American (Civ3)

The Americans are Expansionist and Industrious. They start the game with Pottery and Masonry and build F-15s instead of normal Jet Fighters.
== Civilopedia entry ==
== Unique Unit: F-15 ==
The F-15 is an upgraded version of the standard Jet Fighter. Both require oil and aluminum to build, but the F-15 has a more powerful bombard strength and twice the rate of fire, making it a much more powerful unit for bombing runs. It also has better abilities including earlier access to Precision Strikes and Lethal Land Bombardment.
