Combat Calculations

[MyloH42]

How does BA2 calculate combat ?

Basically, what do the numbers mean and how are the odds calculated ? How does it get to the final kill number ?

How is AP calculated ? How is HE calculated ?

For eg. If a Panzer IV shoots at a T-34 frontal at a range of 6, both in the open, nobody moves, what is the final kill number ?
How would terrain, moving, etc., etc., change the calculation ?

I'm having a hard time figuring out the math behind this game.

Thanks,

Myles.

Try turning on the detailed tooltips, in the Advanced Options page. It details many of the values and formulas that the game uses. You can also read through the scripts themselves if you want to dig deeper (in DATA/BATTLE/SCRIPTS).
