Reliability is an important stat for keeping tanks operational and not wasting any industrial capacity, but if this isn’t a priority for you feel free to crank up the engine and armor values. Its speed means it won’t be a bottleneck for any divisions it’s placed in as it can outpace motorized infantry. This light tank design has high speed, reliability, and breakthrough. Medium tanks are considered the best tank to use due to their low supply cost and high potential piercing, but other tank classes have some niche use cases. Many of the options in the tank designer will come down to personal preferences or situational differences, so feel free to modify these designs however you see fit. Tanks of each type can now be designed with up to 9 modules, allowing a huge level of customization but making it difficult to determine the new meta. The No Steps Back DLC completely overhauled the tank meta in Hearts of Iron IV with the introduction of the tank designer.
