I think the reason that the MiG and, in lesser extent, the Longbow are not that interesting to build is not because that they are underperforming. But that the Yak and the Hind are just too effective in destroying wood armored buildings. The machine guns are doing almost the same damage as the missiles of the more expensive aircraft (see
here). They do compared to other units with machine guns like the APC, Pillbox, etc. also way more damage vs wood armored buildings.
Maybe the damage vs wood should be reduced a bit, to make the other aircraft more interesting to build. What do you guys think about this?

A second point I like to discuss is: how much shroud is revealed for every unit. There are currently some inconsistencies.
Starting with the buildings:
Revealed. Vs Gap. Offline.
[tab] 3 [tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab]
Biological Lab
[tab] 4 [tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab]
(Adv) Power, Kennel, Silo, Fakes, Hospital, Oil Derrick
[tab] 5 [tab][tab][tab]4[tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab]Forward Command,
(all other buildings)
[tab] 6 [tab][tab][tab]5[tab][tab][tab] 5 [tab][tab]Missile Silo, Iron Curtain, Chronosphere
[tab] 7 [tab][tab][tab]4[tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab]
Airfield
[tab]10[tab][tab][tab]6[tab][tab][tab] 5 [tab][tab]Radar Dome
[tab]10[tab][tab][tab]6[tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab]
Allied Tech Center, Communications Center
Almost all buildings reveals 5 cells of shroud, and when there is a gap generator it drops to 4 cells. I propose the Power Plant, Advanced Power Plant, Airfield and the Allied Tech Center should also reveal 5 cells. The Biological Lab could get an increase of 1 cell, to get in line with the other tech structures.
The defensive buildings:
Revealed. Vs Gap. Offline.
[tab] 6 [tab][tab][tab]5[tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab](Camo) Pillbox, Flame Tower, AA Gun, SAM, Gap Gen
[tab] 7 [tab][tab][tab]5[tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab]Turret
[tab] 8 [tab][tab][tab]6[tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab]Tesla Coil
These look fine to me.
Infantry:
Revealed.
[tab]3[tab][tab]
Medic,
Mechanic, Einstein, Agent Delphi, Chan, General
[tab]4[tab][tab]Rifle, Grenadier, Rocket, Flame, Engineer, Ant, Zombie
[tab]5[tab][tab]Dog, Spy, Thief, Hijacker, Shock
[tab]6[tab][tab]Tanya, Sniper
The Medic and Mechanic could get an increase of 1 cell, bringing it in line with the engineer.
Vehicles:
Revealed. Vs Gap.
[tab] 4 [tab][tab][tab] [tab][tab][tab] MCV, Ore Truck, Supply Truck, Demo Truck
[tab] 5 [tab][tab][tab]4[tab][tab][tab]Light tank, APC, V2, Artillery, Minelayer
[tab] 6 [tab][tab][tab]4[tab][tab][tab]Medium Tank, Heavy Tank, Flak, MGG, Chrono Tank, MAD Tank
[tab] 7 [tab][tab][tab]4[tab][tab][tab]Mammoth Tank, Phase Transport
[tab] 7 [tab][tab][tab]6[tab][tab][tab]Tesla Tank
[tab] 7 [tab][tab][tab]7[tab][tab][tab]MRJ
[tab] 8 [tab][tab][tab]4[tab][tab][tab]Ranger
Only the Tesla Tank is out of line, but I’m not sure if this should be changed.
Ships:
Revealed. Vs Gap.
[tab] 6 [tab][tab][tab]5[tab][tab][tab]Transport,
Destroyer,
Missile Sub
[tab] 7 [tab][tab][tab]5[tab][tab][tab]Gunboat, Cruiser
[tab] 8 [tab][tab][tab]5[tab][tab][tab]Submarine
Here the Destroyer could get an increase of 1 cell to put it in line with the other Allied ships. I think the Missile Sub should also get the same reveal like the Submarine.
I would also like the hear the opinions about this.
