Aux2Bat and Attack Patterns...

I'm playing with a few ideas for some FAW carriers and I look like I have some free tac slots, I was wondering does A2B bring APO to near cooldown or could I fit in a APB in there somewhere too?

let's do the math!

omega has 30 sec dublicate CD and 15 sec runtime.
beta has 15 sec dublicate CD and 10 sec (actually 15 sec) runtime

you activate omega...beta goes on a 15 sec dublicate cd, omega is on it's 1 min cd...

now you hit a2b, beta is unaffected, but omega lost nearly 20 sec of that minute (it is actually just 18 with 3 purple technicians, but between activation more than a second will probably pass)

15 sec later, dublicate cd of beta is over and is ready to be activated.
engage...30 sec cd on beta

you hit a2b...-9 sec (lets say 10, again because of activation time)
omega is already well below its dublicate cd timer (indicated by the horizontal line moving down each second) and is therefore not affected by the a2b we pressed

so roughly when the APbeta CD is over the APomega cd is too...

so yes you can activate one inbetween. So depending on which you need in the situation at hand, both should be simultaniously available...although omega still has 30 sec dublicate cd which means 50% uptime, where beta has a 100% uptime if you fire at something in that 10th second of it's duration.

As an English speaking person I have never seen the word "dublicate" ever

What does it mean?

Do you mean "duplicate"?

As far as I can tell removing it from what you have written does not change any of the intent, meaning nor grammar.

As far as I can tell it is redundant in what you have written.

I am not trolling here - just immensely curious...

I can see the word concurrent fitting in....
