Supply truck

[dbukalski]

Supply trucks heal 38 per second

38x 3 for heavy cav and generals

Do they 38x3 for tanks?

Do they get 33% bonus from weapon blessing? Because the blessing says damage increase for barracks. Which begs the question. Do factory and airstrip and generals benefit?

Do they get 10% bonus from german nation bonus?

Because in total they could be healing 38 x 43% x 3(generals) = 163 hp / sec

Oh, dbuk is preparing for 5-starring. I think I may take a rest lol )))

 

[dbukalski]

Its time to unleash the beast i had no interest in 5 starring before because what i was using before, taking all gold, trade goods with battles every 4 mins was about as good as it was going to get. 5 starring would take 3ish minutes just in battle + retrain + search opponents so no chance to be faster than 4 minute intervals

 

[Redgar]

Since I perfectly know british combo, I may always come back to 2400-2600 range where I'll be able to loot 3-4m gold per hour with any nerfs they planned ))) but I would rather try smth new with germans or romans. So yea, we'll get there this way or another with factory on tb.

I think they key is a minimum 'must have' factory units and how long they are built. Don't forget there was a HT upgrade announced.

 

[dbukalski]

Watching replays supply truck gets icon for weapon blessing and german nation bonus so presumably its healing is buffed

 

[Gambrinus]

I'm pretty sure they removed factory and air units from both the weapons blessing and armor blessing at the V2.0 update, when they messed with the TB. so i would assume that generals either never where covered by them, or it was removed at the update. but I'd have to watch next time i place troops with the blessing on, if they get the icon above their head.

I'll have to assume that the supply truck benefit from the weapon blessing the same as other barracks troops, they get the icon over their head when placed on the battlefield.

as far as German is concerned they get their bonus applied to the whole army. and even if you had 163hp/sec healing of generals, it wouldn't matter because the ai is so pathetic for them that they immediately run towards the closest cannon tower and die instantly.

 

[Redgar]

Knowing BHG, icon does not mean blessing buff. It easily could be no dmg - no buff. If blessing does not change any unit stats, I'd say it is not applied

 

[dbukalski]

So theres no way to know without going into campaign map witj controlled environment. Where u can allow the same defense structure attack then run tests like i did for rally and other information i wanted to verify

 

[dbukalski]

As is generals and supply carts get the icon so my starting assumption is buffed

 

[Redgar]

After all units are nerfed, we'll play wall sappers spam. Ultimate combo, I am telling you. Their hp/dmg is not that bad, no worries about walls or traps. Take 30 sappers, 6 raiders and have an easy wins lol

 

[dbukalski]

Hahahha if it comes to that but their build time is terrible so hopefully it doesnt come to that

 

[Ravenlord]

Great - that means the engineers/tech weenies get all the girls now !!!

 

[Hunter Killer]

We don't know how bad the building time of raiders will be after the patch so the engineers idea is actually not bad . If I release them wisely (half second interval), I get 3 engineers to knock the first wall, kill the mortar behind it and knock the next wall with one rally on the mortar. I am pretty impressed with the amount of damage and how fast 3 engineers can take down a mortar. At least quick enough to not get killed by spawning troops while still taking out 2 layers of walls.

In addition, the blast of exploding the walls produces splash damage to surrounding defenders. If the blast is big enough, you may even get rid of these defenders easily if you combine the engineers with something else maybe. It may not lead to anything but I'd like to test something after the patch gets released. Db, I like the idea of testing in solo campaign, never thought about that, I always test it live in multiplayer.

 

[dbukalski]

Yeah campaign allows me to use same tower for same damage

 

[Redgar]

Yep, tank is 288 dmg, 2,5 sappers is 216+54 = 270 dmg, but run faster more HP than raiders. Take down FC in no time. Its gonna be fun!

 

[Gambrinus]

I better start upgrading my sappers next

 

[Redgar]

So how much dps in fact rally adds? And how multiplier works with blessings/fury/gladiator strength?

 

[dbukalski]

U guys are gonna make bhg cry with ur cheese

 

[Gambrinus]

i got confirmation from customers service that rally doesn't add any dps boost or rate of fire increase.

1 Troop in the corner for distraction + 30 Sappers + Supply Truck and a biplane should do the trick.
