3.75 perkies

Is that the max for resupp runs now?

thats more than the guy that spent 2 hours to fly to your city and bomb it got to give you the chance to farm free non combat bomber/gv perks.

Question...why do you care about strat and town bombing or re suppling, you don't seem to do either. I think the new (now old system) was great to get people to re supply, even when a horde was at a base, I did it many times to try and save a base, have you? Oh wait, you can't re supply a bases from a 262, I forgot :bhead

Relax Francis, a simple yes or no would have sufficed.

im depressed.  :cry
strat raiders already get rewarded by object downtimes.

this just discourages resupplying, w/c almost nobody ever does for measly perk points.

Hmm... I would have thought at least 5 would have been the maximum considering the volume of OBJ able to be repaired.

However, this does shove the pendulum back in favor of earning perk points the old fashioned way:  via combat.   :aok

Measly perk points? You are kidding me!

3.75 perk points for just 5 minutes of m3 driving or, in case of the strats 6-8 minutes of goon flying is still way more than the average player does make in combat. You must be pretty good to earn bomber or GV perks at a rate of 28 - 45 perks per hour by flying true combat missions.
It's still easy perks, just no "get a King Tiger in 4 M3 runs" any more. This was way out of balance and making the perk point system a farce.


And on top of that, the m3 runs are also still encouraged by the huge effect they have on towns. I have easily saved a lot of towns by running supps instead of fighting the enemy. On serveral instances I would have had a hard time saving the base by combat, but running just two m3s turned a hard contested battle into a piece of cake for the defenders...

Oh, i didnt realize we had gotten an update since Tuesday night.

I guess HTC needs to change this in the help section.
 "The supplies are selected as a loadout option in the hangar and .25 perk points are awarded to the player who dropped the supplies for each object that is affected by the resupply."

Also will the perk multiplier not affect supply drops anymore?

Edit: by the way im not arguing with you im just curious.  :salute

I flew NOE over hilly terrain for 1 hour of a 2 hour mission to bomb down HQ and 5 guys in M3s can resupply it with two trips each in 6 minutes if the city is 100%.

City status affects HQ?

Yes.

Basic HQ downtime is 45 minutes now, with City at 0% it would be 165 minutes.
