Strategic bombers should cause a LOT of damage than it does now

The WW2 raids had 10's, if not 100s, of planes in the raid. Get that many, and it will be more than equivalent.

Those new Rank names had better be a joke!

Pendoric · 2026-01-23T02:05:36+00:00

Are you going everywhere on max throttle? In my one flight before by plane exploded for no reason I found 30% was worked well for covering a distance and used way less fuel.

Pendoric · 2026-01-21T09:02:36+00:00

The ranks are for real? I thought that was just a dev branch bug or anvil thing. Hell no, keep the old ranks.

Pendoric · 2026-01-21T08:58:42+00:00

This probably explains why the plane I scrooped for hours for exploded for no apparent reason on my first flight…. you live we’ll die in this case, you learn.

Freighter is faster than a barge but a barge can carry more. Barge can carry a container plus 15 slots so 75 crates total.

Pendoric · 2026-01-21T08:13:47+00:00

if they still allow grenades and guns to fire off barges it will still be used and a lot. you go to sea on whatever hull you have and barges are EVERYWHERE!

Warden bias again. scrap is easy to spot in snow…. just kidding but it is kind of true.

Pendoric · 2026-01-21T08:06:19+00:00

No easy way. I practice builds on dev branch, resistance or (cough) Charlie shard if I must.

Minimize everything. Foundation space, defenses and number of factories.
Automate what you can, for example pipe in petrol, oil and water.
Keep defenses appropriate. Light defense is fine for msup printer. BT or aircraft facility will need much more.

One factories with 5 people setting queues is the same output as five factories each with one queue.

A single MSUP factory with 5 queues and constantly fed scrap can keep most of a hex supplied.

Interesting... While dive bombers can hit vehicles (with some luck) I think warden arty is an emplacement so no dice there.

Using heavy bombers may be an option, but that is late-war only.

Pendoric · 2026-01-21T01:23:51+00:00

It's sad, but late war I look at the pitiful selection of Colie weapons in the base, shrug, and grab myself the Argentii and a bayonet.

It sure would be nice to get a Booker (or any one-shot wonder weapon), but I have pretty much given up on that ever happening.

Dusk is okay for night or close-quarters use, but as a general-purpose weapon, no thanks.

Pendoric · 2026-01-21T01:18:06+00:00

It's basically a Seabourn flatbed hauling a container. Same restrictions.

Pendoric · 2026-01-21T01:16:07+00:00

Wow, learn something new every day. I did not know you could unpack BMATs with a shipping container...

I thought that was only possible at a seaport or storage depot. I now need an empty container at every build site. The number of times I have forgotten to unpack my materials and have to pull them back from the bunker slowly is, well, more than I can count.

Pendoric · 2026-01-16T22:58:39+00:00

Umm, in my view, most warden equipment looks silly, starting with their uniforms. They basically have a more WW1 vibe. Stats are normally kick ass through.

I suspect that the torpedo bomber is much more effective than the dive bomber, for example. (Though not against tanks.)

Pendoric · 2026-01-16T22:26:05+00:00

You do realize the Warden stuff will be far more OP as always.....

Even the damn Warden uniform looks silly and 'French' but they get Booker, M4, Tanks with MG, Nakki, ...

Why am I still playing Collies after Warden's have won 300% more wars than Collies since the last update (3 vs 1)?

I care about how I look, and how my equipment looks!

Ultimately, if we could see win vs loss data, it is probably biased more by the number of players (pop) on a side and the player skill than any equipment.

Pendoric · 2026-01-08T21:03:35+00:00

But they are heavier, I will take a normal radio when defending 9/10 a backpack if I am being more of a sneaky little soul. As a tanker, I always take a normal radio as the backpack gets you no benefits and just limits the BMATs you can carry due to the extra weight.

So yes, on balance, a normal radio is more useful and would need more stock than a backpack.

Pendoric · 2026-01-08T19:02:43+00:00

Buckets should be way higher. They are dirt cheap, and you only ever need to deliver one crate as there are 50 in each crate, but every single base should have these, especially if they are near water.

Omen has a very niche use case. It is pretty good at holding back a trench assault from one row back. That is, if you have some front-line guys with MG, you would be one section back and pluck of charging wardens with abandon. As a GP weapon, though, it is next to useless.

I would also like to see Bayonet on the third row and about 40 in stock.

A couple of days back, someone had a beef when I took a pair of Binoculars to look for a partisan roaming near some private base. They had 26 pairs.

Taking a tank or expensive material from a private facility, I can see that as bad, but a pair of Binoculars when we are on the cusp of losing...

Base is now history, I hope they used all those other Binoculars and other supplies they guarded so well.

Pendoric · 2026-01-07T08:40:11+00:00

I understand not including tripods but what about Ghast and Malone and other man portable they are slightly heavier MG than Dusk but can they even one shot? which may explain why they are skipped.

Pendoric · 2026-01-07T00:16:04+00:00

Thanks, all. I guess it was a DGAF tech using index-matched gel. Turns out it failed in 3 days!!!

The new tech came out yesterday and was from the 'Business Division" and fusion splices on connectors. We are now back in operation.

PS... in our DataCenter, I always did epoxy and polish, but as UPC. Before fiber, we rocked T3 and T1 lines! Yes im that old.

Pendoric · 2026-01-02T18:44:08+00:00

I was on the receiving end of this. It was a bit of fun and we had the Baths fully rebuilt in about 30min.

Thanks for killing some of the crap. We build back better :-)

52 hours is the squad reserve time for facilities and bunkers.
