NEVER BUILD THESE UNITS in Supremacy WW3

Summary

The video argues that several units in Conflict of Nations offer poor value for their cost and can weaken a player’s economy or combat effectiveness.

• Nuclear and chemical warheads: Expensive to research and produce, and vulnerable to Theater Missile Defense. Their use can kill civilians, damage morale, trigger insurgencies, and reduce homeland production. For missile attacks, the video recommends conventional warheads or cruise missiles. For ground damage, it suggests multiple rocket launchers (MRLs).
• Tanks: Described as costly, slow, and vulnerable to aircraft and MRLs. The video favors gunship helicopters, strike fighters, and MRLs as more efficient core forces. Tanks may still be useful late in the game against heavily protected stacks that are difficult to attack from the air.
• Heavy bombers: Considered expensive, slow, and easy to counter. They require air superiority—or costly research into stealth—to be effective. The video recommends building strike fighters or gunship helicopters instead.
• Anti-tank units: Presented as expensive and generally outclassed, though potentially useful in specific defensive terrain. To counter enemy tanks, the video recommends attack helicopters or strike fighters.
• Aircraft carriers: Considered expensive, poorly defended, and dependent on protection. The video argues that aircraft can be vulnerable in naval combat, especially against frigates. It recommends investing in cruisers and attack submarines instead. Elite frigates are suggested for players who want ships that can carry helicopters.
• Corvettes: Described as a weak beginner choice, with limited range, low damage, and poor performance against other naval units. For coastal defense, the video recommends naval patrol units.

Overall, the advice is to avoid making these units the core of a build and instead choose more cost-effective alternatives suited to the situation.
