Best land unit

[crusaderiv]

Nothing better than a tank division!
I like seeing my panzer 4 kicked down the poor infantries of my opponent!

[MrMalachiCrunch]

Well the Robertson screwdriver is the best, pity the Americans stick to the good ole philips….

Man, I was never good with those names.

In French for once, it’s less complicated: we call 'em square, star, and flat line.

I’m partial to the square one.

artillery and infantry are the best combonation

Tanks.

10 Infantry
Rolls: 10@1; Total Hits: 310@1: (2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 2, 5, 3, 4)
10 Artillery
Rolls: 10@2; Total Hits: 610@2: (2, 5, 5, 1, 1, 1, 5, 2, 2, 4)
10 Tanks
Rolls: 10@3; Total Hits: 410@3: (3, 2, 4, 6, 5, 5, 2, 5, 4, 3)

Unless your on welfare like Russia, tanks are worth it, because if you look at it this way

Infantry Attack 1+Defense 2= 3
Artillery Attack 2+Defense 2=4
Tanks Attack 3+Defense 3=6 costs 5  :-D

there you have it in most cases tanks are the best souloution but if you play as russia you might just have to step down to artillery or infantry Its good idea to pair up your artillery and your infantry to make then both hit on a 2 Tanks however can move two spaces letting you get into the battle quicker so you put 10 infantry in west Germany then next round you buy 5 tanks the infantry all already in germany and when place them  next round the infantry and tanks can meet up get on a transport stuff like that all of this at the cost of 60 ips! Then say your oppenent russia has 9 infantry and 2 Mechanized infantry at the end i will put some battle rolls for ya.

Germany:
Rolls: 10@1; Total Hits: 110@1: (5, 1, 6, 3, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5)

Rolls: 5@3; Total Hits: 15@3: (1, 6, 5, 5, 6)

Russia:
Rolls: 11@1; Total Hits: 211@1: (4, 5, 5, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 4)

Just build herds of infantry. The British got your back there’s no need to have to fight too much. Let Britain knock out their IPCS. Then Russia can make efficient push backs on the Germans. Think of it this way. 24+30=54    Germany has 40, though Britain may need to make a few purchases out in Asia, it’s still 14 more IPCS then though Britain might need to support India and Australia, but then again the US can balance it out.

So artillery aren’t needed in Russia. Besides Russia is mainly on defense.

There is no “best” land unit. There are land units with different uses.

-When you want to defend actively, you want mostly infantry while having some attack units (which one depends on the kind of front that you are defending) to stop your opponent from going forward with a big stack.
-When you are all-out defense you want only infantry.
-When you are attacking you want a mix of attacking units and infantry, yes an attack as a bigger win% with the right mix of inf/tanks then with just tanks (there was a very nice post earlier explaining this for people who’d doubt).
-When you are all-out attacking well yes you’d want only tanks the only right scenario for that is blitzing Russia early with Germany and it necessites some prerequisites to be a fine option (in my own opinion, I know a good player who doesn’t agree with me there, depends on the play style I guess)

So in a nutshell, the most needed unit is definitely the infantry, but I wouldn’t say it is the “best” unit because it seems too much of a specific case question (although if you’d tell me that you’ll give me 20 bucks just to shut up and answer the question, I’d go with infantry).
