RDP cycles have ALWAYS been variable
we try to gauge the expected length of a campaign, based on progress across the gameworld in one direction or another, and ensure that all 3 tiers will see action before the campaign ends, but at the same time not arrive in tier 3 so quickly that we get stuck there for an inordinate period of time
(this is a black magic voodoo kind of thing to guess right, because no campaign is the same as any other, 1 might last 2 weeks and another 8 weeks or more)
RDP tiers have NEVER been a fixed length at any time in the games history, so expecting them to last different lengths of time would be normal, rather than not
lol i totally did not know this
even the ahc trainer field manual says rdp bombing affects resupply at fixed rates (it also says those rates change periodically but there is no explaination as to why)
did any of you guys know that the rats arbitrarily change the rdp timers?
