AI Tank Heavy Preference

[Imp]

I recently tried a Soviet WW2 LC using BT-7 as my core tanks in 41, and kept them for several battles before upgrading. They had an unfortunate habit of dying, so the core did not progress in experience too fast.. BTs have to get suicidally close to hit and penetrate panzer 3, even the 38t can kill them with ease. So use their insane speed to flank round a hill or forest and try to hit him en masse at knife fighting range - where if your shot misses, the German fire control and experience and silly short range means their reply shots tend to hit home. I really had to work hard in those first ~5 battles, and the 4 companies of BT had to lean heavily on the section of SU-57 attached to each coy a lot.

Russian Long Campaign if played from start is always hard experience difference between them and Germans is large so Germans are a lot more accurate. Lack of AT weapons is an issue to taking on armour is expensive.
