Prebuilt buildings in the campaign for certain companies

[Charly]

Hello

Simple question...

Why do some companies have more buildings built than others at the start of a mission. Some have a motor pool weapons support and barracks, some have just a barracks.

IS there some thing you have to buy?

Also, some companies start with additional units at the start of the mission, and some get a reinforcement for some reason (usually a rifleman). Whereas some companies just get the two units

Italian Campaign Mechanics is not fully explain well. I definitely notice in some mission I have a ton of infantry which I really don't need at the start of a mission. Giving your company with Detachment doesn't give extra unit but only campaign emplacement with those campaign emplacement they give you support abilities.

I am glad on those mission I have withdraw option on Partisan capture point. Sometimes the mission or skirmish doesn't offer withdraw option. Totally wish Withdraw option is part of MP and Skirmish.

I know Paratrooper upgrade you can get all Air support upgrade while on the Mission or Skirmish. High Level Company can skip most building tech but still need to build Heavy tank building in order to unlock heavy tanks while Low level Company need to build most building in order to unlock Heavy tank.

Also If two company are closer each you can get reinforcement ability of the company so can have early light tank.

Even some units in Italian Campaign doesn't have breaching option. It's one of the feature of the game but Campaign unit like the UK unit doesn't have this ability.

It depends on the type of company you use for that skirmish. Airborne starts the match with a Pathfinder squad while Special Forces get Captain Retinue. Armored starts with a motor pool iirc. And yes, you have to buy units from the upgrade menu to use them during real-time battles. Airborne starts without M3 halftrack, Special Forces start without M8 Greyhound, Indian Artillery starts without light vehicles (oof) and British Armoured without MG-team.

More interested in the buildings you start with (I understand the unit upgrade availability... although starting units can sometimes be boosted by extra dudes appearing out of nowhere)

For example my Airborne company sometimes starts with Weapon Support so I can build a MG out the gates, other times I have to build this one myself.

In terms of the campaign, the only company that I feel useful is the USSF. I rarely get a chance to field a tank, and the SF unit has swapable anti tank and MG capability. They also start the skirmishes with three units.

IMHO Paratroopers are overpriced and you have to pay to upgrade.

There are so many simple questions that are impossible to find the answer to. I'm not talking about strategy, but rather basic tutorial level mechanics. At least for the single player campaign stuff, don't no about mp. I am stunned this game has been out longer than a few weeks. A mailed in effort (once again unsure if applicable to mp) creates a 0 energy community. There should be wikias competing for your attention (their shouldn't really because cooperation on one site is more effective, but you get my meaning). Such wasted potential.

Part of what I do is write code for automation...different type of programming; but has still caused me to be much more hesitant to criticize gaming development. CoH3 should have been treated with so much more respect.
