New BUG: Armies loaded with Panzers

Build and army. Load it with Panzers (not tanks, you have to be German).

You now lose your blitz ability for that army, which kinda makes an army of Panzers borderline useless.

I read that an army inerits the strengths of it's weakest members, so 4 units of Panzer tanks should have no problem maintaining blitz capability, right?

Armies don't have blitz. Period.

IIRC this is not a bug, it's to prevent armies from getting too powerful.

Hm. Is that a documented feature, or a 'figure it out on your own' scenario?

I actually disagree with that, however. Remember, we're talking about an individual countries special unit, so I'm a little ... questioning ... of it losing it's special ability under this circumstance.

I can live with it, don't get me wrong, but I am somewhat ... iffy ... over the subject.

Yes, no army, doesn't matter what's in it, has blitz abilities. It was decided like this by firaxis because otherwise they would have been too powerful.
