W:ALB - The Wonderful World of Logistics!

Post by Ferrard Carson »

So, those of you who shouted "W:EE!!!" will surely remember DeuZerre's fantastic guide to Picking Your Units! Unfortunately, he hasn't yet replicated it for those of us screaming "W:ALB!" Those of us wondering what supply vehicles to use are either sticking to nationalism because F*CK YEAH, SCANDINAVIA! or just picking the ones that look prettiest. But separate from game sense and mathematically speaking, which supply vehicles are best?

Fortunately, I've done some minor number-crunching for you! Obviously, this is a beta, these numbers are likely to change, and I'll admit, I haven't actually played enough W:ALB yet to get a feel for each unit, so I can't say for sure which ones I like or which ones I hate.

What's all this mean? Well, you tell me, I'm tired tonight!

The format I'll use:

Code: Select all

[b][name][/b]
Nation: [IMPORTANT FOR NATIONAL DECKS]
Number: [NUMBER OF UNITS AVAILABLE IN EACH SLOT]
Cost: [COST OF UNIT IN POINTS]
Supplies: [HOW MANY SUPPLIES EACH UNIT CARRIES]
Efficiency: [SUPPLIES / POINT]
Total Supplies: [SHEER VOLUME OF SUPPLIES AVAILABLE IF ALL UNITS IN THE SLOT WERE CALLED IN]
Special: [OTHER IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS]
Without further ado:

Fun fact, uncovered by repeated playing of 10v10's - you often don't have to bring FOBs. The extremely supply-heavy ATGM meta is no more, meaning that you usually only need one card of 12k or 15k total supply trucks, with a second as backup in case Aardvarks kill your first bunch while they're trying to repair your tanks. Even if you need more supplies or prefer to supply-micro, plenty of players bring FOBs just because that's what they're used to, and you can ninja supplies from one of your allies. I'm sure they won't mind! :cop:

Also, resupplying vics are awesome CAS targets! :laugh:
