Is Mechanized worth it?

All that said, wheeled vehicles are slower than infantry in many cases. Motorized battalions should operate at infantry speed on the attack. It should take mechanized infantry to keep up with tanks.

Would be actually a very good idea to make tanks only possible to go at full speed with Mechanized.

Motorized should have its max speed more impacted by Infrastructure so they get slower than infantary in very low infra (1-3) but close or at full speed in infra 8-10.

I am currently doing an Isolationist US game and was looking at using Mechanized for the first time, since I would have the factories. However, their stats aren't the best and they lack good breakthrough. So I'm wondering, Is Mechanized worth picking up and using?

I would certainly go for them if you play USA with crazy industrial output. Just build many thousands of them, and use them instead of motorized in divisions with armour.
If you want to make mech.inf. divisions sure do that as well. But they won't have high breakthough. However they are the best defensive units because they move fast into gaps and have superduper defense and soft attack, with some mobile arty or rocket trucks very good units.
