This also decreases effectivness as 2 fleets of 3 battleships is much more efficient in destroying multiple threats.

A fleet can only attack 1 enemy at a time and if more than 1 enemy attacks a fleet, you have to choose between threat A and threat B. True but it decreases flexability and effectivness. Traffic thought that having a fleet of 6 battleships would be incredible strong and offensive. I like to keep my airbases near the coast of my country to maxamise their offensive capabilities.ġ. They can also act as your fast reaction force to sub launches or backup for your main fleet. Airbases are like radar stations in a sense, the closer you keep them to your silos the safer they are but the range of their aircraft are reduced. So there's a payoff with radar placement, preferably place some close to the silos to extend your silos anti-air reach and some near your borders so that you can hopefully see your enemies ground units.ģ. Grouping radar stations closet to the silos keeps them secure but decreases the radar coverage of your country. While Traffic's radar stations does cover the entire country it leaves them isolated and vunerable. Also grouping you silos make synching attacks much easier.Ģ. If we group our silos together it makes them harder to destroy as the combined defense of all 6 silos is enough to deter an attacker. So how do we solve this ? By grouping our silos. It would only take about 5 nukes to destroy a lone silo, which wastes you 10 nukes. Leaving a silo alone may seem sneaky or a excellent stratgy but its plainly an invite for attack. Notice how Traffic's silos are spread out, all alone on the coast of South America. This may seem completely normal or a horrible, horrible strategy. He then places his ships around his nation forming a barricade. He sets up his radar stations across his country, so that it covers his entire territory, adds the silos, airbases and is finished with his ground deployment. Traffic here played a few rounds of AI defcon and played the turtorial so he knows how to *play* the game. So you joined a game and started with a country.
