Many of you players are confused by this mode reinforcement system, it is quite different from Invasion. I was finally able to make some screenshots before and after reaching each station to show you how many (or if at all) reinforcements the attacking side will get.
As you know in Invasion mode the attacking side whenever they capture a point will get extra reinforcements (that vary on each capture point) up to 1000 points in total, and they will get these reinforcements independently from their current tickets left, it can be 0 points, it can be 999 points. In short, you are guaranteed to receive some reinforcements after capturing a point as attacker.
Now, in Armored Train mode the attacking side may or may not get extra reinforcements on each station, it is dependent on their current tickets number when reaching specific station. From my observation it looks like that:
- Upon reaching 1st Station the attacking side will get extra reinforcements if they are below 750 tickets left and they will get only up to 750 tickets treshold, if above 750 no extra reinforcements gain.
Example, 1st Station before capture and after:
=
- Upon reaching 2nd Station the attacking side will get extra reinforcements if they are below 600 tickets left and they will get only up to 600 tickets treshold, if above 600 no extra reinforcements gain.
Example, 2nd Station before capture and after:
=
- Upon reaching 3rd Station the attacking side will get extra reinforcements if they are below 350 tickets left and they will get only up to 350 tickets treshold, if above 350 no extra reinforcements gain.
Example, 3rd Station before capture and after (this time I was a little late with making screenshot but for about 2-3 seconds after capture, the attacking team had still 359 tickets left and then it went down to 349, it means somebody spawned taking reinforcements from the pool):
=
A small disclaimer, I believe the attacking team can get in total 1000 bonus reinforcements from all stations. I remember one battle in which the attacking team was low on tickets on 1st Station, then on 2nd Station (they were almost at 0 tickets, got up to 600) and when still much below 350 on 3rd Station they did not receive any more reinforcements, but this is just my assumption.
