xarmy 10 Posted January 27, 2010 Hi everyone, Ive spent a good couple of weeks trying to be patient and logical with this simulation/game. I think Im close to putting it in the bin - though potentially its quite brilliant. I wont detail the negative points as they are already documented elsewhere, it would be funny if it werent so tragic. Anyway the point of this post is to ask newbie questions and hopefully be guided to the light. Heres my wish list. I am at the NAPA base, light, heavy, factories, barracks and all as per expected. I have sent many units to other commands and own most towns. Ive been playing so long I expect the tanks need refuelled cos they dont seem to want to move around the map now. So where do I buy refuelling trucks, ammo trucks etc. or does AI do this automatically. They dont appear on my list of units to purchase even when stood next to the light factory. Can I move my HQ to a more strategic location. Its a vital requirement of todays mobile land forces as demonstrated during the war with Iraq in 1990. Why cant I purchase helicopters, others seem to be able to do, and crash them mostly. If I travel to captured towns and stand in the depot/main bunker I can only purchase supply trucks. Cant rearm, repair or refuel. Think I could before updating with the latest patch. If I respawn a command will that reset the unit to its start state of vehicles ? My units captured the town that should cause american helicopters and units to roll up but that didnt happen so why not ? Do I have to actually be in the town too ? Theres a bucket load of Russian units at the airfield NW top of map. Why ? I attacked them for a hoot and got hammered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zdavid99 10 Posted January 27, 2010 you have to buy fuel/ammo trucks. no you HQ is where it is and you cannot move it. a helipad must be constructed before you can buy helos. if you are the commander you will have to build it manually but if the AI is the commander it will build a helipad for you. the function to repair/rearm/refuel at towncenters seems to be broken or possible removed since patch 1.05 not sure what you mean with "respawn command"? How long have you waited since you captured Chernogorsk? sometimes it takes a while for the triggers to activate and for shaftoe to radio in. Once Shaftoe called you it while take another while before the units arrive. Do not attack the russians. Focus on the Chedaki towns and on their base. you should also focus on the island southeast of kamyshovo but not until you get the task. The task will be assigned to you after your conversations with shaftoe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xarmy 10 Posted January 27, 2010 Hi zdavid99, The base has 2 heli factories, is that the helipad? the option to purchase helis and airplanes is greyed out. If I choose the option in map view menu for tasks then click on TEAMS from the menu while being the AI commander I can see what each unit has, money, tanks, bmps, jeeps. On this is an option to respawn. I stood in the depot at Cheregorsk for 10 minutes. Ive destroyed the chedaki base, just a couple of the bases remain on the east coast.

I have never used it or looked at it so i dont know how it works. Regarding Shaftoe and Chernogorsk. I dont think you have to wait in the city. How long time have passed since you captured ChrG?
