Latest update on my battle tactics

To raid a C3 country at war level 3 I only use 3 types of weapons which are...
1000 Offensive anti aircraft missile batteries, 1000 mid range missile batteries and 1000 heavy Artillery. All at quality 250.
Also with 15000 anti aircraft missiles, 30000 mid range missiles and 2500000 Heavy artillery Shells. All at quality 120.
The first thing you do when attacking is by first..... taking out all the helicopter wings using your offensive anti aircraft missile batteries, but not the interceptor wings as they can not attack ground units and will save you ammo from taking them out.
Then second use your mid range missile batteries which will take out all the defensive weapons that are stationed at cities and forts etc... then thirdly use your heavy Artillery to finish off and destroy the cities and forts etc... and keep on repeating this process until the country surrenders.

Also do not forget to set up supply units to resupply your unit

Thank you for the info. Have you learned anything else since?

Why use 120 quality ammo with 250 quality weapons? Does higher quality ammo make no difference?

120Q ammo will affect Q250 weapons when they are put into units.
The higher the Q for weapons/ammo makes a great difference.
On a side note, pay attention to the Q of the units of the country you are fighting. If your fighting Q in each unit is higher than the Q of the units you are attacking, then the losses of your units will be alot less.

Thats ok then cause Ive been buying high quality ammo. Thx

The fighting ability of a unit is the average of the weapon quality and the ammo quality. I.e, 120 ammo with 250 weapons will make a 185 unit.

Ok so 185 is pretty high but how well would a 185 unit do versus a 250 unit? Does the unit quality go to 350 since weapons quality max is 350? Is that how it works?

yes. FB goes higher in fact. If your unit is weaker than the enemy then obviously you will fare worse. I dont believe anyone has quantified this into actual numbers but suffice to say its a common sense thing.

In the higher war levels I have heard that its virtually a must to have max Q units. Else you are going to use a lot of weapons. In a real war it could be the difference between winning and losing.

Unit quality is 50% determined by weapon quality and 50% determined by ammo quality.

It's difficult to precisely determine the effect of unit quality due to the randomness factor, but my previous "research" indicated that the effect of quality played out like this:

Q = Unit Quality
B = Base Firepower, stand-in value for (Hit Rate * Damage) before quality is considered.
F = Final Firepower
Xa = denotes attacker
Xd = denotes defender

F cannot be greater than 1

Ba * Qa / Qd = Fa

Bd * Qd / Qa = Fd

Ammo use per weapon is constant.

As you see, quality is effectively counted in two directions, meaning that higher quality provides "more bang for the buck".

Important to note: doubling the unit quality means it takes half the ammo to destroy a target.

Important to note: the way the "16 round" system works means the more you
