Chapter 43 3-6
"Actually...... Personally, I think that you mainly play air combat, and there is really no need to buy gold land vehicles. Tetsumo expressed his point.
"It's not completely unnecessary." Siyuan began to analyze to him, "I think, first of all, it's really worth it to buy a gold coin vehicle at this discounted price!" Although I really don't buy it, I won't have any actual direct financial loss, but I feel like I've wasted so much money, and I feel like I should make good use of this coupon. ”
"Well...... In any case, this has a certain relationship with the knowledge related to 'sunk costs'. Tetsumao analyzed it seriously.
"Sounds lofty!" Hongkai said confusedly on the side.
"What do you say?" Siyuan was also a little puzzled.
"What's this...... Let's talk about it from an economic point of view. Tetsumao explained on the side.
Tetsumao then said that he had taught himself a little economics during the summer vacation, and then he began to explain in detail about the "sunk cost".
Sunk costs refer to "costs" that have been paid but are not recovered.
These costs, of course, include money, but are not limited to money – things like time or experience are also included in the "costs" referred to here.
The lottery opportunity in the game "Metal Frontline" is obtained through a certain number of task points, and this task points are earned by completing some daily tasks or weekly tasks.
In fact, in essence, this is not very different from playing a game to get a certain amount of game currency, so the points spent on this lottery can also be regarded as the "cost" mentioned here.
The lottery has already had the result and the coupon is obtained, and the coupon cannot be exchanged for the same amount of points spent in the lottery, so the "cost" of "getting the coupon" can be regarded as a sunk cost.
Tetsumo goes on to say that there is a fallacy related to sunk costs – people feel that giving up something because it has no value, but giving up something creates "somehow" waste, so they try to avoid it.
However, in many cases, by avoiding waste, people do not get any real value, and even need to invest more costs, and people themselves do not get much value.
In this way, the "sunk cost fallacy" happens.
It's like wasting the cost of winning coupons in the lottery to prevent the cost of winning coupons from being wasted, and many people choose to use coupons to buy goods that they don't need.
"Forehead......" Han Yin listened to it and said with some vague understanding, "It seems to be ...... It's not entirely unreasonable......"
"Ah...... That's right...... That is, if there is no value and 'avoid waste', then ...... Maybe it really doesn't make sense......" then Siyuan thought for a while, and then said, "Actually...... It's not that it's worthless, it's not, and I'm not completely free from land combat, and when I drew this coupon, I thought about whether a ground vehicle would be a better fit for me as the commander of an entire team. In addition, when you purchase a Gold Vehicle Pack, you will receive some decals specific to flying vehicles, as well as several general-purpose vehicle decals, which is another value. It's a sunk cost, but I don't think it's happening...... Fallacy. ”
"Well, it's a fallacy." Tetsumao corrected, then added, "But that's it...... It's not unreasonable! Then, Zhemao praised again, "Siyuan, you understand it well!" ”
"Oops, I've won prizes. So, in general, I should 'change jobs', and I decided to take command in a land vehicle, so that I can command the entire team behind cover, in a safer place. Siyuan continued, "So, the question now is which vehicle to buy." ”
"Kind of makes sense." Hongkai nodded in agreement, and then, after thinking for a while, he gave a reply, "Personally, I think this heavy tank will be better, there are two large and small guns, and compared to tank destroyers, this gun is still mounted on the turret, and it can shoot in all directions!" ”
"I think, from the perspective of the command vehicle, whether there is a turret or not, I personally think it's not the point." Hanyin said, and then, Hanyin gave his opinion, "As a command vehicle, there should be no need to carry out a 'telescopic gun' attack at the front of the engagement surface, and when encountering danger, there are also escort tanks to counterattack, and the turret is largely convenient for the above two tasks, so I think it should be, or more suitable for buying Tan Annihilation." ”
"From another point of view, command vehicles generally do not need to resist the line." Hanyin made another argument, "So, armor is not exactly a point to consider. As for the firepower, it's not really important, of course, it's good if the firepower is good. Now, there are sufficient conditions to give up some of the advantages of armor and turrets to increase firepower, and it will be better to naturally choose Tan Annihilation! ”
Siyuan listened carefully to his advice.
"However, as for which Tan Jian to buy, I haven't thought about it yet." Hanyin then added.
Then, Tetsumao also said that Tan Zhan might be more suitable.
After thinking for a moment, Zhemao gave further advice: "I personally recommend buying the Tan Zhan with two guns, that is, the one with one cannon on the hull and one on the turret." ”
"The car does look really new and interesting! I don't know if the actual combat effect is good or not. Siyuan said.
Tetsumo began to explain the reason for his suggestion: "The Tan Destroyer had some of the advantages of the other two vehicles at the same time - first, it had a turret, or a real turret with artillery mounted; Second, it has the advantage of "having the same combat effectiveness assessment value and higher firepower" as the kind of frank annihilation. Then, Tetsumao continued to analyze, "Although this vehicle is intended to be used as a command vehicle, it can always provide better protection in an emergency if it has a turret equipped with artillery." ”
"37mm gun...... Siyuan thought for a moment, "how do you say it...... It is almost impossible to penetrate all kinds of ground vehicles with similar combat effectiveness assessments......" Siyuan thought for a moment, and then said, "But ...... It's okay to hit AI units. ”
"Something else!" Hongkai reminded, "There is also a certain difference between that howitzer and a tank gun!" ”
"Okay, there's no need to continue talking on paper, let's take a closer test drive of this vehicle and delve into the characteristics of these cars!" Siyuan suggested.
