As I said in another thread to another poster I am quite willing to cut newbies some slack when they make off the wall statements unless they show up with "attitude" but I am less forgiving of experienced players who should know better.

Please show me an EXACT example where adding TI gives a 100 point boost. Pick a unit that has no TI, give it TI then post it here showing the cost calculator gives it 100 points more.

You won't be able to because IT DOES NOT and you could have found that out in 1/4 of the time it took you to type that.

Typically TI adds 80 points ( armour or infantry slight variations occur due to experience and morale factors but it won't add up to 100) and if your tank has it and the other guy doesn't and the visibiity is 10 he's toast so it's well worth it. If visibity is 40 then "Waaaaaaaa I paid too much for this."

It IS getting old trying to make everyone happy so would you PLEASE do me the courtesy of doing a bit of research first before making unsupportable blanket statements like that in the future ?

Thanks

Don
My apologies, I SHOULD have done some research before making a blanket statement about a +100 point cost addition.

I stand (can't sit because I have Dons' teeth marks in my arse) corrected
