What do the letters & numbers mean on LCU hover?

Post by purake »

I feel like I'm missing out on vital information by not knowing what the letters and numbers that appear when you hover over LCUs mean.

For example:

A434 G79 F54 E43 S381 next to the unit name

Total: A598 G92 F71 E154 V15 S710

Any help appreciated!

A= Assault Value
F= Flak e.g. AA weapons
G= Guns (artillery)
E = Engineers
S= Support squads
V = Air Support squads

Be aware that "Guns" is counted differently by different info screens. If you go to the Base screen and look at the count on guns, then compare it with the mouseover count for all the units at the base, it is different.
Same if you look at the individual unit vs. the mouseover display, or the screen that lists all units at the base with gun total at the bottom, vs the mouseover total. The difference seems to be in whether the AA guns are included or not. Or maybe just the heavy AA guns are included and not the machine cannon AA. Or maybe only Dual Purpose AA guns are included. I never figured out exactly what was what so I don't rely much on the mouseover gun values.
