Question to field depots
« on: March 24, 2002, 07:08:48 AM »
with 1.09 every field got those neat field depots, where the truck convoys respawn every 10 minutes.

Does it have any effect on the convoys, if you destroy these depots?

I flattened one of these depots, but a convoy did respawn.  

I read, that if a factory is flattened, some of the trucks will be empty, when they respawn.
So could it be, that a convoy is without load, when they spawn from a destroyed depot???

They have no effect on game play.

So destroying the little mini depots does nothing.  How about killing the trucks?

Myelo and I had a blast the other day killing the little truck drivers while we were trying to capture A43 (I think) in the Baltic terrain.  I dropped a thousand pounder on the little convoy and blew 4 of them suckers away.  Then on a later sortie, I fired 4 Tiffy rockets at it and got all 8 trucks.  Much better than trying to kill that damn train....at least these dont shoot back.  :)

Killing these trucks convoy is vital for capturing  a field.

I saw several times, how a save field capture got lost, cause nobody took care of these convoys.

For every truck in the convoy you take out, it increases the down time of the airfield by 30 minutes.

So ... if I kill all trucks in 1 convoy, that increases downtime 4 hours????  when its already at 2 hours..?

SUPERFLY... you sure?
