You discuss abstract game and did not consider the time. But it is very important that, to determine the effectiveness of weapons in comparison with other species. You can draw a graph which shows each type of weapon in the form of a wave. in the early days the main thing is the infantry, but then reduced the role of infantry and light tanks becomes a role above all. Then the role of the light tanks decreases and becomes the main Medium tanks and tactical bombers. Needless to say that one type of weapon is good or bad, because everything depends on the stage of the game. The war on day 7, day 14 and day 28 - three different war which to win require three different types of weapons. You can have a good weapon for only one of them and you should know in advance when it will be your main war. If you know it, you save resources. If you do not know, you're doing a lot of unnecessary movements, extra study, extra constructions.
Great Misunderstandings About Infantry
I remember when this game first game out there was a great buzz about the forums about how much grain infantry used up. I have made this thread to fix this, and the problems with oil I have heard a couple times too.
Back at the start, my three favorite units used to be the tac bomber, med tank and DD. Now they are they are the tac bomber, med tank and mechfantry. I used to be scared of using infantry because I was afraid it would use up all my grain and I would be stuck with a bunch of units that were draining my res that I could not get rid of so I built hordes of tanks and bombers. This was a mistake as I would take a couple losses if I ran into an AI's AT gun.
Then I decided to give motofantry a try and see how well I did. It was excellent. It took all the hits that would usually damage my tanks, didn't slow them down too much and did a good job of breaking AT guns. So I started using inf and motofantry after that. In one of my games, I decided to give mechfantry a shot. It is now one of my favorite units. Now tanks slow it down and I can topple any forces. I have plenty of grain to spare and loads of inf and high level barracks running.
You've all been wrong, build inf of all types to your hearts content!
Mess with the Bill, you get the scorn!
