Description
Mechanised Infantry are infantry equipped with armoured personnel carriers (APCs) or infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) for transport and combat, making them much more viable against armored enemies as opposed to motorised infantry.
Most APCs and IFVs are all-wheel drive vehicles (6×6 or 8×8), useful for mobility across rough ground. It is important to note that Mechanized infantry do not fare well in rough terrain particularly Jungle and Mountainous most particularly, but being on the offensive in forests will also prove inefficient.
Given that more advanced technology is used for upgraded tiers of this Infantry, more combat supplies (ammunition and especially fuel) and ordnance supplies (spare vehicle components), and a comparatively larger proportion of manpower is required to crew and maintain the vehicles.
