Armoured Cars

[Quintarka]

Armoured cars should give recon and initiative bonuses, give us a reason to put them in our armoured divisions.

Armoured cars aren't even in the base game, are they?

I'm gonna assume you're playing a big overhaul mod like Road to 56.. in which case you should suggest this to the mod makers instead.

 

[Quintarka]

yes they are they are in the artillery tech tree

No they aren't? Also, why are they in the artillery tech tree?

Road to 56 mod is one of the ones that put it there, I dunno why, you'd assume they're in the Armor section.

@Quintarka you're not playing the base game- take it up with the makers of whichever mod you're using.

I remember the armored car threads. And the train ones too.

The reason you use armored cars (in road to 56) is to act as cheap fast garrison units as opposed to motorized or mechanized, in other words they are not meant to be armor support but are garrison/scout support

Do they have better suppression than cavalry? Because I'd hate to have armored cars as suppression units if they're completely less effective for their industrial cost.
