Transport asset sharing feature(possibly) not working as intended.

Post by kutaycosar »

When reading the section on transport asset sharing in the manual, you will have impression that units containing trucks or horses within a formation will provide the maximum supply boost to units in their formation.

I tested this in several scenarios by leaving one unit and moving all other units in the formation, but it effected that particular unit like any other unit regarless of formation -> The supply boost provided by these transport assets appears to be globally equal for all units. You would expect that mainly formation's assets affect its own formation more than the units in other formations.

Since the new major update is currently in development, I wanted to highlight this. I hope my English was good enough to explain the issue. If not, I can provide additional details with screenshots.

Just need to correct the manual to reflect how it actually works.

I wonder how valid is the assumption that units will freely share transportation assets. IMO would be better if this was an option that a scenario designer could turn on or off.

It states that it is possible to lend to other formations based on cooperation levels, so it may be working as designed.

Formation Supply delivery is not a visible item, so I don't know how it could be monitored except for within a specific test scenario, I think.
