Water logi

How effective is the current barge supplie system

[Derp123]

It CAN work but rarely does it... just cant carry enough to supply a front or a landing over a period of time... You either need a cargo ship or multiple barges doing logi, which takes forever...

Cargo ships is how landings get their supply since barge supplying is just a pain since you have to go between maps, you're slow af, gotta make the stuff, load it, maybe load a truck on the barge, etc. So it's just a long process in the place of where you need a quick process...

I HAVE seen successful landing that got supplies through barges, but that was in Farranac where the barges didnt have to go far (Just down to Victa to supply us up in at a northern beach) and we had a cargo ship AND a facility that produced Bmats for us... So it takes a lot more then just a few barges to supply something well enough for it to succeed

A couple wars ago, I tried running down supplies from Port of Rime (Weathered Expanse) to Stray (Umbal). Using a barge packed full of supplies loaded with a truck packed full of supplies, I was trying to cut down on the total amount of time it takes to deliver a given amount of goods (since truck + barge has twice the capacity of truck alone).

Ultimately, I think it's probably not worth the effort. At best, I think I broke even with just driving a truck via roads and doing twice as many trips. The barge is just super slow compared with an on-road truck. It also can be really finicky about where it will and won't put down the ramp, which eats up extra time and endangers the supplies. You also are incredibly vulnerable as a barge with no radar cover or defenses if some enemy ship crosses paths with you. Then there is the risk of leaving the supplies just sitting along the beach while you deliver the first truckload. At the end of the day, I think you're just too many eggs in a very slow basket trying to do barge logi.

I have a personal story to add. When Oar(Meme) Braker was added. I played as Wardens near the end of the first war we decided to naval invade the opening land west of the colonial port base. We called it operation choke. With a dozen infantry or so, 3 AC,s. 1 apc (i drove the way there) a CV and a gunboat. We had a goal of cutting of the road outside of colonial port base and give are front line a brake. ( we had no towns left on main land we were pushed back to thr long road to the port base. The trip there was uneventful. We landed and we secured the land for us we built a outpost. Set are spawn. Then some one told me to jump on the ac with them and the 3 acs started to push to the roads. We got counter attacked and all 3 acs were destroyed and to we changed the op name to thorn in there side to basically make them use resources on us. We lasted maybe 15 mins at most. Me and like 5 others jumped on the apc and left we later died in a rear line attack. Here is the big thing we had one guy go back to are home base with a barge to get us stuff. We did not get a drop. We also did not destroy a single colonial truck. Complete failure this shows how bad water logi is.
