MPK Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Mindful of how annoying it must be for Those Who Know when the same questions are asked and answered a zillion times, I've been searching the forums to find out a couple of things about Ops...but cannot find the answers... Is there an archive, offsite or otherwise, beyond the 'Anthology of Useful Posts" ? that might answer questions like: (1)Do repaired vehicles only return in the battle following a Night battle? (2)Is the chance of a vehicle returning increased if its crew are exited off the map, or do they merely need to survive? (3)How do the different levels of supply actually function? Any assistance appreciated, and violent flaming meekly tolerated... cheers, Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 1. Don't know. That's when I generally have seen them, but I can't say for sure that it is the only time. 2. Map exit will not help. 3. Inpacts ammo replenishment and vehicle repair times. More supply = more ammo and better chance for faster repair. As for the actual algorithim, I have no clue and I doubt it's ever been released or tested in enough detail to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, your Op has to last longer than one day, and the only way to ensure that is to insert a night battle somewhere in the rotation. Otherwise the computer will assume all the action occurs in one day. That said, your vehicle may not return in the battle immediately following a night battle. It may be a battle or two later, depending on how the replenishment levels are set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macphail Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 i had no idea you could do that. ive never played more than a single battle. one is gruelling enough, and often takes me more than one day. a couple of hours one day, and finish it the next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Macphail, you've never played any of the Operations? Really? It is true they can be grueling... me, I like gruel. The best of my current ones has been going 4 months...and that's at 2 PBEM turns a day... It's also fun to play vs the AI (the right Operation-eg you attack, the AI defends)and just chip away when you have a spare moment... Lots of cool things can happen in Ops... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
