Yes but those troops are for feild defence. Not offencive actions as well as for general feild operations. repair and Maintaiing of aircraft loading ordinance cleaning the latrines etc.
In order to conduct offencive operations you need troops for both feild defence and general operations AND a surplus to use for offence.
I am against anything that will benifit the hordewarriors be they my country or anyone elses. And making troops harder to destroy does exactly that.
Even destroying Barracks doesnt always worked because I've personally witnessed on more then one occasion, people dedicated enough to fly in goons (often several at a time) from 2-3 bases back during a hordefest.
Though Im not in love with the idea
I could buy into the "more goons/m3s needed" idea if they doubled with each barracks that was down.
Kill one barracks you need two goons/m3s Kill two barracks you need 4.
A better solution might be IMO to leave it as it is now but be able to choose what kind of resupply you bring in to a feild instead of just "Feild supplies"
Make the choices be say
Feild supplies - Supplies a little bit of everything as it does now.
the individual supplies
Building material -rebuilds things like VH FH's BH's Tower & makes them come up faster
Ammo - Resupplies ammo & feild ack (Say 1 feild ack per M3)
Fuel - Fuel
Troops- Troops
Have it so when delivering "Feild Suplies" everything re-up as the same rate it currently does with resupply
But when you resupply with specific supplies it should increase the speed at which things re-up 25% faster per M3/Goon then with just "Feild Supplies"
As it stands now. Few people bother to do supply runs because unless you have a chitload of people doing it with you it takes too many trips and takes too long to bring anything back up to be worthwhile.
With the way I am suggesting above 1 or two people can resupply whats needed at the moment on relitively short order.
also might not be a bad idea to increase the perks awarded for resupply so as to sweeten the pot a bit
