Basic Mecha

The Basic Mech is the standard Mecha Unit that can be built from the Mech Factory. Mechs in general are typically much stronger than tanks that come from the Land Factory, and this can be seen clearly with the Basic Mech, which boasts far greater stats compared to the standard Tank. It's only weaknesses being its higher price and inability to fire on flying targets.

Strategy & Tips
Basic Mechs pack much greater power than the Tank does, which allows these units to be more dangerous individually. When in large numbers, these basic Mechs are capable of taking down tougher opponents which the basic Tank would struggle against, but this is still a basic ground unit, so its not fit to engage units of high tier like the Experimentals.

Because of its higher price to build, spamming this unit is ill-advised without sufficient income to support it.

Advantages

 * Has 290 more HP than the Tank, allowing the Basic Mech to survive fights the former would be unable to escape.
 * Has twice the DPS of the Tank, enabling the Basic Mech to defeat opponents that would otherwise survive and destroy the Tank.

Disadvantages

 * The Basic Mech is slower than the Tank, preventing it from being used as a scout with combat ability. Furthermore, it cannot effectively flee from fights, and must stand its ground.
 * At $600 a pop, the Basic Mech is expensive to produce early on, until you get enough income to sustain them in bulk.
 * Basic Mechs, like the Tank, are only able to fire on ground and naval units. Airborne assaults will leave the Mech all but helpless.
