AIFV costs, should them be lowered or not?

[pdoktar]

Sorry, trying to clarify. I think no AIFV should cost as much as a same generation MBT, given that both have TI sights. Example the posted polish oob AIFV of 450points vs the same polish oobs Leo 2A4 of 450points. (Sorry I haven´t got the game itself now on hand to check the name of this mystical AIFV)

And for the ammo loadout differences.. AIFV missile loads are 4-10 missiles. 120mm armed tank carries 40 rounds, western loadout being atleast 15 sabot rounds plus 15 HEAT and rest HE. Even if the modern AIFV has TA-missiles and scores destroying hits with all of them, it wipes out 4-10 MBTs (TA sometimes hits not the top, so this is uncertain). So modern western MBTs have 30 rounds to try to do the same and 10 sabots can be counted to be as effective penetration-wise as 10 TA-missiles. So MBTs have more armor and fire-power and can carry riders as their eyes and protection. As you said, AIFVs put against same-generation MBTs will be toasted more often than not. So WHY Polish AIFV cost 450, Polish Leo2A4 cost 450? Smaller, maybe, troops under armor, maybe, but still..

This is the point game-wise: Would you buy an polish 450point 10 TA-missiles carrying AIFV or decide to buy something cheaper, less sophisticated, and save the 400+ point single expenditures for the more survivable 450point more fire-power Leo2A4.

Certainly I would and will leave the MBT-priced AIFVs to the weapons encyclopedia. I would like to buy AIFVs, but can´t stand seeing them get killed by almost any heavy weapon like AT-4 ATGM head-on, as the same-price Leo2A4 has so much less to worry about and can concentrate avoiding head-on TA-missiles, attack helos an modern sabot rounds.
