Title: Ground targets
Post by: Seeker on February 10, 2001, 11:01:00 AM
What are the different ground targets in a base, and do they need to be destroyed in any particular order?

Additionaly, I some times see bases, or at least installations, which don't show on the map (clip board). Should I go in and strafe these, or am I risking porking my own bases?

Acks, fuel, ammo dumps, hangars, radar. Don't have to destroy them in a particular order but I can recommend taking out the vehicle hangar first, to avoid the spawning of Ostwinds From Hell, and then ack, radar and hangars. Or, if you're part of a strike force, hangars, radar, ack  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

The installations you see are start targets, such as training facilities, oil refineries etc. If they're near your territory, theiy're friendlies and your ammo won't do any damage  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Thanks!

When you say strat targets, does this imply that damaging them will in fact hamper the enemy?

When you say I can't damage my own side (not that they'll believe you!, will I see some kind of sign that I'm wasting my time, or what?

Damaging the factories don't directly hinders the enemy, but it affects the time it takes for the corresponding structure at the enemy's base to rebuild after it is destroyed.

For instance hitting the fuel tanks at a base (if all is down only 25% can be chosen) and they rebuild in 30 min. If the fuel refinery is damaged then it will take longer.

To determine the ownership of the facility download the map on my page. I have marked them and coloured them differently for each country.
