Rewording
The part about needing a level 9 silo full of IBMs to blast through a level 4 silo full of ABMs is a bit misleading. All you really need is 9 total levels of silo full of IBMs. That could be one lvl 9, 9 level 1s, or a 5 and two 2s. It doesn't matter, so long as you have at least 41 missiles. (Coincidentally, 9 level 1 silos is insignificantly more expensive than a single level 4 silo.) I just can't think of a good way to word it right now. Unless, of course, I'm completely misunderstanding how IPMs work, and you can't launch then from multiple planets. But that would be silly. --Rob 14:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Is it possible to launch IBMs from multiple planets against 1 target simultaneously?
Another problem with this section is that there is an assumption that the level 4 missile silos on the defending planet would be full of ABMs. They could be full of IBMs meaning that it would take 1 IBM to get through. Another possibility is that it could have 30 ABMs and 5 IBMs meaning it would take 31 IBMs or level 7 missile silo. Then again if the missile silo level is 0, then it would take ONE (1) IBM to destroy the planet's defenses.
