Armor vs. Mech

[canuckgamer]

In builds the write up for armor and mech units is identical. Armor costs more to build so what benefit are you gaining compared to mech? Thanks.

Far more attack value due the extra number of tanks and guns.

Armor has better attack factors. I don't know whether anyone has worked up a comparison relative the slight difference in cost to see which is most cost effective. Although, it appears to me that for just a 60 PP difference you get much more bang for you PP with armor.

Mech does have one advantage. It doesn't take as long to build.

It would be interesting to see a defensive/offensive comparison of the two including taking into account the upgrades (Armor Elite, Mech with Anti-Tank).
