Not unfair, just a static view of the world.  If all your
vehicles have superior fire control that means you are
bleeding edge and some should have better than superior.
When the new thing comes along nobody can afford to scrap
all the old and instantly replace the new.  If all the
force is Superior then it has been out for a considerable time
and you should be starting on ultra-mines-better-than-
yours.

The other problem is the military is change resistant top 
to bottom.  Would you want to be thrown into a combat 
situation with the brand new uber rifle that had never been 
combat tested?	I personally wouldn't want to be the general
sending my men out with the "works great in field trials"
rifle.
