Rheinland are strongest one on one, Liberty has large numbers. Someone explained to me that they may reason like US/UK during WW2 that many small, cheap ships (or tanks) are better than few large and expensive.

SSouds like the COrsairs vs the Red Hessians...
Corsairs have the tough Titans with Veteran pilots and the Red Hessians have numbers....

The Liberty is actually par to Kusari.

Defenders are of course not as good as Dragons, but for the cost of one Dragon (something 80k) you can get seven Defenders.

Considering that the Navy would in a real war situation use the better Defenders (the ones Juni flies) they can mount Class 6 equipment, and those Vengeance IIIs and Magma Hammer MK IIIs could stand against the Kusari.

The Rheinland is superior to all the other houses though, but nothing can stop the power of the GMG!

Hell, if they wanted they could send just a few Eagles to Liberty and Bretonnia, a bit more to Kusari and about 6 to Rheinland and they could dominate all the houses.

I wonder why they haven't done that yet...

actually the GMG are the most powerful, i know they arent a house or whatever..BUT they control the sources of h-fuel

you guys dont get it. liberty is where you start. it woudent be much fun if you
got the best weapons in the first mission.the creators think rhinland is the last place youll be so they put the best weapons there.
it would also be dum if you were stuck with the same crappy wepons and ship for half the game because you cant afford anything

Liberty weak?!!!!

What about the urm..."Experimental Cloaking Battlecruiser" that saves your ass twice in the SP? (The Osiris that is...)
