You don't need to rebuild your units or buildings unless you want to actually change your design (eg. replace flamer with inferno, or machinegun with twin machinegun). Upgrades are applied automatically.

If the upgrade produces a new class of weapon, the old one will not be upgraded automatically. A small canon will not be upgraded to a medium canon, a machine gun will not be upgraded to a assault gun and so on. :)

If it isn't a new body, turret or propulsion, you don't have to recycle the tank. Think of those 'mark' upgrades as refitting existing units with the new technology.

There is by the way a good reason to recycle and to build new a tank: If you recycle a tank, his experiences do not get lost and will be fitted with the next new tank you produce. :)

It's not really efficient in multiplayer. You only get a fraction of your money back when recycling. And honestly, there is no much difference between a light and a medium cannon (or any other weapons).

Doesnt worth to recycle until you are many technology ahead.
