So I decided to upgrade every thing and see how much value you get per turn. For each type of Military, I spent one turn building a Construction Site with the Military Production set at 100%. Here's what I got....

Tanks

SAMs

Based on this, here's a few tips. Don't bother creating Bombers or Tanks for the market. You'll get less money. We already know that Ships are King when it comes to Networth...and is also King when it comes to high Maintenance cost.

With the attacks being changed around and bombers being one of the main kill units I'm sure indy's will want to build some bombers now Nice post though!!

[Bright]

I definitely welcome the change, always have liked bombers, but now there's a reason for people to start making them for the market too.

[CommunistCapitalism]

bright remember when we thought bombers killed land back in TTG? DOH. Now would have been the time to strike

[Bright]

Even now there's no bombers hardly ever- I guess if we start seeing them on the PM we should be wary of someone getting ready for war?
