In a previous question Loki gave me some usefull tips But there are several aspects of Trucks I do not understand

As an example I have a depot at Florence

On the pop up
Trucks 755
received 6634
stored 64335
sent out 2263
unit truck use 5394

What I don't understand is the unit truck usage is
When I look at the detailed supply page for the 2 individual units and air base being supplied from Florence there is no use of vehicles shown in the use columns columns I would expect them to add up to 5394
so what does the unit truck use on the depot pop up represent

THANK YOU

I have noticed there is no reply to my question which is unusual
Is that because my question is not very clear ?

Thank you

Your question is clear, but I think the traffic on this forum has gone down because many players are focusing on the upcoming release of WitE2. It is unclear how a depot's unit truck use is being computed. Right now I am looking at the Al Khums depot, which is supplying just one airfield. I can confirm this because the depot shipped out 303 tons of supplies and the airfield reports that it received 303 tons. The depot shows unit truck use as 4466 even though the airfield has only 220 trucks total. I do not have an explanation for the difference.

Tony,

Sorry that I didn't reply, but I don't know the details of that part of the game so stayed silent.

Would need far more information to even start to offer a view than you've provided. At the least a screenshot would help.

I'd suggest that section 20.1.7 and 20.5 of the manual applies, its the number of trucks taken from units that are interacting with that depot.

I think I have managed to upload a screenshot of Florence depot pop up but the question is really more of a general Question.

a) what does the unit truck use on the depot pop up represent. I had always thought that it was unit trucks picking up supplies from the depot because the depot had run out of trucks but is this correct

b) when looking at the detailed supply page I thought that the used column was the number of trucks the unit was using to ferry supplies from the depot to the unit. is this the case

c) I thought if I added the lorries used in the individual unit supply detail page for all units and airbases drawing supply from the depot it would equal the unit truck use shown in the depot pop up ie 15417 as in the screenshot for florence But it always seems to be a lot less and I can't work out why
