Best Country Bonus

[Dr BoneCrusher]

If You Where To Start All Over What Country Would You Be? I Started With USA Then Changed To The UK. I Think UK Unites Are Best With The Bonus.

[War Priest]

I started as USA, later switched to China, then finally settled as the UK once I learned fully what I was doing. I like the UK the most also. Good low casualty units, and it gives me a boost on all my high stat golden sea units.

[JackRakan93]

Although I don't "really" regret my option of picking China, I would definitely switch to the UK if I had the chance to go back in time. China was an excellent option early in the levels because my defense was relatively insurmountable with medics. This allowed me to have a great W-L record.

However, my current active army consists of 68% sea, 25% air, and 7% infantry. I only get a 5.2 attack bonus because I'm China :( Although, it is nice to have the ability to boost my attack by hundreds of points for only $2 mill.

You two speak as if you cannot change your country.

I speak as a broke college student who is hopeful Funzio will one day release just one quality infantry unit that won't die from tripping over his own shoe.

[Dr BoneCrusher]

No Need To Change For Me Spent Months Building A sea Based Army. I Do Like The Air Valor Unites And Have Around 600 Amphibious Troopers, But The Sea Unites With The Bonus Plus The Low Rate Of Losses Out Weight The Others.

Either Russia or UK. Right now im UK.

[War Priest]

I understand. You two just stated "if" you could change, so wasn't for sure if you knew you could or not.

Would Like To Hear From A Quant On What One Is Statistically Better

[JMC]

I started out using stealth frigates, transports and frigates. So UK was best for me all until i started getting super hornets and surveillance stealth drones. Right now, i think being Russia would boost my stats more than UK would. Surveillance stealth drones also have a 'very low' casualty rate, so that's good for me.

[Tim @ MW]

Did a quick calculation, a large percentage of my attack score comes from Air units, with Sea units follow. On defense it is more evenly spreaded with Medic/Ambulances balancing out Hornets/Frigates. If doing over I would choose Russia or UK.

I wish Funzio add better attacking Infantry and Ground units to balance out the choice.

Same here. I have found that I can only carry one of each advanced infantry unit (biotroop, chem spec, commando, etc.) without having to worry about a casualty for some 50+ battles, which puts a damper on my country bonus. Ironically, every time I purchase one advanced ground unit (stryker or rapid-fire), it dies within 15 or so battles. This makes me think that Germany may be the third worst county bonus.

Hmm, I play Germany and most of my casualties are usually Bradleys or Armed Observation Vehicles. I´ve got many of more advanced units too but rarely lose them.

Which advanced ground units do you find have the best casualty rate? I'll try to give them another chance but it's uncanny that my useable army dwindled down to 0% ground units.

[nighthunter]

It really depend on if "very low" really mean very low....if you are going to lose units no matter what, then I think buying cheaper units should be the way to go, unless, of course, build a fully gold army.

[JackoV]

I think Russia gives best stat bonus..

Super hornets + Stealth Drone = coolio. (like JMC said)
The way I see it.....
Russia = Offence
UK = Defence

(looking endgame)

Russia / Air
Stealth bomber = 50A + 10% = 55A

UK / Sea
Aircraft Carrier = 46D + 10% = 51D

If you are NOT a gold buyer..
Highest possible Attack will be:
without boosts
2000x50A = 100k Attack

With boosts
If you go Russia (10% boost) + hangar (20% boost) = 30% boost
so maximum attack = 100k + 30% = 130k MAX MAX


Highest possible Defence will be:
without boosts
2000x46D = 92k Defence.

With boosts
If you go UK (=10% boost) + (20% defence building) = 30% boost
(92k * 1,3 = 119,6k = WRONG) (I think :P)

This is different math..
First 92k + 10% = 101.2k Defence (without defence building)
With defence building.... ->101.2k + 20% = 121.44k Defence = MAX MAX



sooo,,,,....... why is Russia better? (ignore casualty rate LoL)
130k > 121.44k



The costs going for ultimate...
2000x3,6mil + 2000x5,4mil = 36.000.000.000$ x_x

or the ''cheaper'' more balanced way = Play as UK
get 2000 Railgun Destroyers = 2000x8mil = 16.000.000.000$

Sooooo if you look to all the aspects.. I change my opinion..
UK>RU (cost/effective)

[Agent Orange]

I agree, I think for offense Russia. Thanks for working that out btw that's very interesting.

I'm still playing as the UK because that's how I started and I'm a free player but I think if I get another ios device I might try Russia for an new LLP.
