So, the best is V1, as provided it gets first shot, it beats everything.īut, and here's the key bit, by tuning a vehicle's statistics, you can make it far more effective - taking V4 and tuning military/health until damage is only just precisely 18, it will comfortably beat all the specified vehicles above, even when defending. If you run the numbers through, V1 destroys V1 after 4 shots, V2 after 8 shots, V3 after 4 shots, V4 after 16 shots, V2 destroys V1 after 8 shots, V2 after 16 shots, V3 after 7 shots, V4 after 33 shots, V4 destroys V1 after 18 shots, V2 after 35 shots, V3 after 15 shots and V4 after 75 shots. Obviously, V3 is used as a rapid deployment vehicle, you don't actually fight with it. Vehicle 4 - H750, M10, S5 - most health vehicle possible. Vehicle 3 - H150, M10, S45 - fastest vehicle possible. Vehicle 2 - H350, M23, S18 - 33%, 34%, 33% split at first glance, the obvious compromise. Vehicle 1 - H180, M48, S5 - Max damage and max health for that damage. Some examples of Military ground vehicles, as I already have the numbers worked through: The game is always stacked in favour of the player from the outset, as you design several vehicles and swap them situationally - this is done on a Civ wide basis though, so is a very blunt tool.

What difficulty are you on? On Hard it does become surprisingly capable, if the RNG picking their vehicles works the right way.
