Do you mean that initiative affects reloading supplies from trucks or just being able to shoot more times per hour? and if so, how much?
And talking about supplies, my guess is this:
- A unit that has supplies in its cargo hole can deliver a fixed percentage per hour of what it has left. Is that correct?
Thanks

is the initiative value also relative? for exemple, a unit with an initiative of 6 will fire twice more in a given time period than a unit with an initiative value of 3?


as a side question, will a unit with an higher initiative than it's opponment shoot first?

cheers,

IIRC this is not the case, there is a curved effect applied. Also, I'm fairly certain there is a hardcoded modifier per class so initiative 6 for a sub and 6 for a tank ar different.

yes, fairly sure that is how it works.

so it would mean that initiative value is only truly relative for a same class of vehicle, correct?
