thanks to third geek i have this

Millerian your millitary budget is $4,073,368,704.60

my budget is $94,669,826,457.60

what you want to get would cost about as much as my budget

ok look at this

if you have

500 M1A2 abroms tanks at 4 million a peace

and

20 F-16 Multi-role fighter at 27 mill a peace

and have 1% of you population in the millitary paying each at $7,000 you have $693,368,705 left to suply your troops with exuiptment and train them

Mationland is bidding for WMA's . We are willing to pay a maximum of 10 billion . Take it or leave it . Send me a telegram to inform me wether you have accepted my generous offer .

The M1A2 costs over $6 million. It's the M1A1 that's $4.3 million. All the high-end western tanks today are $6-8 million each.

That said, I'm calculating what appears to be a 2 million man army here. Considering that that's over 14% of the population, it's almost 3 times what the maximum wartime military should be. Kind of iffy here. I would advise cutting all the bombers and nukes, and a good portion of the fighters, plus some tanks and a good portion of the infantry. These cost a lot to maintain, and oversized armies tend to be underequipped.

OOC: Thank you for some advice...
IC: We have cut down the number of tanks and fighter and bombers. We have taken out WMA fully, but not the artillery and infantry. We need those rifles and artillery.

For your information we are buying not selling.

And for the budget we have the vast riches of Mllia which was crushed and the army is very old we need a new breath

First auction is consisting of only the tanks and will end tomorrow 4:00 GMT.

Thank you and please include your equipments statistics.

based on 2 stor fronts and what someone on this forum told me the M1A2 is betwen 4 and 4.5 million

That's an error that's frequently given. The price of $4.3 million is for the M1A1, and many sources mistakenly give it as being the price of an M1A2, while it most certainly is not. It takes some real research to sift through the bad info sometimes.
There are similar traps on many US ships and aircraft, with prices from decades ago or earlier models being used instead of the real one.

He's attempting to describe laser guided munitions such as Copperhead, I think...
