Someone in the know clarify please, I've gotten different answers to these questions:
Does the soft gun have to be down in order for troops to take at a v base?
Does an auto ack being up (the far one, not firing on your troops) have to be down for troops to take?
I have heard that being up or down has no effect, I have also heard that either or both being up is the same effect as a building being up in town, negates the troops. Anyone know?
-
No and No
-
Soft Gun (maned Ack) does not have to be down, in order to take a V-base.
All Auto Ack has to be down, in order to take a V-base.
just because it does not shoot at your troops does not mean it will not kill them.
A very long time again you could leave the far ack up and take a V-base but that has changed over time.
-
What Kilz Said is absolutely true.
Many a V-base captures have been spoiled due to one of the auto's coming up at the wrong time. As far as the manned goes, make sure it's down as well and remeber that it does not stay down nearly as long as the Auto so keep checking.
Anyone know how long the manned does stay down...never put a clock on it.

Interesting, Slapshot and Kilz, both of whom I would trust with an answer, gave different answers. This is how this convo goes. Hard to sort out.

Take it from a base taker, both auto's need to be down. Ensure your time is well spent by killing the manned or take it a step further and kill all hangers and rouge GV's as well.

soft gun (man gun) stays down for 15 minutes
Auto Ack stays down for 45 minutes

thank you for your trust in my answers :salute
-
Soft gun does not need to be down. (but someone can up in it and kill troops)
Yes both auto acks need to be down.

That I didn't know ... It use to be if the ack couldn't or didn't shoot the troops ... you were OK. I stand corrected.

I WAS TOLD 15 MINUTES FOR MANNED ACK, 45 FOR AUTO ACK, AND 15 MINUTES EACH FOR THE VH'S
I THINK I REMEMBER TROOPS NOT TAKING WHEN I HAD LEFT ONE OF THE ACKS UP BEFORE TOO......
-
Just to sum things up:
Soft gun does not have to be down. The only way that gun can kill troops is for someone to man it and shoot them. The gun being up does not prevent a capture like having a town building up.
Auto ack has to be down. The ack will not shoot or may not have a clear shot at the troops but the troops will simply disappear when they get within range or step onto the base. The auto ack being up also does not prevent a capture like having a town building up; you just can’t get any troops to the maproom.

Auto ack has to be down. The ack will not shoot or may not have a clear shot at the troops but the troops will simply disappear when they get within range correct range is 1k
The auto ack being up also does not prevent a capture like having a town building up; you just can’t get any troops to the maproom. yes it does prevent the base capture due to the fact your troops die

Yup ... spend most of my time in the Mid War Arena ... I have been spending more time lately in the Late War Blue Arena ... when the numbers in there aren't too large.

So NUKE it, take it, rebuild it?

When you have captured it, there's usually not much more to rebuild on a VBase than radar and maybee troops (ords are only necessary in case you want to spawn SdkKfz or PT's with rockets). Ack guns do come back up instantly after capture, regardless of remaining downtime. And you can't shorten hangar downtimes by any means, they are not resupplyable.
