v1.4.0 I'm in a Funk. I keep getting Vamped.

[Otto Halfhand]

What are the proper care and feeding instructions for the Funkwagon?
I haven't a clue on its proper uses.

[GodlikeDennis]

Half a liter of fuel a day and plenty of oil.

Put it in an enemy territory. The deeper you go the better. It will draw a line back to the nearest of YOUR connected territories, and drains some of the resources of every enemy sector through that line. It's cloaked now so it's easier to do. The infantry spotting on the minimap is extremely useful if you have hummels and pretty useful anyway. I don't think it matters what territory you put it in for the population drain. A certain amount of population will always be removed from their pop cap. This is its most powerful aspect during team games where population is actually an important factor.

Thanks mate. That sucker has been annoying me for a long while.

It also "cuts" the territory.

I have read that and tried it out, but for me it only takes resources from the 1 territory I put it in. I've put it in different territories too; same thing.

[Rikard Blixt]

You only get resources from the territory you put it in, it removes enemy resources from more however.

Tovarich. a most helpful link. Thank you! Does anyone know if the Funkwagon's resource denial ability is based upon a straight line path through enemy resources from the unit to one's GHQ/T0? Or does it operate on a path like the retreat to base function?

[RedGuard]

whatever enemy territory(supply line) is connected/runs through the sector the funkwagen is deployed in is denied resources.

So if you set it up in the first resource point the enemy capped at the start of the game every point that they capped after that, that also runs through that sector is effected. so hard to explain in words

No many people know the real strength of this vehicle. That's kinda people forget the Logistik Kompanie is a building which is kinda scorched earth non doctrial. Scoutcars cap & lock down, ammo halftracks place mines on roads and vampires can destroy bridges with their goliaths. Very powerful.

[Crinkle]

Whenever i use the vamp halftrack it is never for resource stealing.

i generally go as scorched earth or tank destroyer so i use the vamp for recon.

i always lock down in an area that the enemy wouldnot normally wallk through clost to their base so that i can find the normal routes taken by the opponents troops.

If scortched earth i use this to drop flame traps and mines along the most likely areas of encounter that i am aware of.

If tank destroyer i use the tank awareness to see the tanks and anti-tank guns that my opponent may have.

Vampires are awesome! I think I might just start playing PE

When i play on my fav map (Vire River Valley) i use its goliath drop to destroy bridges that are being overrun. it has more armor than a goliath so you dont have to waste a goliath trying to get it to a bridge w/o being destroyed
