strat resupply
« on: January 22, 2014, 02:28:37 PM »
Do I have this right? Field supplies dropped from the air shorten down time on all down objects within range. Supplies dropped in the center of the strat are within range of all objects at that strat. It would require the same number of supply drops to bring a strat fully up from having one object down or several assuming they all went down at the same time.

One should wait until a bomber finishes its passes before dropping supplies.

Yes.

Yes, if you see one overhead while you are on your way with supplies, I would wait that minute until he has dropped his bombs.

Just remember the supplies you drop reduce the down TIME, not the percentage of damage. :aok
