3 Yeah, I thought someone would say this. The difference is that these two bits of information are mutually reinforcing. 3 Yeah, I thought someone would say this. The difference is that these two bits of information are mutually reinforcing.

11 I think it's much easier to remember 24 prefixes (especially since you have to know all the factories and roles eventually anyways) than purely to remember 150 unit names. 11 I think it's much easier to remember 24 prefixes (especially since you have to know all the factories and roles eventually anyways) than purely to remember 150 unit names.

16 I'm not suggesting that people use the prefixes in conversation or discussion. I'm suggesting that the full prefix+name label be used in official documentation. Wiki, guides, information panels, etc. The internal unit names are even worse as a case of redundancy - they're a long, completely separate set of names that are not used in any guides or discussions at all! 16 I'm not suggesting that people use the prefixes in conversation or discussion.

( jumpsumo? Only TA fans would have a clue, for example. )
