LCUs getting bombarded increases EXP?

Post by Sieppo »

Does it really happen? Is there a cap to it? Haven't really noticed it happening at least in the more experienced units..

Yes it happens. Combat of any kind yields experience. That's why it doesn't pay to bombard turn in and turn out simply because you don't have sufficient strength to assault unless that bombardment is producing results worth the trade off in experience gains you are giving the enemy.

I have not noticed aerial bombardment or naval bombardment increasing ground troop experience, though. Just FYI.

Thanks. I meant ART-bombardment. I'm not sure about the terms :)..

As witpqs points out I may have overstated the "combat of any kind", but artillery bombardment definitely does provide experience gains.

I wasn't disagreeing, just noting that the other kinds don't seem to increase exp. [8D]

Correct with my observations. Allied CHI troops can gain 1% exp per day with bombardment. That is why I don't do it, ever.

counterpoint-IIRC bombardment of any kind will produce damage to base or units which will keep them from not increasing fortifications. Please correct me if I am wrong..

Just coming back to game now, but I do believe you are correct bigred. One caveat I recall: the bombardment has to produce some sort of base damage, i.e. airfields or port.

No, you are wrong.

Artillery bombardment does not hit the base infrastructure.

I was doing my next turn and it occured to me this topic was primarily about LAND bombardment. My answer needed to explain that only types that would cause base damage should have been specified. Alfred beat me to it :)

CMIIAW, base damage will stop in-hex fort and construction. Art bombardment will not stop fort construction.

edit- apology if I hijacked the thread topic. Topic caused me to raise this question...

That is correct bigred. Even a single point of base damage detours them doing upgrades to the base to doing repairs for that turn. I have seen this mentioned in many AARs, forum posts, and performed it in limited fashion myself.
