Add "Training" Ammunition Use to Reporting in "Total Defense Cost"

As it is now, most military expenses are based on the consumption of products, such as military maintenance products. On the finance page, profit and loss reflects the cost of these items as a part of "Total Defense Cost". Since the actual cost is "paid" when the items are purchased by the country, the finance page balances this by including all of the following in the Cash YTD tab.

-"Profit and Loss" which reflects the cost of the item as part of monthly consumption

-"Materials Purchased" which reflects the purchase price of the item when the country actually purchased the products.

-"Materials sold or used by the government" which reflects a credit for the exact same amount as the amount paid in "Profit and Loss" for "Total Defense Cost"

Essentially, "Materials Purchased" is when the actual money is spent. Your country orders the product based on your order

Aries,

Don't underestimate anyone here.
People who are interested in the details, and look at these numbers will figure it out as you did.

The maintenance cost of the weapons in the country includes some materials, maintenance products cost AND the ammunition that is used in maintenance/training.

The function is 100% CORRECT. (Please be careful .....)
I designed this myself, it was tested and calculated many times.

The separation of cash expenditure from the actual cost may be complex to some but it shows the real cost.

Doing it on cash bases will cause very large fluctuations that will be even much harder to understand.

As far as I can see, the entire cost of the army is represented by the cost of defense as reported.

I agree on limitations of war protection on FB but war levels, if serious and a measure for capabilities, offer free gold coins.

Check it again. Ammunition is certainly not included as part of "Total Defense Cost". Check any one of my countries on LU that are out of war protection. You have 9 to choose from. It is obvious.

I have brought math to the forum a number of times. I am not up to it right now, so I will give you two options. Please, check it again, because adding ammunition costs to "Total Defense Cost" is very important for proper reporting, if we plan to get more players involved in the war game. The other option is if I spend the time to bring the data and indeed prove you wrong on this, how about I get compensated? I could always use the coins.

Excuse me Aries but you are spreading false information!

Ammunition is calculated in the maintenance cost of each and every weapons and the cost is part of what is shown as the cost of defense.

I appreciate your knowledge but believe me, I know the code, I designed the function. and it is 100% included.

There is a fraction of a piece of ammunition, that is used per year, for every weapon you have.

You should stop this discussion as it is baseless.
You knowledge is great but you statement on this is false.

The cost is far too high to ignore.

We did it when ammunition corporations were closing because of low interest.

we have replaced the cost of some materials by inserting the cost of ammunition.
we caused the use of ammunition to increase and created a market for ammunition, leaving the total cost of maintenance unchanged.

This was done at least 5 years ago, before th

Gosh darnit. I will open a notepad and get started. I will admit if I am wrong, but I expect some gold coin payment if I can clearly show you are wrong!

Start here. Where am I wrong? It appears that gasoline and electricity are shared by military and other use, so it is difficult to determine the price amount on our financial page going to military. Does this not make up the amount I cannot account account for in "Total Defense Cost". That country uses a heck of a lot of monthly ammo. You still think there is accounting room for that ammo in "Total Defense Cost"?

Your turn!
