Title: Troop transport??
Post by: Tor Cha on February 23, 2017, 10:17:04 PM
Just what is needed to Haul troops around??
I have to think that You need A Small or Normal troop Bay correct?
if your carrying More than a Single Company You need a Batt, or Multiple Company's.
But to Move a Construction Brigade (size 25) you would need either 5 Battalion's or 25 Company's of transport?
Correct??
For a Low tech (size 50) you need 10 Batt's or 50 Company's?
For the Equipment Your Hauling around a Cargo Hold or 2? Or say a Small Cargo Per Company, a Normal/Standard Cargo hold for A Batt?( that would Mean than for a Construction Brigade i would need 5 Standard Cargo Holds to Carry the Tools and Equipment? ) & ( for a Low tech i would need 2x that( 10 standard Cargo Hold's?))

Just today mostly answered under Academy: Transportation of Construction brigade (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=9413.0)

1x Troop Transport Bay has capacity for 1 standard battalion
1x Small Troop Transport Bay has capacity for 1 standard company = 0.2 battalion
Marine Company is 5 times smaller than standard battalion -> you need just 1x Small Troop Transport Bay
Construction Brigade is 5 times bigger than standard battalion -> you need 5x Troop Transport Bay
Low tech divisions are 10 times bigger than standard battalion -> you need 10x Troop Transport Bay

In short, the "size" in Ground forces article (http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Ground_forces#Summary%20Table) shoud be divided by 5 to match "capacity" in Troop Transport Bay article (http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Troop_Transport_Bay#Variants)
