Which one do you choose when playing?

I'm more of a free market guy myself, I just love the 40% discount on both the production time and cost. Handy if you want your army quick and cheap...

Free market. Better upgrading, faster construction. And the smaller TC compared to CP does not hurt too much with more rounds of factory builds. And ideologically nothing beats free market... :cool:

large army that needs upgrades -> free

No, large upgrade army's needs upgrades ;)
Sometimes as USSR for eg. is it better to build more units instead.
And as a small country it may give you exta tec. teams with extra IC too.

But units are cheaper with free. And techteams depend on base IC

Tech team slots depend on base IC, not modified IC, so central planning won't give you additional slots.

Free Market for me, btw.

Yes but I get more IC instead, and AA, Nuk.r. etc aren't.
But I'm too tired for this, I'll end up as a big joke if I don't sleep now. :eek:o

AI USA with FM will always get higher base IC than AI USSR's effective IC with CP.
AI USA with FM will usually get higher base IC than Human USSR's effective IC with CP.
AI USA with FM will usually get higher base IC than Human GER's effective IC with CP.
AI GER does not survive against AI USSR.

Assuming, of course, one plays with AI settings that allow the AI to build more IC after 1935.
