So question...

Why do ICs produce the same # of units for troops / turrets / jets but different for tanks?

Shouldn't they produce more troops than jets / turrets?

they do produce more troops than rest.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

Did you even test it or are you just saying things again? Because Celphi is correct.

If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Again., you shouldn't comment if you don't know what you're talking about.

Because each of troops, turrets, jets are valued "2" if you tally their off & def power. Tanks are not.

Mehul's logic anyway, methinks.

Finally did the signature thing.

Valued 2? Then why does troops replenish faster than jets/turrets?

I thought it was def/off power:
Troop: 0.5
Jets/Turrets: 1
Tanks: 2

Or
4 troops = 2 jets/turrets = 1 tank.

(4 * 0.5 = 2) === (1 * 2 = 2) === (2 * 1 = 2)

If you produce them at the same rate from an IC, it would seem pointless to ever produce troops since jets/turrets always sell for more.

What pang is saying is that troops have 1 offensive plus 1 defensive unit, total 2. Jets and turrets each have the same, 2 for offense and 2 for defense, which presumably mean tanks have 8.

Jets have no defense capability's the 2 point values are offensive only ! And the last time I checked Tanks have 4 point value on both ends defensive and offensive ops. I use this tank advantage to do land grabs, when I am short on troops or jets tanks give me the punch I am looking for.

but what Celphi was trying to get at was the cost of troops is considerably lower especially in comparison to turrets, if you use base private market costs is just over 60$ difference.
