PBEM campaign end game points

[Imp]

I am not sure but I think you only get the points back if you sell the unit not if you downgrade it. Never really paid enough attention but if you are playing computer reload & do following.

Sell a formation & buy a new one to see if get points back. I think yes
Also as intreasted but never confirmed.
Obviosly replacing a destroyed unit costs same as
Reparing a damaged unit costs part of points.
Now the question.
If you upgrade a damaged unit I think repairing it first is wasting points as it will still cost the same.
I actually prefer to save my points & upgrade a whole formation at once rather than doing piecemeal.
So if new tanks available I do not buy till I can replace the entire formation rather than having a mix in transition phase.

You do have to sell the entire formation to get points back. When you do that, you are selling the equipment and the crew.

Any change within a formation will cost points without anything in return, but you are keeping your crew and putting them equipping them differently. Because the equipment is different, their experience will take a hit, but it only seems to be in the range of a 10-15% drop.

As far as "downgrading", I don't believe the game recognizes the changes as such. To you, it might be a "downgrade", but to the game it's just a "change" and that change will cost you points.

Ok, thanks for that. I was trying change and fix screens, never thought of expand core.

Selling is a completely different operation from repairing or upgrading.

Selling gives you the buy points back, but deletes the experienced crew.

Even if a unit was "destroyed" - there is a small chance a survivor of the original crew can remain to make up a more experienced new crew than just a bunch of newbies. Especially if there is a crew unit that survived the unit's destruction.

If you are going to upgrade a unit, then there is no point in repairing it first if it is damaged. Just do the upgrade.

If you upgrade the same unit more than once in the same repair session, you have wasted points and also the quality of the crew may have gone down several times as you confused them with 2 or more retraining courses. So don't change your mind.
