the game) and they're just there in case the enemy tries to outflank my other Divisions
Is this a good strategy for my divisions and the way i'm using them, or am I missing something?

From experimenting in a recent game, tactical bombers, mechanized infantry, and light tanks seem to be the way to go for me, and this a new tactic for me so I have some fun with it.
If there is a lot of enemy interceptors and AA, I just nuke it. Very handy

For air, use combination of interceptors and tactical bombers. For land, light tanks are core (fast stack), they are fast and not very weak if locked in combat. If target is heavily defended (forts, lots of AA defense or planes protection), you might need artillery (normal and sp if possible). Since artillery has low HP, it must always be combined with AA (normal and sp if possible), light tanks and anti tank if possible (slow stack).
Essentially:
1. air units dictate everything (you use it to bomb enemy land units or kill enemy planes who try to do the same to you);
2. land units capture ground (fast stacks);
3. groups with artillery (slow stacks) to bomb heavy protected land targets.

Nukes

Nukes can't save you until very late phase. Even then, they can hardly do anything. Just a little AA defence and that nuke bomber is down.
EDIT: I see you quoted the part about bombing heavy targets. You know, they have too much AA defence to be nuked with bombers.

Good point. Actually, since you are probably one of the best players in the game, will having int with my TB soak up AA hits and protect it from enemy int?

Yes, it will help. I thought that was obvious.

It is, just making sure before I go leveling them up.
