There are no real distinctions like that in HOI4. This especially comes into play when you research the anti-tank infantry weapons techs.Ĥ) The infantry weapons support techs, while not that great, are more or less an IC-free upgrade to INF.ĥ) HOI3 had distinctions between MIL, GAR, and INF. This may not seem like it matters, but trying to pin enemy armor down with pinning attacks with pure INF is an exercise in watching ORG bars drop quickly.ģ) There is actually a wide disparity in terms of INF fighting power between different tiers of infantry kits. The ORG wall buys time, but it doesn't buy infinite time, and in the absence of any kind of real response to either armor or air power, it loses.Ģ) Pure INF is garbage on the attack. Properly applied armor and air power tends to grind pure INF down quite well except in certain kinds of bad terrain.

They serve a purpose in MP, but it's no accident that even when I play the Soviets and run an very heavy INF build, I still don't run pure INF spam all over the place.

A few things I should add to this discussion.ġ) Pure INF divisions work a lot better against the AI.
