On the game with my loss, I focused dds the whole game, The win, I didn't get many shots at dds....I did cap and defend.....The math/money is all about shooting dd's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing in this matrix makes sense except a ridiculous payout for damaging dd's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
42 Scytheon Members 93 posts 6,252 battles Report post #7 Posted November 12, 2017 Could be wrong, but I believe dmg xp is awarded based on %hp. Ex 10k to a bb is about equal to 1k to a dd. really highlights the absurdity of full penetrations from bbs on dds to some degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,470 [NG-NL] Reymu Members 7,280 posts 13,074 battles Report post #8 Posted November 12, 2017 Just lost a match in part because our strike Lexington didn't focus down the red DDs. He only went after BBs and cruisers to pad his damage, and ended up part of the reason we lost badly. Reminded him to focus the DDs, but he was rude. He couldn't even bother using a DoT approach to make his 4 bomber groups worth something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is definitely the way it looks, however in the loss you did manage a dev strike and did more overall damage ...I too am at a loss as to why more in the first game ....just trying to figure it out...Looking through old screenies and found this: Though I don't have the after battle report I do remember that I killed at least 3 DDs in this one....you're making a believer out of me, I will keep a closer eye on the breakdown after this......Hmmmmmmm.........

17,929 [WOLF5] HazeGrayUnderway Members 39,247 posts 31,549 battles Report post #11 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) You can have a s--t 30k damage high tier performance, but if that 30k damage was done on DDs, that's good money and XPs. It's based on the %, so good hits on DDs is hitting the Pinata several times for more candy to fall out. It's far more rewarding to hit lower max HP ships than it is gargantuan, large HP ships like Battleships. There's also the common theme that the team that loses their DDs first tends to have an uphill battle to win. If the other team still has stealth DDs, then it gets even worse. You kill off the last Torp DD in the enemy team, let your team know and remind them. If the BBs are worth anything, they get a lot bolder when they know they don't have to worry about something like a Fujin, Clemson, Fletcher, Shimakaze lurking around anymore.

This would imply that the pinata can be bashed for a little longer, at least by ships whose salvoes don't insta-delete them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
