What are the stages that a hanger or other object goes through before it is fully repaired? When a hanger is destroyed, it is on fire. What does it look like just before it is fully repaired, and what are the stages it goes through?
:headscratch:
I keep looking for the little men repairing the hangers, but I can't see any, so there must be some other clue. :lol

Once the smoke disappears, there's approx 5 minutes left before it pops.
-
If you take it down or see it go down,, set a timer for 15 minutes that's how long it stays down!
-
15 Minutes Total, Exactly.
it will smoke for 10 minutes, then just burn without smoke for 5 minutes.
Sometimes they neither smoke or burn but they still come back after exactly 15 minutes.
If you're a Rook or a Knight, you can use an M3 or a 251 with field supplies to make it come back faster but you need to drive the supplies to the enemy GV spawn before releasing them. The game will automatically send you back to the tower once the supplies take effect but there is a bug that will tell you that someone killed you, but this is just a bug and should be ignored.

resupply does NOT bring the hangers up quicker. They are down 15 minutes each. If the first hanger is taken down, then 5 minutes later the others are taken down then the fighters will only be down for ten minutes as the first hanger will repair in ten more minutes (the other 5 minutes being before they took the rest down). Thats why it's important to take ALL the hangers down about the same time.
-
I agree with the Fug here when he says that it's important to take them all down at nearly the same time. Since hangers are all or nothing, many well intentioned players will drop one and hope that others follow suit.
What really happens is that later on, guys will show up in a group to take them all down but since one is out of sync and has already been down for 10 minutes. Once the other's get dropped in rapid succession, the first to go down has just stopped smoking and instead of disabling something for 15 minutes, they're disabled for a much shorter period of time.
As far as resupplying hangers My opinion stands although it's unfair for this to not work on Bishop fields.

Also please notice that this is a complete fabrication of BS !!! that vWNTRGRN / Rob52240 has posted......... this crap falls in line with those people who tell you to "Alt F4" to get extra ammo or to open your parachute or whatever...... I guess some need to joke around no matter what forum they are posting in........
hope this helps

I would suggest that the 10 minute smoke and 5 minute no smoke is not a hard figure but a function/ratio of the total down time set in the Objects setting...
Have not tested it, but if the down time was 30...it might smoke for 20 and pop 10 later
Just a hunch

That doesn't surprise me one bit.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks.

Hangers only stay down for 15 minutes, not 30.
I'll trust reality and my 15 minute timer over that chart any day.

My guess is that clipboard is showing the arena settings for offline - where you can actually get to the arena settings and set them to whatever you want. ;)

I am thinking the "Hanger" that is circled on the snapshot above is for a different type of Hangar....... perhaps at a port or a city or strat target, not the Hangars at airfields and GV bases
look up above it and you will notice "Ftr Hgr" with a downtime of 15 minutes and a hardness of 2.7813 ---> which equals the 2,700/2,800 lbs of bombs/rkts needed to destroy a Fighter Hangar....... this is correct just like in game online ( that snap shot I am pretty sure is from offline )
hope this helps

Aha! So the 30-minute down time and relative softness of the hanger means we have an excuse to just throw our clothes in a pile in the corner if someone was to pork the hanger. :aok

I assumed the hundreds of planes that can be stored in a single hangar were just pressed neatly and hung on racks with hangers to save space.

Its a deprecated object type that was replaced with the granulation of hanger types: fighter, bomber and vehicle as the game evolved over time
HT rarely if ever removes things from its line up be it plane or object once deprecated...thus their are remnant legacy things left laying around...
Such as this.

Seems to me that if the hangars are in the process of being repaired and you hit them again, it should extend the down time. Doesn't work that way in AH.
