Fallout Re: Point costs and balance

Lanniken,

1. Did you bother reading any of what I supplied in way of refs concerning UAV's, otherwise you wouldn't be questioning the vision issue. These UAV's are not cheap and cost millions of dollars in the real world, doesn't it make sense they'd be expensive in the game world also!?!

2. APC sounds more like a tactical decision on your part then a game issue, in regards again to vision, several 100 thousand dollars plus for more advanced systems. In the last Patch Post (See thread.) for example I pointed out the LAV-AD had a FC circuit card that by itself cost 100K+. This is the reality of the modern battle field. One of the oldest battlefield axioms is sort of "He who shoots first wins" this is the why countries invest so much in this and other tech. The IFV is in most modern armies a tenant of the "combined arms" theory.

3. The U.S. didn't sign the treaty in banning the use of CM munitions along with other "civilized" countries. So "BOMBS AWAY" and "INCOMING"!!

4. B-2 and other shoot down issues, S-200, 300, 400, and PATRIOT etc. buy them early! One to five game sets AREN'T going to get you the EXPRIENCE you need to make them better. That's why I play 17, 19, 21 or 23 game length campaigns against the AI. Otherwise shoot and prey!

5. DO YOUR RESEARCH OFF LEGITIMATE SITES PLEASE!!!

Regards,
Pat
