Build and Conquer Troop Comparison

Last updated 2026-10-10Unofficial player article

Compare the demonstrated ground force, its spacing and target choices, and a purposeful setup for a missile-quest objective.


For a Build and Conquer missile-quest objective, compare troops as parts of a combined ground force rather than as isolated rankings. HIMARS and tanks are used together in the demonstrated task. The practical choice is whether your force has a clear ground-combat goal and a deliberate approach to positioning.

This video shows the combination during missile-unlock progression.

Compare the force around its objective

The demonstrated task is attacking enemy ground units for missile-quest progress. Start the comparison there. A force assembled for that purpose should be judged by how clearly it supports the task, not by an assumed universal best-unit label.

My recommendation is to keep the combined setup as the reference point for this objective. It gives both options a place in the plan and makes target selection part of the comparison.

Spacing and target choice matter to the comparison

The force is spread out, and enemy movement helps identify a ground target. Those actions give the setup a practical context. A tightly grouped force attacking without a relevant objective is a different plan from the deliberate quest-focused approach.

For this task, prioritize enemy ground units rather than diverting into unrelated fights. Keep the target and the desired progression result connected. The setup's useful lesson is the combination and the behavior around it, not an invented difference in cost or damage.

Choose a setup you can use purposefully

If your goal is this missile-quest task, my preference is the combined HIMARS-and-tanks plan. If your goal is a different campaign, choose that campaign's purpose before carrying the same recommendation across automatically.

For equipment-focused planning, continue to the vehicle comparison. For the editorial priority placement of these options, read the troop tier list. Keep the comparison attached to a specific objective and a way of using the force, rather than turning the names alone into a universal combat ranking.
