LT + mot inf + SPAA viable strat?

my 10 level 3 medium tanks would shred them

in other words, bad idea

Would it be a good idea to stack 4 light tank, 3 mot inf and 3 spaa in the same stack? Assume it’s the late game and these units are at their max levels.

A couple ATs + inf, maybe 3/5 would prolly be enough (unless you're axis, then a couple more are necessary). MTs, HTs, TDs, yea, they exist; you prolly won't get far if they stand in your way. The only thing you can effectively kill is planes, but then artillery exists, in the form of regular, SP, RRGs, and ships. Rockets are there as well, but that might be taking hypotheticals a bit too far.

Also, the SPAA would slow down your stack. Since you say you use this late game, we'll assume at least lvl 2 SPAA, which has a speed of 62. You'd by then have at least lvl 3 or 4 mot inf and lvl 3 LTs (more or less depending on doctrine), which each have speeds exceeding 69: 85 and 93 for mot inf, 74 for LT. Not to forget, SPAA is very costly in terms of goods, detracting from your ability to produce planes (assuming you are of course; if you aren't, then you 100% will not succeed in your objectives).

Also, how do you plan to defeat any heavy armour? A couple MTs are enough to kill your stack, just by HP alone, as Mr. Zhukov said. You'd prolly need attack bombers I suppose. If you're looking for a really fast blitz stack, consider either ACs, mot inf or a mixture of both, with active air support in the form of interceptors (or rocket fighters even, if its late game and the ranges are short). If you're looking for a power stack, both in terms of dmg dealt and HP, then mech inf and MTs are your best friends. You could even throw in some RRG for good measure (not that I'd recommend it, of course )

My 30 stack of Tactical, Attack bombers and interceptors loves the idea of this stack, use it more often!
