Having taken advantage of the opportunity and made the jump up to a Q5 weapons company,..I must say that after doing a touch of testing the tank does not appear to make too terribly much of a difference in firepower,..I am even almost tempted to actually do the math and figure out which of all the weapons comes out as the most advantageous when economics are taken into the equation,..unless of course there is an eager beaver out there who is willing to figure it out for the fun of it,..crowd sourcing aside,..I am thankful that I can now fight to the best of my ability for eCanada ! If you have read this far and have decided to become a new subscriber,.please leave a comment and I will try to send you one of our new tanks to take for a spin,.tank you ! Thank God there still remains a weapon much more powerful than any tank,..the Human Spirit !

I haven't verified it, but each weapon level seems to have a 10% impact on influence, in that a Q4 weapon does 10% less influence than a Q5 one.
Q5 weapons also have 5 usages as opposed to 4 for a Q4 one, so per use, a Q4 weapon is ~7.80 per use, and a Q5 weapon is ~7.90 at current market prices. It seems like a good deal to me 🙂
I also have Q5 tanks available via donation in lots of 10 for 35CAD each (or 7/use), making tanks a great deal. Donate to receive!
that picture from Tiananmen square does make you think about the human spirit. A human made a difference by standing in front of tanks. Tank drivers made a difference by not running him over. Humans. Making decisions.
Congrats and i wish you joy of your factory
Each weapon level bumps up your damage by 20% and not 10% as Archean said. Hence, a Q5 weapon does 100% (or double) more than you would do bare-handed.
Frankly speaking, I dunno why people buy or why there is market for lower Q weapons. I did the economic calculations once and haven't ever looked back.
The math is like that:
To fight bare-handed for five (5) fights the cost is only the cost of food, 16.25 CAD at current best food price (Q1).
To fight with any weapon for five (5) fights costs roughly 39-40 CAD more (depending on the weapon and market prices), because lower quality weapons do not last as long as higher quality weapons (Q1 weapons only last for one fight only while Q5 weapons last for 5 fights).
The influence of fighting with weapons is +20% for each rank of quality, so that if your influence bare-handed would be 100, then with Q1 it would be 120, until 200 with Q5.
So, with this data one can calculate that it is most economical to fight bare-handed - the cost of influence is the lowest. But as gathering influence increases your strength it is desirable to get more influence done. With this data it can be calculated that the most economical power booster is the tank (Q5 weapon) as it gives you double the influence for only 72% higher cost than fighting bare-handed. All other weapons cost more to achieve the same influence, with increasing the cost as you go down in weapon quality.

yeah if your broke its best to work on food fights first (ie make sure you always have food when you log in to heal with) then once your well fed work on the weapons side of things to enhance what you've built up.
- Fighting bare-handed : the most bang for the buck
- Fighting with Q5 Weapons : for a given amount of CAD to be spent in guns, you can get about 50% of the damage that you can get with food
- Fighting with Q1-Q4 Weapons stupid. Let them to the market bot!
😁^I don't see anything wrong with fighting with Q2/1 weapons. If you have it, why not use it? I mean, if you have a weapons factory and, say an aluminum plant, and your getting the weapons for free, I don't see why you shouldn't use it.
you would be better off selling the low Q weapons on the market and buying Q5 weapons instead to get more influence
it would still be "free" as you put it (although technically you lost health to produce them so they cost you something)
OR selling the low Q weapons and saving the cash for further expansion of your business empire while continuing to fight as many times as possible with just food!
Wow,.thank you all so much for your input ! I am loving the tanks,.and like mentioned above,.I may not look back ,.lol !
