Mechanized Infantry

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.

### Tatics

The Eastern doctrine has no buffs for mechanized infantry, but if you want to try the UGV it might be the best choice of infantry.

#### Real life equvalent

In the research tabs it seems to be a BTR-50, though in the unit photo it varies.
