I'm talking in the context of attacking a clan that has decent-to-good retalling capabilities. Having 3m turrets isn't going to work in week 3 of the reset, you want to buy to 8m-10m turrets to have a good chance to bounce retals. At this stage, you only have 2m jets maybe, and you might have made 4 PSes that are 500k jets each on clans that are only able to retal with maybe 4m jets max at that time.
"A reasonable grabber will have more jets than turrets"
This isn't necessarily true. If you run such a country, you run the risk of being land-traded unwillingly.
