This my first time writing in the forum, sorry if I am asking something that may looks like pretty obvious.
In the late game motorised infantery gets morters as you know, in my opinion this gives this infantery a too big advantage again another land group of units, apart from artillery of course, because they always shoot first. I have read many people saying that mechanized infantery or marines are better units that infantery but I dont understand this for 3 reasons:
1. Modern infantery isnt slower than other infantery units, in fact, is faster than mechanized infantery: so a very active player could defeat pretty easily a big group of tank and mechanized infantery attacking from far away and then running away for a hour to attack again without taking damage: repeating this over and over you can kill without taking damage any land unit group except artillery which is a lot more expensive and less numeorus in any army than modern infantery. So in despite of mechanized infantery having better stadistics than modern infantery it couldnt even touch it.
2. they has indirect fire of course. So even with not a very active player a group of 8 modern infatery would give the first shot again a group of tank and mechanized infantery, infringing them a good amount of damage.
3. they are cheaper and need less meintenance. You will need compounts to make another units like planes or ships, so mechanized steal these vital resources.
The only true advantaje that I see in mechanized infantery is that they fight a lot better again air units bacause of their bigger life points and their stadistics of defense again them but you could just change them for a couple of AA or SAMS doing tha same job better.
So my questions are: why should I build mechanized infantery instead of modern infantery in the late game? and how do you counter a big group of modern infantery with antiairs without using artillery?
