How to play Warfare - Fast Travel and Rearming

 

Below you will find information on the different menus in Warfare, what you can do in each menu, and how to access certain features of the mission.

Fast Travel (FT) is accessed through the main WF menu. After opening the menu, click on Tactical Center. You will then see in the bottom left quadrant Fast Travel highlighted at the top of the list. All you have to do considering this is the default selection, is click on the 'request' button, then click on one of the yellow circles on the mini map. The map will start to scroll in the direction of travel. NOTE: when FT is active, you don't actually move anywhere, the game simulates you traveling across the map, but what actually happens is you teleport from one location to the next at the end of a timer based on distance traveled. So it is worthy of note to understand that while fast traveling you are vunerable and can be an easy static target while this is engaged.

 

To be able to FT, you need to be within range of the CC, or a town depot AND not have an enemy capture and camps in the town you are FT to or from.

 

 

Rearming. Rearming artillery, tanks, planes, etc can be done in several ways. Here i'm going to break it down in two categories: Free and Cost.

 

Free.

 

One method of rearming your plane/tank or whatever is to buy an ammunition truck. While this works great for tanks and planes, it does not work good for artillery. To use this method buy an ammunition truck and have your ai drive it close to whatever vehicle you need rearmed. When the truck is within 10m, you hit the * key on your number pad which allows 'free look' mode. You then look around the back of the truck until 'rearm' appears as a text. you click on this and it will rearm for free! Why this doesn't work well for artillery, is usually you have multiple artillery pieces and you would have to enter each one indvidually and have the ammo truck drive up to each one with you in the gunner seat.. This takes a long time.  Another method of free rearming/repairing/refueling is use the * free look method and look at a service point. Again you have to be withing 10m.

 

Cost.

This method works the same regardless of what you are trying to rearm. If you are wihin 50m of a SP , town depot or repair truck, access the Vehicle Service Point and select 'rearm' from the menu.. this is much faster when rearming multiple units, but it will cost you a fee.

Artillery is acessed by clicking on the top left quadrant in the Tactical Center. you will see a drop down list with the different types of artillery availible for your team. First thing you need to do is buy ai and assign them to an artillery piece. If you build a mortar for example (have to be commander to do this, or build one from a repair truck) it is important to note that if you are within range of the barracks, the base ai will auto man the piece. To counter this, either build outside the barracks range, or after the ai man the artillery, hop in the commander's seat, then change to the gunner's seat and get out. You will find the base ai has swapped seats - allowing you to place YOUR ai. So once your ai are in the gunner's seat, select the piece from the menu and then click on mini map for your target. NOTE: if you click on a target that is out of range or too close, the ai will shoot straight up in the air and kill themselves!!
