And I do mean a few will make little diffrence to total no of tanks but seems in my view to give a more piecemeal setup than tank heavy off.

AI tank heavy tries to buy a tank company more often - which means that the AI requires to have the points available to do so. It will sometimes then buy platoons of grunts, when it would normally buy companies of them. That does not really save that many points though. Therefore, it is really only noticeably different when points are rather high. It is not going to make any real difference on a thousand or so points battle. It may do on a 10000+ points AI buy.

In any case, the regular AI buy is rather "tank heavy" for most real WW2 situations..
