the artillery paradox

[unmerged(6909)]

in earlier threads i saw that only the sold goods on WM earn money, so a negative profit means your people are failing to give it added value,

they make money from selling money but the nation is loosing money because you'd better sold that steel and explosives on the world market instead of that artillery and the added value created is too small giving all boundary conditions,

so I can't agree with your statements. I do agree that sell the artillery on the world market isn't unprofitable as such, but you are loosing money by making it,

I wasn't talking about SELLING artie, I wrote about when you want to have artillary for your own military.
It's more profitable to produce it on your own instead of selling steel+explsives and buying artillary.
This was my point when talking about the game-term 'profit' which is misleading when you're the user of the products

I guess you are right, the only reason it could be false is when the tax over the sold steel and explosives outweighs the costprice of an artillery,

and you also have the effect that your people are earning less money,

but I guess you are right,
