Is “AC + LT + Infantry” a good stack?

I’m using a few AC + LT + Infantry stacks in my ROMANIA game, and they seem to be working good. Should I keep making them?

I’d say if it’s working , keep going, but I’d suggest to add some anti air incase of planes

My father once said this: “If you don’t know anything, don’t assume you know and don’t say anything you don’t know is true”
I always got annoyed when he said that, but to be honest he’s kinda right if you think about it
Have a good day!

It’s a good stack, especially in Axis. But as Neptune said, if your opponent has bombers, you should add anti air to your stack. SPAA if you don’t want to lose move speed. If not, keep interceptors nearby.

I forgot to say: be weary of “meat shield” stacks, or anything with MT or HT. You might want to keep some ABs around to deal with those, should you run into any.

What are ABs?

Attack Bombers

Infantry would just slow down AC + LT. Like others have said, keep interceptors on overwatch close by. Another option, keep strats close by. If bombers show up, send strats to destroy the air strip they are operating from, then destroy the planes in truck form. Works like a charm. But ACs and LTs are both fast movers. Stacks only move as fast as their slowest unit.

I think he should replace the foot infantry with mot or mech infantry. Both have buffs in Axis so it just depends on your play style.

As for the Strat Bombers, research and producing several of them at high levels is crazy expensive. Also, good luck getting those strats past enemy interceptors.

Also, why not go for Medium Tanks + Mot inf? They're buffed and amazing as Axis. They also roll through the Soviet plains so well

Build a ten stack of strats and skip level upgrade them. Yes it’s expensive but can be used to great effect. They will take a hit from interceptors and still be able to take out an air strip with one patrol cycle unless they have a lot of building such as a core city. Once the planes are in convoy form, you can kill them easily. Remember, if the interceptors direct attack, they’ll need to refuel. If you’re active, the air strip won’t last long enough for that to happen. I’ve seen it done many times, to good opponents and bad.

You are pairing two fast units with slow infantry,I don't like that at all.

I use light tanks only with pan Asia but with every doctrine they are good!

I will have some spa or rrg main stack and light tanks/ACs running around grabbing land and spotting enemies for air force and main stack to attack.

Like others already mentions, the infantry slows it down. So replace it with mot infantry.

Or remove it entirely and don’t add anything

A better stack is "L + Ratio + Bozo + No Maidens"

Is that what you use?

Why not? Add some artillery though if possible
