Command Auras

Post by Death_Kitty »

I looked for it here, found a few posts that were supposed to come later, but they never did so...

What are the exact percentages on the aura bonuses for command units (and if there is a radius for said auras that anyone knows, that would be cool as well ;)

Tanks in advance!

Legend:
Suppression = how fast the ATTACKING unit suppresses targets
Received suppression = how much faster/slower the unit which is being shot at gets suppressed
Cooldown time = each bullets-firing weapon has a magazine. When the magazine is empty the weapon needs to RELOAD. Before the magazine is empty, the weapon has some duration between each shot/burst - this duration is COOLDOWN, so "cooldown reduction" = fires the content of magazine faster.

US Captain: (applies to all US infantry except for AB units)
Vet0:
Received suppression: -50%
Sight radius: +25% (this is the reason why Spotters under command aura have so huge sight)
Accuracy: +12.5%
Vet2:
Received experience: +25%
Weapon cooldown time: -10%
Weapon reload time: -10%
Received Damage: -15%
Vet4:
Weapon damage: +15%
Pop cap: +4 (Remnant of vCoH system - in BK is not very useful as people play with fixed 250 pop cap)

US HQ Squad: (applies to US AB units only - aura radius is 60 instead of the normal 40)
Vet0:
Received suppression: -15%
Sight radius: +25%
Accuracy: +12.5%
Damage: +2.5%
Received experience: +15%
Vet2:
Received experience: +10%
Weapon cooldown time: -10%
Weapon reload time: -10%
Vet4:
Weapon damage: +15%
Pop cap: +4

US M20 Command Venicle: (applies to all US vehicles)
Attack aura:
Penetration: +25%
Accuracy: +50%
Range aura:
Max range: +10
Max sight: +10
Defensive aura:
Received accuracy: -75%
Weapon accuracy: -75%

CW Commando Captain: (applies to Commandos infantry only)
Vet0:
Received suppression: -15%
Sight radius: +25%
Accuracy: +12.5%
Damage: +2.5%
Vet2:
Received experience: +25%
Received suppression: -15%
Weapon cooldown time: -10%

Pop cap: +4

CW Lieutenant: (applies to all CW infantry except for Commandos units)
Vet0:
Accuracy: +10% (does NOT stack when more LTs are nearby)
Damage: +2.5% (stacks when more LTs are nearby)
Damage: +2.5% (does NOT stack when more LTs are nearby)
Makes units move faster if in enemy/neutral territory (does NOT stack when more LTs are nearby)
Vet1:
Enables "Heroic Charge" ability (for details check Numbers behind abilities)
Vet2:
Weapon reload speed: -10% (stacks when more LTs are nearby)
Received experience: +15% (does NOT stack with other XP bonus providing modifiers)
Received suppression: -10%
Weapon cooldown speed: -10%
Vet3:

You can have multiple Lieutenants and their bonuses stack on infantry so the bonuses are overall lower than bonuses of Officers of other factions.
Stacking: When you have 1LT near your troops he provides the +2.5% damage and at the same time another +2.5% damage but when another LT comes he only provides additional +2.5 damage so when two LTs command one squad they have +7.5% damage (not +10%) and in the same way 3LTs provide +10% damage instead of expected +15%.

Thanks for this, I was missing this info. Vet 3 for all the infantry officers is increased command aura range if i am not mistaken.

Does the CW Commando Captain apply Captain bonuses to commandos, both lieutenant and captain, or something else?

He is up there; he gives his own bonuses.

As far as I know command aura range stays the same in each level and the radius is the same for all the infantry commanders except for AB HQ squad who has bigger radius.

I remember seeing "improved command aura" float above the officers head, but wasn't 100% certain of when or if it did increase the range. I went and tested to verify and see and it happens on Vet 2 and the officer did effect units that were further out.

1 quick question: do commando units and weapon crews get defensive bonuses while being in normal captain sector?

Can we get this topic updated with propaganda officer and correct stats for other command units if there were changes after 4 years?
