Mercenary T-62 vs tank destroyers

[kosno]

What is your opinion on the AA vs. CWA mercenary tank. Is there any point in upgrading mercenry camp to CWA? Because most of the CVA still using tank destroyers.
Any insight will be appreciated

t62 replaces the jagdpanzer not the tank destroyer.

Yes i know but are 6x t-62 better than 3x tank destroyers?

The T-62s go for defensive buildings only. If the rest of your forces lag behind cleaning up everything else, the T-62s will die fast without support. Heavy Destroyers go for all buildings, so they’ll stay with the rest of your troops and last longer.

Yes, upgrade Merc camp to CW...but certainly Not for the T62.
You will want it for the Irish Peacekeepers.

I think it depends on your war attacking ability but yeah I would not upgrade the mere camp to get the T62 after using them. As mentioned they are just the big daddy of jagpanzer and as such have the same flaw in that they target only def buildings. Very high hp and very fast movement but in war attacks it can break your attack. Most will drop generals and destroyers together because they both target "Any" thus are better controlled. Having the T62 run off and potentially cause troops to spawn that you didn't want to spawn or they can cause the silo target to change by being away from the generals is a huge problem. MP probably but war wise, they are not worth the risk of using. Unless of course it's a player that uses all demolitions on a silo to get rid of it than they may seem more appealing. That game plan won't work against a good base anyway.

i use the T62s in preference to TD's ... there are strategies where they are better.

T-62's make fine silo bait if you're using a particularly squishy army. Six of those are usually more than enough to keep the heat off of your main forces, depending on how advanced your generals are and where you place them. If youre attacking with a tank or heavy tank based army the tank destroyers more than make up for their relative lack of HP with the ability to actually kill things in a timely fashion. Plus it's much easier to rustle up 24 ciders than 42 metal usually.

I probably wouldn't prioritize the CWA merc camp upgrade but it's certainly worth doing like Omegaman said.
