Unable to repair SM bikes (Games : Dawn of War : Mods : Ultimate Apocalypse Mod (DOW SS) : Forum : Feedback : Unable to repair SM bikes) Locked

Heya all.

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. In a squad of three space marine bikes (1 attack bike + 2 regular), if they get damaged, you can use a servitor or other repair unit to heal them up. Problem is, is that they only heal the "center" unit (usually the attack bike), regardless of what you click on. Any way to resolve this? If not, is the only work around just to recruit bikes individually, and not increase the squad size? Thanks!

Odd.. Bikes should not be repairable as they are considered as infantry although granted a bike is a vehicle in itself so....

So yer saying that if you build the single bike its repairable BUT then reinforce it with additional members then only a select # of bikes then become repairable? Does this happen with other vehicle-like squads that can reinforce?

I haven't played in depth with as many factions as I have with the Space Marines, so I can't confirm your last question. But yes, single bikes are repairable, but squads of bikes only have a single bike in the squad being repaired. It would make more sense if they were considered infantry, but the problem with that is, if you stick an apothecary near them, they won't heal. And they don't heal on their own. So, pretty much after one skirmish, you have almost dead bikers without an easy way to heal them.

Then maybe make them all not be repairable as I have never seen infantry squads be repairable by a builder. Engine-limitation.

The bikes are repairable. I do that often. They cost 2 inf, 1 vehicle pop though, so i always thought of them as vehicles.

But is each individual bike unit repairable? Because they sure aren't in my game (and I'm using the newest version released yesterday)

I'll test that, tbh my bikes don't last till they can be reinforced, i usually switch to dreadnoughts by then. xD
