Medium Vs heavy tanks ..... which is better as allied doctrine?

Well.....both are heavy armour, one is quite stronger but also quite more expensive and even more slower....

Which is generally more effective? Is a heavy tank an overkill or is the extra costs worth it? Especially with tank destroyers being built as well that is.

you can attack and defense with them , they are like expensive tank destroyer

Interesting...so you mean both in all doctrines or only as allies doctrine?

I agree that both are bad, but I think meds are slightly better (or: less bad) than heavies.

Right, I almost never build tanks as allies. If I were to build one it'd be situation-dependent, but it would probably be mediums. I don't think heavies are as useless as some people claim but I think mediums are better in most situations.

interesting.....even though medium tanks have a research availability penalty?

medium tank has 80 hp light armor damage 15.5-10.3 heavy armor damage 8.0-5.3

heavy tank has 115 hp light armor damage 19-19 heavy armor damage 15-15

tank destroyer has 100 hp light armor damage 12-18 heavy armor damage 14.7-22.1

heavy tank has equal damage at attack against infantry with medium tank and it has more damage against infantry at defense than medium tank

medium tank has lower damage against light and heavy armor

medium tank has lower hp than heavy tank

you can use heavy tank at two situation attack and defense

if I would play allied doctrine ,I would go with tank destroyer and add an anti-infantry unit near of it , even only infantry would work with tank destroyer

but If you want to use med or heavy tanks go with heavy

there is no advantage for medium tanks at allied doctrine

yes heavy is more expensive than medium tank but you can use them as offensive and defensive unit
