How does the game handle armoured units vs anti tank weapons? Has it been tested and verified as working?

I sincerely hope so because the game looks awesome in the videos.

Have you never played HoI 3 ??

I'd be really interested in knowing if and how they changed the relationship between armour and piercing, and the way terrain bonus' worked from HOI3 (TFH) because the system used there led to some really odd unit combinations being good. For instance, you were far better off having armoured brigades spread across your divisions rather than concentrated in a few breakthrough units. Also, if you made 1xARM 3/4xMTN divisions , they would eat everything in their wake in mountains and hills, the same was somewhat true with marine divisions as well.

Theres a couple of ways round it, at least from the HOI3 system, one would to use a gradual bonus to the armour bonus rather than a on or off modifier to divisions if the enemy can pierce the tanks being used. The other way might be to change the way terrain bonus' work, in HOI3, adding say an ART to a MTN division would hold back not only the ART, but also reduce the effectiveness of the MTN in the divisions too in mountains. Instead it might be better that if attacking in a mountain, only the ART is reduced in combat effectiveness etc, but all this wholly depends on how the new division template system actually works in determining the combat efficiency of the division

Well, my good friend..it eez all about ze physics. If you add ze anti-tank to ze tank you will generate a lot of ze energy obliterating ze both of zem. *cleans his glasses*
"Just like ze matter/anti-matter reaction."

Besides of physics joke why not search a solution in combat events if those are still there? If I had AT at my disposal as commander I would think of them preventing unhindered tank movement (negate blitz events) and make ambushes with them (high damage to incoming tanks). I guess if not self-propelled this kind of weaponry is not really useful as an attacker.
