Orbis pls dont kill me for suggestion lmao
I think that the amount of steel required to manufacture 1 tank should be lowered.
Currently it requires 0.5 steel to produce one tank
lets assume the price of 1 steel average is $3000
The price of 1 soldier is $5
I read somewhere that a tank is the value of 40 soldiers (please correct me if Im wrong)
so with 1 steel you can make 2 tanks
which is 80 soldiers
and $6000
now 6000/5
is the equivalent of 1200 soldiers.
(I seriously doubt one tank is 40 soldiers, its probably much higher but whatever)
You see the problem, right?
Tanks are extremely expensive to manufacture, and not worth the cost compared to a bunch of soldiers
OK, SO IT TURNS OUT YOUR NUMBERS ARE BULLCRAP AND TANKS GO BRRRRR]
Even in a scenario where 10K tanks easily beat 200K soldiers because I failed to do basic maths or missed out on one specific variable/formula:
Tanks are still incredibly expensive and costly maintain, I mean moving to 5553 and getting your tanks to max would require thousands of units of steel, which is incredibly costly. This is especially a problem for nations with lower city counts and low incomes.
So, I think the amount of steel required should be lowered from 0.5 to 0.25 or around that range, possibly even lower.
As you can see, I am incredibly unconfident in this post but uh YOLO.
I probably broke some hidden forum post rule Idk, poorly executed bye.
