Is Mechanized Infantry really an upgrade?

[DeletedUser2752]

Just won two mechanized infantry and noticed their stats:

Unit	Mechanized Infantry	Armored Car	Comments
Attack	50	45	11.11% improvement. Not too shabby
Defense	60	50	You think this is an upgrade, but wait until we get to the bottom
Range	9	9	No Change
Movement	26	26	No Change
Attack/Defense Bonus (Against Ranged Unit)	20	25	-5? Why?
Terrain Bonus	0	15 (on plains)	This bonus is almost a automatic gimme
Total Defense	60	65	-7.692% Change

So this unit is a little better with its previous' age processor until we meet any ranged unit: then it becomes worse than it. Now I will comparing it with a 150% boost, the Mech Infantry total performance increases by about 13.09% (I still believe that's the lowest out of the 5)

take an example:

you have full 150% bonus while attacked.
Mechanized Infantry defense: 60*2,5+0= 150
Armored Car defense 50*2,5+15= 140
Means that ME unit defense is better.

on 50% bonus:
Mechanized Infantry defense: 60*1,5+0= 90
Armored Car defense: 50*1,5+15= 90
Means that they defense are equal.

What about a 0% bonus? Not everyone wants a military GB, and stats should reflect both nonGB and GB boosts as best as they can.

EDIT: updated the OP

and stats should reflect both nonGB and GB boosts as best as they can.

Why should stats do that?

Because I rather save space/population/money/time by putting a Armored Car in defense/attack if I have no boosts at all rather than a Mech Infantry. (Of course with these poor stats, I don't see I would do it with any of them )
