Assault vehicles (AVs) - what are they?

[Ulysses]

Hey guys,

For the purposes of Museum boosts... and for supply wagons/ambulances healing effects (which have extra boosts "for generals and cavalry")... what category are assault vehicles?

From their stats and animations, they seem to be armor or cavalry.
But I'm not sure they're getting the Museum and ambulance boosts that tanks/cavalry get.

Anybody know if Nexon classified AVs as some other category???

Assault Vehicles are not classed as tanks/heavy cavalry unfortunately.

As you already suspect, you wont receive the Healing Cart boost, but also in balance to that they wont take the higher rate damage from Planes.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Mus, yeah, that helps.

Too bad that AVs aren't considered tanks/armor/cavalry. I guess that means there isn't a Museum option to bonus them?

You make an interesting point that AVs shouldn't take the higher rate damage from fighters.

Reading the details in game, my fighters show 336 dps basic, and 5,719 (17x) dps "against defenders". I see the strengths descriptor shows "17x damage vs tanks, suppressed building operate 66% slower for a time".

So I got to wondering, which is correct? Do fighters have that higher 17x dps against ALL defenders (as the "dps against defenders" suggests)? Or do fighters have that 17x dps versus only tanks (as the strengths suggests)?

Because whenever I've used em (or been attacked by them) fighters seem to pretty much chew up any defending units... including tanks, infantry, artillery and even heavies...

If you think about it, planes are only really good for Tanks, Heavy Tanks, Footies, Archers and Howies... cos the latter have relatively low health, Field Howies and Heavy Artillery tend too need multiple planes...

Generals are not scratched (where as the Zeppelin used too really hurt Generals, but too unsafe too use with SAM site Global+)

Planes are also pretty kak against Armoured Cars, Flame Throwers and Elephant Archers for example, should you want defending Stronghold ideas...

The DPS of planes is tricky, as 1 strike will be a far higher figure than the stated Per Second value, like Ballista Towers...

There are also no museum bonuses for factory troops either so the AV's are just one of a whole list that do not get a perk. But the benefit also is that they aren't affected should someone have debuffs for them in museum but in all honestly, who would be holding a heavy calvary debuff armor piece anyway. It would be useless unless every attack against you harasses you with tanks and horses. Same reason tac helis aren't supply vehicles so not buffs/debuffs either. Just a weird game sometimes.
