damage/time

[icepac]

I am curious if anybody knows the time factor for damaging an object.

If I bomb HQ and only 36 x 1000 hit it, how long until that 36 x 1000 worth of damage is no longer applied to said object where a follow up 1000 pound bomb will fail to finish off the HQ?

not sure about that on.   I'm guessing the "softness effect" lasts for 15 minutes or for as long as the down time for the object is. The clock starts when the object is hit for the first time. And another clock starts when it goes down completely. Both timers are probably equal in time.

Just a guess though.In the old strat system, the times could be extended depending on percentage status of the corresponding factory. I don't believe that is the case now though from what I understand.

with HQ i know if you fly or drive supplies to it will resupply it and bring the country radar back up, I've done this on several occasions

The question should apply to any destroyable object.

OK I think I know where you're going with this now. You want to keep dropping small amounts of ord on HQ to keep the lights out. My tinfoil hat is telling me you're up to something evil.

i think objects like buildings/ack stay down for 45 min.  hq is down for normally around 5 minutes because 99.99% of the time an endless supply of c47's will up.  otherwise it's 45 minutes I think.

hangars are down for 15 min.  strats objects are down for 45 min.  ord bunkers used to be down for 4 hours then changed to 2 I believe, i cant find the table in the help section anymore. but you can shorten the time 15 min for each m3/goon resupply.  dar is down for 45 minutes.

Please read the original post carefully.

Almost every single responder has missed the question.

My question applies to objects that have been damaged but not enough to destroy them and how much time must transpire before the previous damage is not counted.

This is a good question and one that I believe can only be answered by the designers.  How long does the entire weight of the damage last on an object?

a.  Does its entire weight remain for the duration of the downtime

b.  Does all damage weight disappear at a particular duration of time

c.  Does the weight of damage done on an object lessen over time (2,000 lbs > 5 mins.> 1,000 lbs > 10 mins. 0 lbs damage left) 

Which is it?

Or maybe by someone with enough motivation to run tests offline  or in a custom arena.

repair rate = ^{(total damage required to kill object)}/_(downtime) would make sense.

anecdotally it works this way with CVs, they seem to repair at ~8000lb/60min.

[hitech]

Objects do not repair slowly but rather if they have not been killed or damaged further with in 1/2 the full down time of the object type,
they are then fully restored.

Ships work slightly differently in that the ship is fully restored after 1/2 its re-spawn time.

Is that restoration time affected by resupply?

Thank you hitech.

excellent info thx
