Not at all. In the normal game, it is much more effective to research DUCs, PPBs, and then APBs, than it is to research APBs directly. This is because for the same cost of research, DUCs or PPBs are much more powerful than APBs. The research cost of DUC V and PPB V is very small when compared to APB XII, so researching them first doesn't hurt much at all. Also, Combat Sensors + ECM and DUCs are better than PPBs. You have to factor in researching other things too.  |
