APC units capped at 6 after Wu Zetian upgrade (supposed to be 12)

[sweatymonkey]

After Wu Zetian +3 APC units upgrade, APC MK3 is supposed to deploy 6 units per deployment, capped at 12 units.

However, I noticed that the APCs stop deploying after the first deployment of 6 units.

Is this a bug? Can anyone else confirm this?

Yes, the max any APC can drop is 6. What our various research does is up the number of troops that come out at once. The text used in research description omits that part, so it reads like we are researching additional troops total not additional troops per-deployment.

Early APC troops saunter out 1 or 2 at a time. After research the max squad (6) will all leap out at the same time.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the clarification Terra.

However, I see that there is 'Troop Space = 12' under APC info, which I take to mean that max number of troops on the field is 12.

Unless I am wrong, but what else can 'Troop Space = 12' mean?

Oh yes, that 12!
This means by training an APC it costs 12 spaces from our quantity of troops. I can definitely see the confusion here because of the words ‘troop space’.
I think we players’ typical maximum quantity of troops (before nation bonus or temporary building allowances), is 155. Training one APC will add 12 spaces closer to the 155. Donating an APC also covers 12 spaces of the receiver’s’ capacity.

Ohh I get it!

Thanks for clearing things up!
