Hi!

The units are more like classes. In a way the stealth fighter/bomber does
not fit to that scheme. I don't think, that it
would make sense, to add more and more specific units. I would rather let
the units improve with certain technologies.
It is not clear to me, why armors are the same when mobile warfare is
invented to the end of the game. Surely
tanks have not been the same since WW-II, why in Freeciv? Development of
stealth would then simply improve
bombers and fighters.
Additional future techs could improve units and city improvements further.
Development of future techs would
then make sense.

Ciao.
Mathias.
