AR ships and Replensihment TFs help - 7/12/2008 10:24:50 PM

Got a question for you guys out there.

Ok I know that you can have AR ships in a port that help repair dmg done to ships. I know up to 4 AR's can stack in one port to help repairs. But here is the question. What type of TF do you make those AR into? Do they even have to be in a TF? Does the TF have to be docked or undocked?

I still don't understand fully how ships repair dmg. I know that larger ports are better and ports with repair facilities are even better but not 100% sure. I got my KB still intact by mid june and I see 4 out of the 6 carriers upgrade in August so I gotta get my sys dmg repaired since they are all hovering around 10.

Second question is about replenishment Convoys. What do you put in these? I know I put AO's in for fuel but should I be putting some other type of ship in to help supply other TF's? I know there are AV's and AE's but I unsure what type of ships these are and what they do.

thanks in advance!

You have to disband ARs into port, otherwise they are useless.

You can also use them to replenish ammunition (AE ships, Allies only) and planes from certain CVEs. AVs and AVDs are not supposed to be in TFs, but disbanded in port to add aviation support for float planes. Again, check the 'List of Must Read Threads' for details.

No wonder those AR's weren't doing anything!

Not true, sea plane tenders (AV, AVD, CS) do not have to be disbanded to give air support. I often send one to a beach with some patrol a/c. Obviously being at a beach they can't dock and use fuel and the a/c need supplies to fly. You can store supplies at a beach but not fuel.

What do you have to do with ARs in lvl 1 ports, where you can't disband any TFs?
