Is it possible to build a small artillery base with 3 people?

[MANKIND]

I have a regiment who I play with, I joined them yesterday. But I have two more casual friends who I think wont be wanting to join one, so I was wondering if its possible to build a small base with just 3 people?

artillery bases, by their very nature, are large. The tech requirement to unlock arty is a full investment.

even if we place one or two artillery pieces only?

[Bobucles]

The minimum size to unlock storm canons is 40 pieces, and it takes FIVE players to squad lock one. There's nothing small about it.

Small bases are a couple of guns and walls to protect harvesters at a scrap field, or an observation outpost.

It may be more effective to join a clan that specializes in base building. Then just pick one of their bases and use it to hang out with your pals.

I see, is it possible to build small production facilities with 3 players? Like a factory with 1 or 2 vehicle production lines

bro the entire game is about large scale what are you smoking?

Hey he's not complaining just asking if it's possible, the scale of the game is not easy to judge when you aren't experienced, as I have found out myself lol.

This game isn't factorio. Every building takes player effort to supply and maintain, and there is overwhelmingly more factories in the world than players right now.

it only takes a handful of structures to supply everyone in the entire hex. Build 1 diesel plant, 2 vehicle production lines inside the main city and you've basically solved vehicle production for that entire hex. Early tech oil only needs 3-4 refineries to go with the pumps. Base building only needs 1-2 things to pump out cmats. There's no need to build them, because you can find them everywhere in the wild and they can't be locked.

you seem not to own a lot to intelligence, so I don't think I will even waist my time with you.

I see, thanks for the info.

I was solo and build two bases with full tech, and big concrete defences...

Three people - definitely yes.

how long did it take you?

[Vaiseri]

Depends, teching stuff on a base takes time, like concrete and howitzers if that's what you want, otherwise can take a day or two, to weeks even.

[Bobucles]

Teching takes a few days, drying concrete takes a day, and dealing with bunker supply upkeep will take a few hours every day. Make sure the base is really important, junk bases get left to die.

Yeah, yeah. Welcome to foxhole! Most of what you see are toy bases. They get built, experimented for a bit, and left to die. That's just human nature, enjoy watching reality crash down on your ideals.

Ultimately, the meta is in chaos and bunker defenses are much weaker than previous wars. This is the partisan war, enjoy it because there isn't more partisan candy than this.

you can be a pretty efficient mortar team with 3 people!
