  1. Foot soliders gain the Largest defensive modifier when using the entrench command.(when given the time to fully entrench)
  2. Extremely vulnerable in open terrain.

Recon

These units help to extend your line of sight because they have a good spotting range and a high spotting strength. However they are very limited in combat power and so should avoid getting into fights.

  1. Large Fuel capacities low supply capacities.
  2. Generally longer range spotting values

Tank

All your Battletank's are to be found in this class, they combine high mobility with high firepower and protection. These are best used in open areas where their inferior close quarters stats do not matter. Tank's are generally weak when attacking towns.

  1. Do not receive a penalty for Firing while moving.
  2. Better armored against indirect fire like artillery.(when Generally compared to other unit classes)

Anti-Tank

These are units that are dedicated to attacking armored targets such as tanks. These are weak against infantry and soft targets so they have to be used sensibly.

  1. Tend to use alot of supplies but have low supply capacities,overall not a great offensive unit class.
  2. Best used from entrenched positions vs armored units.

Artillery

These are your ranged units which are not direct combatants and should not be put in the frontline if you want them to survive for any amount of time, they are best being put behind your frontline troops and they can be used to reduce enemy unit concentrations without having to directly attack them with your troops.

  1. Very vulnerable to close attacks
  2. Less effective vs heavily armored units
  3. Huge supply demand(especially MLRS versions)
  4. Cannot capture land

Transport

These are a range of vehicles that are used to make up your supply services. Supply trucks can be used to transport slow foot infantry around and they can also be used to keep your units stocked up with fuel and ammo which is taken from their cargo.

  1. Generally extremely vulnerable to all forms of attack
  2. Cannot capture land
