483 ZombieFlanders Beta Testers 2,327 posts 3,235 battles Report post #2 Posted March 25, 2016 my first thought is usually tier of the ships damaged, but in both games you were top tier. maybe in the first match you did more damage to T3s and in the second more T4s? the way XP is calculated is shrouded in much mystery outside of the few vague things we know...maybe fire damage yields more than flooding? not sure. the percentage amount of damage done also counts, not just raw HP.

13 [SKD] Th3_Jedi Members 68 posts 7,324 battles Report post #3 Posted March 25, 2016 As I understand it, not all damage was created equal. 10K on a DD is worth more, since it is a greater portion of the ships HP pool. Would be good to get the science behind it though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
76 [MOLD] _Zergling Members 306 posts 4,921 battles Report post #4 Posted March 25, 2016 I got 1892 xp in the last Saipan contest and iirc I had almost 200k damage and 6 ships sunk. I think xp is based off your damage and ships sunk, but the biggest factor is getting a base capture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,228 [-AFK-] 10T0nHammer Members 7,321 posts 3,868 battles Report post #5 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Its based on ship health % not total health. A 10k DD at full health is worth more than a 70k BB at half health. Of course, it is a little more complicated then that. You still have tier difference and the class you are using. CVs get the worst multipliers for xp and credits compared to other classes. IE: a DD and a CV do the same amount of damage to the same targets, the DD will get more XP and credits than the CV.

2,197 Legendary_Typo Members 10,919 posts 4,873 battles Report post #6 Posted March 25, 2016 It depends on the percentage of damage to an enemy ship. Destroying a DD from full HP will give you the same exp as destroying a BB from full HP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Destroying a DD from full HP will give you the same exp as destroying a BB from full HP. to the best of my understanding under translation from posts the developers made long long long time ago (in this forum) taking liberties here --- don't hang me "all enemy ships are created equal" you get equal exp for destroying any of them --- scaled by the damage done to EACH one So 90% damage to a DD rewards the same as 90% damage done to a BB/CA/CV but their damage pools are vastly different so that means - greater reward for damage done --->> obliterate smallest ship first sinking a ship rewards are insignificant compared to this - and shooting down planes rewards "tips" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

145 Koschka Members 897 posts 7,381 battles Report post #10 Posted March 25, 2016 What everyone else said, plus different ships have different bonuses to xp and credits based on damage. Done, they did that a few patches back. If you go back and look in the patch notes some ships get more xp and credits per point of damage they do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's more rewarding for a player to fend for themselves in a CV by going after destroyers than it is to actually help their team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No clue, although capping in a CV usually gets the chat to go wild, I for one find it very honorabu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
