It's no use your weapons having a 20:1 kill ratio if they're so expensive that the enemy finds it better/cheaper/easier/faster to throw 21 'good enough' weapons

It's no use your weapons having a 20:1 kill ratio if they're so expensive that the enemy finds it better/cheaper/easier/faster to throw 21 'good enough' weapons at them. The US is falling into the German WW2 trap of having the 'best technological' weapons that are so expensive that only a few can be built. In WW2 both the US and the Soviets swamped the Germans with huge numbers of 'good enough' weapons. Sometimes on the East Front the Germans had a handful of extremely good Tiger tanks which had no hope at all against hundreds of T34s. And the same thing happened in Normandy against the Shermans.
