Vehicle Perk Points for Re-supply

[badhorse]

Two examples
First radar was down at a Vbase. I went to an adjacent base, upped an M3 with field supplies and drove to the Vbase. I stopped on a road on the Vbase, opened the door and released the supplies.
Second, radar and ords were down at a small airfield. I again went to an adjacent base, upped an M3 with field supplies and drove to the base. I parked on the concrete in a hanger, opened the door and released the supplies.
In neither case was I given any perk points. The radar and ords were still down when I landed (successful landing both times).
So my question. Are vehicle perks no longer given for resupply?
thanks

Did you get the message...say, 3 ojects at field xx resuplied 10 min blah? Had some funky stuff going on today. Hit several planes and no assist or kills awarded. Was happening to several folk tonight.

I always wait for the message that I have resupplied so many objects and then I tower.  It takes a second or two after you drop the supply box for it to give you the message.  And yes, you still get perks when you resupply if it is done successfully.  You might not be waiting long enough after you drop them.

No. The only messages I got were successful landings.

No. The only messages I got were successful landings.

Then nothing was supplied, and no perks were given.

Are you sure you opened the door and made sure they were dropped? That could of been the issue also.

yep......don't tower until the message on how many objects were supplied.
To get 3.75 perks go resupply a town that has been really hit.
again.....do not tower until you see how many objects were resupplied.
you do not have to be on base or in the town.....just get close is all ya need.

How close?  Base?  Town?

2 k, from flag-town I usually pull on to base though. Usually not in as much of a hurry as When its town resup

Is 2K the game defined distance or a WAG?

Not sure what "WAG" is. Game defined, not sure where to find it. It does work though. Player ICON at flag, 3k icon you might get 1/3 town resupped....2.0Icon, all of town resupped. Same with Troops. They will run alot further than in AH2. Never really get to run them way outside of town though.Its easy to test for the distances,Off and ON line. Its hard to get folk to do it, BUT dropping troops from altitude also works. I have done it at 8k. They fall at around 1k per min, which gives around 7 min for running time. If I understand it correctly, TROOPS are live for half the downtime of maproom(30min DT= 15 min troop drop/run to map room)? I tested it some time ago,but like I said NOONE really does it and they look at you like you are an idiot when its brought up

Is still 1 mile.  Also remember that is 1 mile to each [object]

A box of base supplies will re-supply all buildings within a mile. 

See this link and check the section on supply drops:

Also, see this thread, where Hitech confirms that it is a mile:

Thanks for the replies gents!  Wasn’t disputing anyone.  Just wanted to know what the game specified.

An acronym known by one who has been there done that.
