I have asked this question before: what is the best squad composition? Here is my result:

9 armor, 21 ranged
5 armor, 10 ranged
3 armor, 7 ranged

This is, of course, the composition of 3 squads, Inf, LV, and HV respectively.

However, between that time and now, I learned two things:

1. Damage units may actually be useful. They have higher hp and cost less.
2. Infantry do 50% damage to tanks, and vehicles do 50% damage to infantry.

Now, here are my questions:

First of all, what IS the "best" squad composition?

Secondly, how does the chassis-damage bonus work? I always assumed that it was inf- 25% to veh, veh- 25% to tank, and tank- 25% to inf. However, what truly is the best matchup?

I'm confused.

Bump?

no damage stink compared to range




if there was a good use for them we would have found one trust me read this
viewtopic.php?f=171&t=1988&start=10

best squad combination is
8 armor infantry 22 range infantry
5 armor vehicles 10 range vehicels
3 armor tanks 7 range tanks
all units in a squad should have he same weapon type


as for the bonuses you are right except that tanks dont get 25% bonus to infantry

I did read that thread. >.> And I prefer the extra inf armor.

As for bonuses, can you LIST the bonuses? And the only bonuses BD tells us is the 25% inf to veh and 25% veh to tank. So stupid.

inf extra 25% vs veh
veh extra 25% vs tank
tank extra 0% against anything

I prefer to use these ratios:

Armor: Range:
Inf: 9 / 21
Veh: 5 / 10
Tank: 3 / 7

And to fully utilize the bonuses soldiers get against vehicles and vehicles get against tanks, I have all my infantry using beam weapons, and all my vehicles using rockets. That leaves tanks, which I just stick with concussive armaments.

Edit: Sorry my chart didn't line up, was hoping it would.

i've been using:
9/0/21
4/0/11
3/0/7

but that's just me

@Ponk,

Interesting, why do you do 4 armor vehicles and 11 range as opposed to 5 armor vehicles?

Minor thing, but I'm just curious.

I believe you guys are wrong quite...
It is good to use damage.

I tested this on the battle simulator:
3/0/7 anti- tank tanks vs 3/1/6 anti- tank tanks
Yes, and it ends with a tie. But the guy with 3/1/6 has lost less money than the other one.

So it should be more advantageous to have damage. I didn't figure out for vehicles or infantry yet though. I believe you need a big amount of range, a big, but bit smaller amount of armour (to take the hits) and a very small amount of damage. I think for infantry it's something like... 9/3/18

but as you get farther away from even unit numbers range gets even better while damage gets worse

and most of the time one side has a much larger army so range is better
