Re: Why does the game treat US forces as less capa
For US armour, yes, the added thermal sights will boost the cost but "vision" costs add little to a standard US rifle company ( circa 2007 ) unless they include the Javelin ATGM teams which come with "40" vision. The Rifle Co [-AT] can be purchaced with the company and platoon lead units having 10 vision and the rest either 10 or zero. The 40 vision "infantry" units tend to be scouts or missle teams or Arty Observers and yes, when they get to 40 vison the costs go up quite a bit becasue as you noted, if used properly under the correct conditions they have a huge advantage over troops that are not so well equipped.
