Recharging ammo of aircraft
Recharging ammo of aircraft
Is there any more efficient (in terms of human attention) way to do this rather than just microing them on the airfields/helipads? Something more automatic like what can be done with a service pad?

The next release has complete automatic queued reloading of aircraft

It's really awesome.

That is really exciting! However I could see this becoming a balance issue when massing up air units suddenly becomes super convenient. Will likely need a lot of playtesting.r34ch wrote: ↑The next release has complete automatic queued reloading of aircraft

Yes all of them. As far as I can tell if air units do not have a target when refilling, once reloaded they take off again and go to the building waypoint allowing other air units the chance to reload.SoScared wrote: ↑does it take advantage of every airfield available to the player?
By proxy, it also seems to reduce the number of times air production is blocked by a landed air unit.
Then I think there really can't be much doubt about it, this will likely have big repercussions for the gameplay. If I'm reading this correctly, re-arming aircrafts goes towards my rally point without skipping a beat, even with large numbers of aircrafts - using only the rally point and my deploy hotkey. That's nuts.
Don't get me wrong this is fantastic, I'm just saying be prepared for a potential big shift towards dominant air play with the next playtest so we don't get a panic ridden balance discussions weeks before a potential release

I think it will promote aircraft as main army unit rather than throw-aways. Also; i think MORE people will be complaining about AA than aircraft after thisSoScared wrote: ↑-Snip-
the amount of micro you put into re-arming helicopters only happened because the game didnt act the way it should. i dont think it will make them stronger, change the meta or have any repercussions for players who defend properly (unless the units are OP), they will just be used as effectively as they should be during the game rather than blocking each other on the helipad.
