Resupply?
« on: May 04, 2011, 09:15:00 AM »
Just been debating. I understood field supplies brought up troops/sups, dar, ords, hangers but not auto guns. A couple players insist it brings up autos ack as well. Anyone know definitively and have a good reference? :headscratch:

Resupply will bring up troops, supplies, radar and auto guns as well as manned guns. However the hangars stay down for a set time. (15 Minutes)

Thank you R 105 but I'm interested in a credible HTC source please, not another "this is my ernest but unsubstantiated belief". I haven't been able to find a reference on the site, wiki or links.

Kind of on topic because it involves resupply of a vehicle, not a base.  In order to load the supplies you have to move the mouse to the top left corner of the screen and click on the load button.  Now with the mouse if you have your sights on an enemy tank, and you forget to pull up the clipboard so you get your mouse pointer, you find yourself slewing the turret wildly out of control.  Probably to the great amusement of the gv you were lined up on as he blows you away.  So, is there a shortcut key I have overlooked to pick up gv supplies ?  Or, do I have to remember in the heat of a gv fight that I have to bring the clipboard up ?.

You hit the enter/return key to pick up supplies.

Be sure you read closely.  The "2 hours" the radar, ords, barracks, fuel, and auto ack are down... really isnt.   ;)

All hangers are down 15 minutes regardless.  All town buildings are down 45 minutes regardless.

The 2 hours is the maximum, theoretical downtime if there is no resupply at all, not by players, not automatic (by either keeping the factories on 0% or by destroying all road convoys).
It used to happen quite often under the old zone system, which frequently left single bases totally cut off from the supply routes. But with the zone system gone, it hardly happens anymore.

Thanks I did not know that. That's what happens when you get device dependant like mice and JS and forget the keyboard is there.  Now I can resup, fix my turret and stop providing yucks for nme gv's.  Thanx again.
