After going through so many threads I am still confused whether the defense buildings really help or they are useless.
If defense buildings help us-
1. Do they protect us when someone attacks us or when someone robs us?
Or they help in both?
2. How effective they are as compared to our defense weapons and defense skill points?
If they're useless -
1. Then why they are in the game?
Why Gree can't shift them to the 'Decoration' section of the game?

They protect to some degree against robbing.
They are becoming more and more useless with stat inflation.
I think I can understand why your confused. All your intel reports are falsified, and were planted their, by the "Allies"! Just cause your hood, is filled with "Hitler's Bunker" buildings, means you don't stand a chance!Originally Posted by kashishk
Your bunkers have been bombed to death, and have been reduced to rubble-
1. Results in all your henchman, turning tail, and fleeing for other hoods!
2. They are just as effective as your defense weapons and skill points. Problem is, your weapons are small pistols, with a single round, and are for self termination. Your skill points, are actually cyanide capsules, and therefore have no chance of being victorious when attacked/robbed.
They are useless for you-
1. I'm pretty sure thats not the only thing you asked gree to put in the "Decorations" section, so I'm glad they don't listen.
On another note, this game isn't called "Prison City", and if that's your idea, of playing a character role, it's in bad taste, and you should be banned for your stupidity! And I don't need to be told that your symbols true meaning is something else, we all know what it stands for!
the title made me chuckle .. but i also felt that the title was incomplete, lemme complete it ..
Defense buildings .. are crap!
A hood filled with 50 level 10 missile turrets, 50 level 10 gatling turrets, and 50 level 10 of every other miscellaneous defense building is the sign of a truly skillful and dedicated player (and not to mention 100% legitimate). If you check their profile, you will notice they have a very high defense stat, which is completely untouchable by anyone with a lower attack stat, so you shouldn't bother trying.
i think the most you can have is 40 of each building .. but yeah, there is no use of upgrading them to level 10 unless you have nothing else to upgrade .. the best you should do is upgrade them to level 2 and build more .. there's a lot of confusion over their "real defense" scores ..
It's 50. I'm one of those sillies who has 50 gatling turrets...
I just avoid them. I'm pretty much untouchable at my level, anyway.

it's not a mistake to build defense buildings. it is a mistake to build them at the expense of of income buildings. I purchase defense buildings while saving for high price buildings such as the casino or night club.
it is also a mistake to upgrade defense buildings. I have almost 100 level 1 turrets and they seem to aid me in fights as my listed defense is about 1K below my true defense.
and we were debating over max builds 40 or 50
Obviously he's referring to machine gun and gatling turrets combined. Max build is 50and we were debating over max builds 40 or 50

I would like to rob you to see this! I have never found 1 listed defense lower than true defense, I sold all my buildings i upgraded past 3 on lower levels as they inflated my defense number and gave a false sense of security, since doing that i have lost very few robberies and attacks i get hit with, maybe this will help Note the effective d!!!!!!!! http://crimecityios.wikia.com/wiki/Defense_Buildings This is my reason not to go past level 2 or 3

Sorry for the confusion :-)
I was surprised as well. I had Senator McCarthy attack me and he gave me my true defense. It was about 1K higher than what is shown on my profile. I have no explanation other than maybe a rounding glitch with all of the syndicate/personal modifiers.
I have seen that post and that is part of the reason all of my buildings are level 1. I like the turrets because they don't take up much space and allow me plenty of room for income buildings. I don't upgrade them because I am always upgrading an income building and also because of the link that you listed.
No need to rob me....I'm not lying....lol
This was true about a month ago when player's attack and defense bonuses from their Syndicate were not being displayed correctly. Since they "fixed" that I have not seen anyone with a higher def then their profile. I use quite a bit of bullets, but maybe the problem still exists on iOS?
