I've heard a lot of controversy about resupplying HQ after an attack....That it can only be respplied when fully destroyed, some have said it can be resupplied when partially destroyed. Which is true?

Actually, I meant does player resupply help, as it does with airfields

In my experience, it IS possible to resupply damaged HQs. However, this only works up to a point, after which further resupply attempts have no effect and you have to wait on the trains.

It takes 2 hours for auto-repair to fix a fully dead HQ. Thus, it should take 1.5hrs for auto-repair to fix a damaged HQ that's lost 3 of the 4 functions. However, if you get 4 or 5 guys to do multiple supply runs each, the HQ will be back to normal in 20 minutes or so. So obviously player resupply helps damaged HQs. Reports to the contrary seem to be wrong.

There comes a point, however, when player resupply seems to lose its effectiveness even though the HQ is still damaged. As this point is approached, the perk awards per supply run start to decrease from 3.something to 2.something to 1.something and finally become 0. When this happens, the HQ will still be lacking the nme dar function.

However, resupply still seems to work for part of the time the nme dar function is down. For instance, tonight Rook HQ was short only the nme dar function. Me and a couple of others ran supply runs and got perks for a while, then we all got 0, and the nme dar function stayed down the whole time. It took the arrival of a train to finish fixing HQ.

Anyway, that's what it looks like to me. There are definitely still bugs in HQ resupply, but it's nowhere near as bad as it once was. IMHO, resupplying a damaged HQ is effective, especially if the HQ has lost 2 or 3 functions. But once it's lost only 1, resupply soon quits working.

Thank you bullethead. I've had about the same expierence, which is why i was still confused.

I thought that when we got 1.10, in the readme.txt is stated that you can only resupply HQ after it's been 100% destroyed, if less than that you have to wait for the AI resupplies.

Bullethead,

That 2 hour down time only applies if the city is at 0%.

Just read the help section of the HTC web site and all will be answered.

Sera check to see if it happens on certain maps. I really think some maps it helps and others it dont. I know Ive gotten perks when HQ was damaged and other times I didnt but radar was still down.

okay will say it again. There is no bug at HQ's. You are getting perk points for rebuilding buildings not HQ. As per DALE and Roy (hitech and skuzzy) "If You COULD resupply hq's without it being destoryed that would be a bug."

Hq's can only be resupplied when destoryed completely. but you can get perks for rebuilding buildings at HQ. what is happening is goon after goons is dropping supplies, all the while trains are resuppling. so guys think its there goons rebuilding dar.perks stop after all buildings are up. And when you get no perks trying to rebuild dar it just means a good bomber came in and only bombed white HQ building, so no other building s for your supplies to rebuild...................... ..........................
