My estimate C3 raiding costs

For conquering a country at war level 3 by using air forces and a few cheap special forces units, all weapons and ammo quoted below are around the quality at 250.

Total losses and costs

200 fighter planes. 234B
12000 offensive air to air missiles. 540B
16 presison bombers. 2.88B
12000 presison bombs. 540B

Total cost 1316.88B or about 1.3T

Does anybody else come near to this estimate? as I want to know if this is correct?

why you use fighters ??

better use Offensive Anti air batteries you can strike with them on countries in 1000 range so you can attack countries that are not your neighbors.

per war you can lose 40-80 batteries, also i know tactic how to lose less but it is top secret
(it is not attacking county).

Oh yeah I forgot to mention this was a test out as I do usually use AA batteries, then heavy artillery and tanks to finish off that country.

In terms of your secret, I think it could be down to the quality of your units.

For conquering a country at war level 3 by using ground forces and a few cheap special forces units, all weapons and ammo quoted below are around the quality at 330.

Total losses and costs

48 offensive anti aircraft missile batteries 8.7B
3000 Offensive anti aircraft missiles 158B
41 mid range missile batteries 13B
6600 mid range missiles 369B
73000 Heavy artillery shells 9.5B
70000 Heavy tank ammunition 9.5B

Total cost 567.7B

I can understand why you told me to use AA baateries as it is a much cheaper way of dealing with the enemy. Well i'm not sure if war is going to be cheaper than this, of which I knew this tactic anyway.

I'm thinking about using naval weapons next, of which I think it's going to be even more expensive than using air force units. I'll let you know and post my costs on this page once I do it.

yes anti air batteries are better also you can shield them with mid range missile batteries
in that case you will not lose anti air batteries just few more mid range

I did'nt know that trick darcus, I thought the GMs altered that so you can't shield them anymore, like how the way they have with the air drones shielding the fighter planes, or so i've been told. Anyway thanks for sharing that one with me, i'll try it sometime.

Helloa to you both I was wounded when they stopped the shielding of the fighters with attack drones and a couple of precision bombers. It sure was a shock when I attacked and lost all my fighters. Took a while going through the forum to find out why. Now I just use AAB, MRMB, ATB and HA/HT.

so many options
