The Ground War

Ground units are an extremely important part of DDCS. They are going to defend your MOBs and FOBs from enemy aircraft and ground units. One of the most important tasks that you can provide for your coalition is to sling in defensive ground units at your frontline MOBs and FOBs in order to both resist being pushed back and providing a footing for offensive operations.

In addition to being a defensive platform, tanks and other mobile ground units play an important role in offensive operations to push into enemy territory and capturing MOBs and FOBs.

### Units available to each player

**NOTICE! (AS OF 4/1/2023):**

- Acquisitions are now no longer personal, we moved to a global combat power system

- Global Combat Power Acquisitions can be changed by admins on the fly, to increase/decrease server load depending on patch/battle

- Global Acquisition current limits can be found through the f10 menu acquisition, the numbers represent groups!

- We will be monitoring the balance with this and make sure it stays balanced

- Anyone can build up to the acquisition combat power limit, please use the transport system to move your units to the front line

* If the unit consists of a single object (i.e. 1 tank) and is damaged down to even 1% it will repair and reload the unit.
* If the unit is a group of objects (i.e. SAM system) and the unit is damage down to as low as 1% it will repair and reload the entire group. However, if any part of the SAM system is completely destroyed it will not reload or repair.
