Why are so many usa players increasing their crusader production late game over paladins?
Cause he bought composite armor upgrade which gives 40% more armor to crusaders. The crusader becomes the best tank in a tank vs tank battle then. As soon as usa has snipers, and that china isn't spamming migs, paladins becomes useless. Moreover, crusaders build faster than paladins and are cheaper.
Yes, like 2-3 seconds faster, I dunno exactly, you do the test with 2 wf's. When you have to spamm tanks non stop like in UvC late game for example, it makes the difference.
