Light Armour Threat

So in my game, I’m almost certain that South Sudan is going to attack me. (I’m Southwest Africa but have taken Angola)

He uses light tanks as his attacking force, but my main fighting force are motorised infantry so far.

what should I do?

You at war with @Fox-Company??!

A good bet here may be anti tank. Make sure to place them in positions to block the light tanks as if they get flanked it’s over. But if you do catch the enemy, even a single AT can solo a light tank. Motorized infantry itself can take on light tanks irrc, as lights start with really bad unarmored damage. Even infantry can solo them in the right conditions, along with AA.

If it’s late enough tank destroyers or Medium tanks would be beneficial depending on doctrine, I believe you are either allied or axis? TD if allied, MT if Axis. Attack bombers are also excellent if you’re late enough into the game.

One of the best options here may be artillery with infantry meat shields. While these other options work, after this war you’ll need something to fight other players. One of the best things about artillery is that it can work against all enemies. It’ll help you even after this war.

Overall they shouldn’t be the biggest threat, as there are plenty of counters to armored units. Best choices though would of course depend on your situation. Still though, even your mot infantry alone could win this, most likely.

Ohhh he's facing LTS. Then yea what Car said is good, maybe invest in AT (its pretty cheap and easy to produce, and if the enemy is using LTS, then you have a guaranteed win.

Idiot? Didn’t you promise to stop saying such unprincipled things, especially to such an intellectual statement?

It’s not everyone, it’s you. You must go on a far journey in order to master the art of enrichment, only then will you be ready to comprehend such statements.

You will, now go! And return only once the art is mastered!
