    Default Tank discussion (again)

    Hey, i just messaged to about 6-7 leaders in NW and asked do they support tanks, all replied NO. And in my understanding tanks are better (in theory i can be wrong, but in practice I've never seen myself being wrong Now the price of tanks is even much lower than min price...witch is interesting). But i dont wanna talk about that now.

    The question is why there even are tanks when no one uses those?

    I guess it was waste of money and turns to upgrade those, but even i can do mistakes.

    ps. who wants me, exept wlf?

    I believe the main reason they are not supported by many nations is the price and that they consume more food than inf do.

    I think the strength ratio on tanks/inf is about 8.5/1.4 however the maintenance costs are on a level of 10/1 all the while the nw difference is 1.2/.17. Therefore they may seem like a good idea at the time, but the cost to benefit ratio is not conducive to a profitable state as the cost greatly outweighs any benefit you might gain from having them.

    and I forgot to include the food consumption, for tanks it is 5 times higher than for inf, so when added to the maintenance costs, it seems to be a losing strategy
