I DisAgree,
A land unit that has a 4 Defense has 1 really big Advantage. It does not have to end it’s move in a Friendly Territory you controlled at the begining of your turn. You no longer have to commit your fighters to those Iffy Defensive positions either. It would not take the place of Med Tanks either Based on Cost Alone. This unit is what you folks sound like you want in a Heavy Unit. A Defensive H. Tank.
8 IPC’s is Just Cost for a 3,4,2 Tank. Expensive ( Your not going to have a stack of these like you would w/ med. Tanks) yet Cost effective if used correctly.
A Down side could be that only 1 fits in tranny, No infantry ride alongs
A Cost of 8 is also the same (or was) as Trans, and Subs. Both Complicated and Expensive units to Build.
@Emperor_Taiki:
Yah but I am afraid that if it costs 8 or 9, and it should cost 9 to show how hard it was to make heavy tanks, then a fighter will almost always be a better buy.
That makes no sense… So by that line of thought, Why Does a Bomber cost 12 IPC’s and a A Cruiser Cost 12 pts?
America pumped out far more Bombers then Cruisers And Yet they Cost the Same. But Obviously one was much “Harder” to build. :roll:
