Is it an exploit to farm ambulances and other vehicles to salvage them with recovery sappers...

Never heard of this before. What's the returns on those ambulances?

Is it an exploit to farm other vehicles to salvage them with recovery sappers, and then use the resources to spam arty cover?

They are 200 MU each

Is that out of whack with other salvage values? I mean if Relic intended them to be worth that much, wouldn't it just be poor balance?

A ton of wrecks are missing wreck values and are thus unsalvageable for soviet tank hunter & brit tac ops salvaging. Wreck values are nonsensical in many cases (USF Ambulance is highest value salvage for munitions in the game, panther wreck is less valuable than a sherman wreck, etc). Numbers shown while salvaging don't really make any sense to the player either.

In particular almost no brew_up wrecks have cost, they can still be salvaged by OKW but not by brits or soviets.

Several wrecks lack the salvageable_object type which makes OKW salvage not work on them (Soviet Sherman, B4)

Cruzz.

so do u like get your partner to buy them or something? how often and consistent will this work? it dont seem that good to me, but rare reward if u find a broken one

It works every single time as long as you don't destroy the wreck.

It trades 250 MP 10 FU for 200 MU, which makes it the most favorable resource transfer in the game. The old fuel to ammo CAS ability, which was deemed too OP to keep existing, returned 150 MU for 50 FU. The Luftwaffe supply drops bring in (IIRC) 150 MU for 200 MP, which is close, but this is still way better since it can't be stolen.

It's even less, cause you can "use" the medics to cap/fight/recrew something. Can you salvage abandon vehicles right? Is it the same return ?

So, OP, you are saying that an ambulance gives the Brit player 200 muni in return for 200mp and 10fu?

That's OP as Fuck!

And what you will be do with that ammo, only with one bomb ability ? Its not CAS doc, its can be help in some situations, but to be hones abuse thing like this, is hard imo.
