Convoys
« on: April 10, 2020, 02:53:35 PM »
In the MA right now (fordma) there are truck convoys. I killed some of them, but the result seem to be the same. The host say Road Convoy xxx destroyed, it will be down for 600 minutes. There are no destroyed objects that were affected by this train/convoy.

What's the purpose of these (except fun strafing  :cool: ), and what about these 600 minutes (it's 10 hours ! )

Down time is an arena setting. No idea why it's set to 600 for convoys on that map. Convoys, barges, and trains were used to resupply damaged objects, I don't know if they still shorten down time.

In AH2 destroying a truck convoy would lengthen the re-spawn time of objects at a base, and dropping supplies would shorten the re-spawn time.  I don't know if convoys have the same effect in AH3.
