Title: Can towns be resupplied?
Post by: Bosch232 on February 21, 2008, 01:02:36 PM: Looking at this web page: http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/strategy/stratguide.htm

In part it says: "Damaged field and city objects can be rebuilt with the successful delivery of supplies. Conceptually, the objects are being resupplied but visually they are being rebuilt."

But further down the page, on the spreadsheet, it says town buildings can NOT be resupplied. See the last column of the table for strategic targets.

Can I help rebuild a town by dropping Airfield Supplies at the town or not?

*Edit* Ok, looking at it again, it says CITY objects. So I CAN'T help out a little airbase town, but I CAN help resupply a big city. Right? :rolleyes:

Actually the yellow dot is the maproom icon - it's at ports & V'bases too.

To my understanding towns are not resupplied by any means. At least that's what the tables both in Help section of this very website says. And I have never seen a town staying down for a longer or shorter duration of 45 mins. All truck convoys I ever see are going to the field, not the towns.

Post by: Stoliman on February 21, 2008, 08:09:19 PM: Will a simple re-supply of a base, via M3 or goon, help bring up the town ack faster? I know it won't the town buildings themselves, but what about the ack there?

Post by: SWrokit on February 22, 2008, 12:43:10 AM: Town ack only can be brought up faster by resupply. Supplies must be dropped on concrete, in town.

I didn't believe it either until I saw it with my own eyes. Buildings no, ack, yes.

SWrokit stated it.

you can run M3s or Goons to the town and drop base supplies on concret in the town and get the town ack back up with 6 drops of base supplies.

we do it all the time and ruin the day for rooks or bish when the goon gets there and is met by 8 ack guns:D

"These object supplies will repair all resupplyable objects in a one mile radius from the point where the supplies land." From Help section.
For full perk value of your sortie you need to end flight on concrete.
Of course land and stop on concrete, release suplies and then exiting eliminates the need to taxi to concrette to exit.
I always wait to see my supply crate dissappear [explode] before I exit.

They can also be slowed from coming back up by destroying the factory OR the convoy. Supplies are placed randomly within the convoy based on the damage at the destination when the convoy spawned, so if you kill an empty truck it has no effect on downtime.

Destroying a city will cause factories and the HQ to resupply slower. Destroying trains have the same effect as a convoy, except on factories/HQ instead of strat objects. There's the added bonus that destroying a train car will cut off the ones behind it. However, trains have quad-barreled 20mm AA guns like the ones found on the airfields.
