Mechanized Infantry

“

Mechanized infantry is especially suited for accompanying heavy armor. Mechanized support and flank protection greatly increases any armored unit's survivability.

”

Mechanized Infantry are a variant of Infantry units which are heavily armored and suitable to accompany heavy troops, such as tanks.

Mechanized infantry is distinguished from motorized infantry in that it is armored and thus had more hit points, as well as dealing more damage to armored targets.

Mechanized infantry can maintain rapid tactical movement. They require more supplies, fuel and components, and a comparatively larger proportion of manpower is required to crew and maintain the vehicles as opposed to Motorized Infantry.

Unlike the motorized infanatry, the mechanized infantry can be engaged in combat at tier 1.

Send it to the tundra instead of the motorized because the mechanized has buffs.
