I wanted to have my RBs reset if possible: I'm new to EiR (my account creation data can confirm this) and have only been playing for a couple of weeks, so I didn't really know how RBs functioned.  I placed 14 RBs into MP, and got only 500 for the trouble.  It's a huge waste, and since there was a reset a few days ago, I'm hoping it wouldn't be too much trouble to do it one more time -- and I don't think this opens the door for everyone to start asking for the same thing, as this isn't about mis-assigning RBs (which you have to live with) but more about not having the info to make the right choices as a new player.

14 RBs into Manpower = 700.  In fact, you can't even divide 14 into 500 evenly.  Looks like you still may not have the information you need to place them properly.

You're still usually better off putting them into munitions or fuel (if you are armored or blitz)

You can get 4 volkssquads with 14 RB, or two LMGs/schreks on existing squads.


Looks pretty comparable to me.

I have about 12 extra volks squads sitting there to use as a clean up crew with no rps into MP its not comparable I would much rather have 2 lmgs.

Really doesn't matter from what I can tell: after applying the 14 RBs into MP, I had the same number of platoons that I had before I got the bonus (and I didn't change their configs at all, just resupplied them with the units killed).  Don't ask me how, but that's the case.  Also, though it calculates a 700 MP bonus for that amount of RBs, I only actually got 500 more after resupplying.  So what did I gain really for that huge sacrifice in RBs?  Pretty much nothing.  Hence, investing RBs into MP = flushing them down the toilet if you ask me.

You don't get 1%, you get 50 for each you put into Manpower, 15 for each you put into Munitions, and 10 for each you put into fuel. 

You start with 1250 fuel.

I have 35 points into fuel.  That's +350 fuel.

1250 + 350 = 1600, which is exactly how much fuel I have.

Then use your volks more? Maybe your playstyle encourages use of muni more, but mine doesn't. I'd love to have 4 more volkssquads, it's basic infantry I tend to run out of.

Yes I can add too, but you're missing the point.  Taking your fuel example (just wanna be clear, we're talking about MP though) +350 is not what I got: what I got for 14 RBs into MP was 500.  So for one, maybe there was a miscalculation.  Second, it doesn't matter, cause even 700 MP is a paltry bonus for 14 RBs invested imo.

And does silence mean disapproval on this forum when you make a request?  Has someone who can process the request even read my post?

RBs are pretty much free. You gain after each battle, so I don't see why you need to reset them. Just reassign all your future RB into resourses you think it would have more effect on your company.

Edit:If it was bought by RL Money then sure, you should be able to reassign.

The reason you've been getting nothing in return for your RBs is probably because the prices of units are currently in balance fluctuation, so you must be using more of something that went up in price Tongue

Yeah, I was thinking that too, but it's the CPs I got that's giving me pause.  In any case, I get the drift...Not happy about it, but I guess I'll have to suck it up.
