Mayday Mayday tech error

@MEGAEINSTEIN:

developing jetfighters brings an error:

• makes the fighters always in all circunstancies better and cheaper than tactical bombers, so you buy no more tactical bombers.

this was not suposed to hapen

The Dems are in power, so it doesn’t matter, but them anyway!

The dems are in power? What does that mean? And didn’t the republicans just win a landslide election…

so you have a 1:36 chance of this happening for every $5 you spend…not a big deal.

@MEGAEINSTEIN:

MaherC your Math sucks. If you chose chart ii you have 1:6 chance, not 1:36

But you have a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a 6

@MEGAEINSTEIN:

well actually if you chose all the time chart 2 then you have a chance of getting jetfigthers in the :

1st development:   1:36
2nd dev: 1:30
3rd dev: 1:24
4th dev: 1:18
5th dev.: 1:12
6th dev.: 1:6

for each 5 ipc spent.

So if during the game you get 4 developments, you have 1/36+1/30+1/24+1/18 chance of getting jetfighters

And the likelihood you get 4 developments in a row is 1:1296

In the end, you spend a lot more money on the tech than you’ll save at 2 bucks per fighter over tactical bomber.

Let’s assume that Japan is making 40 ipc’s at this point in a hypothetical game. They got jet fighters last turn, their first try at tech. They buy 2 fighters this turn. Their net gain is -3 ipc’s, because they get two 4 attackers with 2 fighters instead of 1 tactical and 1 fighter. So they spent 5 to get the tech, and saved 2 by getting another fighter instead of a tac.

So even assuming they get 2 fighters every turn, it takes them 3 turns to actually benefit from that economically. Your point isn’t all that big of a deal, because you need to buy A TON of planes for it to make a difference that you don’t need tacs for the 4 attack.

You forgot to count in all the existing fighters (in japan’s case this would make a huge difference, as they already have a ton of planes!)

Also, fighters defend better then tacs, so there is an extra benefit (save 1 IPC and have 1 defence point extra. And a 4 attack even when going solo)

It’s historically accurate.

I’m pretty sure they stopped making dive-bombers when they figured out how to make a jet-fighter.

Yes, jet fighters makes tacs obsolete. Isn’t that a good thing finally?

Seems perfectly reasonable to me the way it is.  If you’re going for tech AND you happen to get Jet Fighers, you don’t need Tac’s any more … so what?  The chances are slim that it will happen, and at great expense typically.  And if you have jets you wouldnt need the Tac’s any more anyway.

That’s the advantage of technological advancement.  They make old tech obsolete.

I think that technology should make certain units obsolete.  This is the way it happens.

Maybe we should just go old school
Jet fighters –> fighter defend at 5

Japan = unstoppable (see above) :-D

Tacticals are too expensive, even without jet fig tech. Tacticals should move 5 or make SBRs with 1d3 or something, because for defense figs are better, and for range/attack, strats are better

@Funcioneta:

But tacs can go on carriers, which bombers cant
