Naval HQs - 9/25/2010 8:22:25 AM

Status: offline 		Hi

now that I´ve got a couple of nav HQs in my PBEM as the Allied I wondered how they look like.

240 support...

support? As a naval HQ? Shouldn´t that be NAVAL support? My air HQs got air support, my Army HQs got support and my naval HQs also only got support? What am I expected to do with them if they only have support? Guess they won´t work like an Army HQ to be used for an assault? So with 240 support they are not more than a US base force but these at least got some other squads and devices.

Is it correct that these HQs have support squads instead of naval support?

thanks

I already did and the manual said "helps speed up ship repair". Couldn´t make out any change in the "ship repair times" that are listed though. Can´t do much more than setting the HQ to combat mode so I´m not sure if I´ve done something wrong or if you can make out any change in the repair times.

There was this old theory in WITP that a naval HQ increases the port by three levels, no idea if this is still true and no idea if it helps at all if it is at a level 9 port anyway as the oppinions on this even were differing in WITP.

Well its a way back, but i remember some discussion about this in the 1st or 2nd patch. IIRC they use to be naval support squads, but it was changed. I cant recall the exact reasoning, but maybe Don or John can remember and answer. Might have been some along the lines of HQ are admin units/personal/clerks where as naval support squads is more of a labor type unit so having as naval support squads was sorta off. <insert admiral name> prolly didnt spend too much time unloading xAKs.

Hope it helps,

Rasmus

makes sense but would a General be repairing aircraft? I would have expected no HQ to have anything else but support but air HQs are full of aviation support too. I just wanted to make sure it´s correct that a naval HQ only got support. And it still doesn´t solve my problem of what I´m expected to do with them as they´ve got no nav support and so far I couldn´t make out any help in repairing my ships as the repair time doesn´t change at all, no matter if HQ in base or not.

There seems to be such things as Naval Air HQ which just seem to be Air HQ with a nationality of USN. Is this the one you are referring to?

no, I meant any air HQ but if naval HQs aren´t supposed to have nav support then that´s fine with me.

thanks guys

I have used a grand total of 1,500 so far and I am accumulating them at a rate of 1,200 per month. Why give us so many if so few units actually use them?
