View Full Version : Half the tech not even worth researching

Why, exactly, would anyone ever research jet fighters, super subs, or combined arms?

For an average of $30, I'll take 10 infantry (20 points on defence) or 3 fighters (12 points on defence) any day of the week over jets (+1 per jet, i.e. +1 to +5 on defence).

For an average of $30, I'll take 3 fighters (9 points on offence, great defence) or really almost any other units before I'd take super subs (+1 per sub, i.e. +1 to +5 on offence).

Similarly, combined bombardment just doesn't seem worth $30 at all. How useful is a weak shot at the beginning of an amphibious assault? Wouldn't you rather have 3 fighters or two bombers supporting the assault, or even 2 transports loaded with 4 infantry?
