The "Extended Combat Prediction" is not available on the iPad yet, correct? How useful/important is it, do other players use it, do other iPad players miss it, too? I feel it might clear things up sometimes.....
P.S.: Same thing regarding the after-action Combat Details, by the way.

I've only played on the Ipad. This sounds cool though.

Hello, I've never played the iPad version so it is difficult to compare, but I think the Extended Combat Prediction and the Combat Log are very useful in analyzing and understanding what happens during combat. I think it is a pity it is not yet available for the iPad, but hopefully it will be added later.

And actually, they are pretty much the same thing. The Combat Log show exactly how the dice rolls were made and any contributing factors to the outcome, the Extended Combat Prediction just mentions any known contributing factors and uses average dicerolls to estimate the outcome (note that it won't predict what happens if, for example, some previously unspotted artillery or AAA gun suddenly intervenes).

I still use it a lot, to check if a bad combat was due to any error I made or just bad luck. So for me it helps to understand when I've made an error in judgement that I need to improve upon or when I can just blame the random number generator (RNG) for any bad outcomes. But, on the other hand, without having the combat log it's easier to blame the RNG if anything goes wrong... :wink:

I've played on both PC and ipad version, and found the extended combat prediction (ECP) very useful to show you all the factors for the battle which are or are not considered. ( esp if I can't remember them all) are three any plans to include ECP for the ipad as I use ipad more than laptop for ease of use as travel a lot. Also u mentioned a combat log, how does one view combat log on ipad and PC versions? Thanks

Hello LoneWolfGSY, the combat log can be viewed on the PC version by pressing 'L' after a combat.
