good doctrine for armored infantry?

[Ricky B]

It depends on the enemy weapons that they are faced with. If there are enemy tanks with even just a decent HA that can strike them - arty with a high HA, AT guns, or tanks, for example, then it can be a bad idea to stay in travel mode. But in many cases, the enemy infantry will have only minimal ability to hurt them in T mode and so it can be safe to leave them - or worthwhile for other reasons too.

Of course, I will use and leave regular truck mounted infantry in T mode at times, but it is the rare situation where I find that worthwile - Bulge is an excellent example for the Germans where it is necessary in the early situation to be able to push down narrow forest paths, using tanks and infantry in T mode to assault disrupted Americans out of the way.
