Is mechanized infantry + tank destroyer a good stack?

Eh RRG stacks are slow and a smart player should be able to hold them off long enough for nukes to be researched. I usually have a gargantuan surplus of RMs when I play so that does not affect me that much either. In late game, they can definitely be countered. And it is possible to reach late game…

Counter espionage, the ocean, using their own tactics against them, etc can all contribute. Just like a good play can make it impossible, a good play can also make it possible. The RRG meta has counters!

Counter espionage can still waste their money, either way eco sabo has never had an impact for me in any games. Get a fleet and naval bombers and the enemy Guns become useless. Rushing around them, catching them deep in mountain provinces with melee, overwhelming them with plane spam and others can all work.

Basically it may be all around good against all strategies, but if you spec into a lot of one, it can overwhelm them. Stuff works, I’ve destroyed even competent RRG players before. @Fox-Company and I obliterated one without using any guns of our own in a WaW once.

I'll take your word for it...

The most fun part was constantly nuking the shit out of every stack Venezuela sent. They kept sending more, and we just nuked the hell out them lol

The K/D boost was such a nice thing, 10/10

Would 5 mech inf + 5 td be a good general stack?

Get some artillery and some motorized inf/armored cars

And what you going to do defend the whole game?

Armoured car, available earlier then mech inf and doesn't eat your food away, doesn't require separate production building etc etc.

And even that doesn't cut it if you don't use spa with the stack.

Armoured car,sp artillery and tank destroyer is only correct way. You can add spaa to the mix or rush research for max AC. 10 in the stack will have roughly 100 AA defence but I always add spaa .

Adding mech inf in mix with highly defensive unit like TD is only doable if making 10/10 stacks.And what you going to do defend the whole game?

You got a point... td is just a defensive unit and to spend so much on a defensive unit is just like acknowledging that your enemy is stronger than you and you need to go all out defense

that atleast makes some sense, why'd you make so much of armored units without even a single unarmored? atleast give potential attack bombers some difficulty in destroying u lol

Unarmored units typically have a low health that makes rather inefficient

Medium armoured units aren't as weak to attack bombers as heavy ones are and as my stacks go 30 medium / 10 heavy armoured units you are looking at 75%/25% damage distribution

First aircraft I am making and lead leveling is interceptor aswell.

If you ever stumble upon me in the game and it is past day 5 be sure that I have 0 unarmoured and prep all attacking bombers you can produce.

Won't help ya

When doing such layout my stack is ~1700hp with north of a hundred AA defence,and if on hills over 200.

What about the default infantry you get at the start? do you send em to the chopping block *skull*

And I ment 0 in terms of production as I am making rocket artillery and artillery in first 5 days or soo.

Also, as nerfed as they are (2 day 2 delay, practically 4 days due to Axis & Commie buffs) do medium tanks still have a place in Allied? They are more expensive than TDs as well.
