Now to play devils advocate.
edit: Can we at least let a few tanks keep the flamethrower? We may need them to clear entrenched position in the future.
The vote is to convert some of the flame tanks into normal tanks yes. But as a counterpoint I would like to point out that Vorbeck's battalion are heavy infantry meaning Lancers are one of the most common types which form a big chunk of the troops. They can make up for quite a bit of the anti-armour deficiency.
Most common unit types: Shock Trooper, Lancer, Light tank
Her strategy is unorthodox but it won't leave too big an opening. Its quite workable. In exchange you get big boosts against infantry. Reversing her decision removes some of that uniqueness as well as draw her ire, is it worth it? You already have 2 other standard heavy infantry battalions.
[X] Ignore the request — not your job and not your problem
Can we not be Nazis please?
Its a shitty decision all round, like a lot moral questions either side will result in pain and suffering. Issuing the order will mean effectively enslaving people for the foreseeable future, some of whom may have escaped by sea or into the empire, or stayed hidden long enough to avoid the hunters. Ignoring the request means letting the hunters do whatever they want and enslave any darcsen they find only with an added 50:50 chance of shooting them. Meaning some people you can save would die. Though bear in mind the darcsen hunters will be operating any regardless of the choice, your brigade is just one of many and isn't even going to pick up a big minority of darcsens.
I was inspired by this passage in the wiki:
Continuing the long history of prejudice and persecution against Darcsens that date back to the War of the Valkyrur, the Imperial army often staged hunts. Captives were alternately used as slaves or simply executed. Hunts are performed by dedicated squads whose sole duty is to scour settlements both within Empire borders and abroad for Darcsens to capture.
Both choices are valid.
Its one of the dilemmas of choosing to play imperial. I'm not going to gloss over what they were doing in the games. You can probably guess what one of arcs are going to be.
Though bear in mind Federation treats darcsens almost as horribly as will be shown. The Empire just makes it official. Darcsens have it shit on nearly all of Europa.
The Sherman might be a bad example; the Lee was first delivered in late 1941 and the Sherman in September 1942.
Renault FTs and
Carden Loyd tankettes were exported and copied all over the world so encountering them is a given.
Vickers also exported an it's
light tanks and
6-Ton tanks.
All of which are inferior to what we're fielding.
Thats pretty informative but its pretty clearly stated the Fed light tank was better than the imperial one except for speed. Not sure what point your trying to make. I'm just going to make the heavier tank variants for the feds worse, like how the US had trouble with their ones in WW2.
