Detailed Unit Info

[3RTR_Trooper]

Please can anyone supply an explanation of the information displayed in the Detailed Unit Info window? I would like a better idea of how much force to pit against enemy units and exploit their weaknesses.

Kind Regards,

Cliff

Not all inclusive, but here is a post by Merr from some time ago:

Penetration

The penetration works like this (something you don't see, but can read the values in the squadCSV data file) ;

APAttack[0] and APAttack[1] values are the base penetration values. The game
will randomly select a number within those two values to generate a base
penetration value.

Example ... Sherman ;

APAttack[0] = 76
APAttack[1] = 169

APEffective[0]-[4] values are the percentage multiplier at the given range.
The [0]-[4] is the range(tiles), as follows ;

Range 1 = APEffective[0]
Range 2 = APEffective[1]
Range 3 and 4 = APEffective[2]
Range 5 and 6 = APEffective[3]
Range 7+ = APEffective[4]

Example ... Sherman APEffective[0]-[4] ;

APEffective[0] = 83 ... 83% of APAttack at range 1.
APEffective[1] = 83 ... 83% of APAttack at range 2.
APEffective[2] = 67 ... 67% of APAttack at ranges 3 and 4.
APEffective[3] = 53 ... 53% of APAttack at ranges 5 and 6.
APEffective[4] = 42 ... 42% of APAttack at ranges 7 and greater.

Summary Example ... Sherman penetration at ranges below ;

Range 1 and 2 ... (76-169) * 83% = 63-140
Range 3 and 4 ... (76-169) * 67% = 50-113
Range 5 and 6 ... (76-169) * 53% = 40-89
Range 7+ .......... (76-169) * 42% = 31-70

Now, compare that value above with the Armour[0]-[3] vales for the Panther ;

Front ... Armour[0] = 140
Side .... Armour[1] = 60
Rear ... Armour[2] = 60
Top .... Armour[3] = 30

Note that the Sherman cannot penetrate the Panther front armour, however, it
can penetrate the Panthers side armour 100% of the time, at ranges 1 or 2.
At longer ranges, you can see that it can penetrate the side armor, but not 100% of the time.

If you set the Tooltips option to Using Detailed on the Advanced Options screen, you will get details on how the unit stats factor into the overall kill chance.

Andrew, is there a key or explanation of what the stat categories mean in the "Using Detailed" from the Advanced Options?

I am not aware of any additional explanatory text. The detailed tooltips when selecting potential targets show the details of the combat calculations used to determine overall kill chance or effectiveness and how the stats are used in that situation.

Thanks, Andrew!

Thank you Andrew! That's exactly what I wanted. I expect to loose less frequently now
