Der Kuenstler Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I am playing a new QB in Finland using ski troops and am pretty unfamiliar with them. Do they ski faster downhill than uphill? Can you move them on "fast" longer without them tiring since they are on skis? I know they drop their skis when you "advance" them, but that's about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leprechaun Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 They move a lot faster than regular infantry and I don't think grade has any effect, not sure though. IIRC they don't tire like regular troops on fast but will drop their skis as soon as contact is made (fired upon) or you use the advance order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 They appear to move 3 times faster than the normal infantry, in reg. snow. I ran units on flat ground and units down a steep hill to compare. The units coming down the hill did gain a little more ground but not much, about 10 meters in 200. They tired at about the same time. The interesting thing was watching them come down the hill, they would vary speed, but not always faster when steeper but at least sometimes. The level of how tired they are will impact the speed the most, slow no matter what direction when tired. It appears maybe going down the hill might save a little energy but not much, so I am guessing maybe they will tire faster going up hill. Learn to run some test in maps you create, that is the best way to get data that helps you know how units will react. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
