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!

Also, resupplying vics are awesome CAS targets!
