I've always been against the use of tanks personally
I usually stick with vehicles or infantry
I had a nice, long conversation about this with Unky, I'm too lazy to seach it up, but anyways, I find tanks nearly useless. I still build explosive of course, to fight that occasional person who uses them

yeah only after playing with Do or Die did he teach me that inf is awesome


where have you been man?

Tanks are only good if your opp uses tons of anti veh inf(quite common)

Busy with real life man, sadly. I said I had to take a break from BD for a while. But i'm back now ^.^
How you been?

I find a tank army can be very strong and large threat especially now with experiance
people have talked about things dieing and then replacing in diffrent chunks
in battle, it also goes
inf, firepower drops quickly (lots of losses) but in small chunks (low damger per unit)
veh, firepower drops average in average chunks
tanks,firepower drops slowly in large drunks

this can mean that tanks only start to loose firepower long after inf, veh have started

however
the cost and slow build is the cons
tanks can be real powerfull and econimical in the LONG RUN
but in the short run inf have an advantge for quickly getting built and so on

Damage is all calculated round by round, not unit by unit. The most a tank can benefit from having higher HP is 2 inf or 1 veh for each round it survives. In a major battle, that doesn't count for much at all.

the largest batles I have had, troops wwhere one side did not have a serious advantage (spy,nuke, LARGE outnumber) Tanks survivablity has helped dish out a bit more damage by hurting the opositions firepower faster then it looses its own

That could also be due to the fact that explosive units are targetted first. But it should hardly matter considering you should have enough armor to protect them in order to kill the tanks. But yes, that is a bit of a disadvantage.

Units don't die one at a time.

If, in a battle, both sides do 100 damage to each other, then the order of the round is as follows:

Round begins
Both sides suffer 100 damage worth of losses (these losses all happen at exactly the same time)
Round ends

^ The most extra survivability you'll get from a tank is a value of ~1 unit per round. Unit don't die one at a time, they die in bulk, so the only advantage a tank's health has is that there may be surplus damage that is insufficient to kill a tank, but enough to kill a couple of infantry or a vehicle.

By that same science though tanks do more damage a round, so that would be beneficial would it not?
