Depot Supply Storage option

Post by guctony »

Although I am extremely happy with the Game. I think there is one option required to make it better.

That is to provide an option for Depots to store supply and not to distribute like Naval depots.

The reasoning is simple such an option would reflect better strategic thinking of and forward planning for assault operations. Also minimize the risk of of using super depots and loosing to many trucks if the super depot is far away from combat troops.

I believe it was well in the powers of high level leaders to decide with depots to store supply which to release it.

Currently as Germany if you are an aggressive attacker You need Super depots but at the same time Super depots are double edged sword they supply to much to everywhere which increase supply and Truck losses.

You can do this in the game already.

HYLA is correct. You should use the FBDs to build your redundant rail net. Depots on 2 and higher level railyards will provide the freight you need. I have come to believe Super depots are a red herring. Set unit priorities to the lowest level and watch everyone get what they need verses what they want. Make a supply net instead of a supply thread and observe what happens.
