Re: Unit Cost
As Griefbringer says the cost is a rough representation of the units combat capability so the level of training is an important factor.
If it was based on cost even taking training costs into account a normal squad is chump change compared to say modern MBT or SAM systems that can cost US$5 & 15million respectivly. Thats without taking the cost of ammo into account.
War is a very expensive game half a mill for a missile is not uncommon & some cost more. If you factored in R&D costs to the money is stagering which is probably why the cold war ended.
