damage dealt by shoz

[Tomky]

Hello,

Im wondering how exactly is damage dealt by shooting enemy calculated. For example Agamemnon's broadside damage should be (26x125 + 26x104 + 12x65) 6734 which is clearly not the actual damage dealt to enemy with succefull broadside. the actual damage is much less maybe 2-3k per broadside.

does anyone know these damage mechanics?

You calculate numbers for both broadsides. Divide by 2 for one broadside.

Distance also plays a role even if it pens.

The thickness of the ship is absorbing initial damage. The more damaged ship, the more damage it will receive. That's why first broadside doesn't hurt that much, especially on tanky ships.

So double ball is more effective in the lte fight?. So first go balls and than for final blows double?

hard to suggest a straight yes or no answer for these.

some would argue that double ball is better first, but it's entirely situational on the angel of attack and if you can get a perfect broadside.

Another thought you have to consider if that the damage of the ball is reduced based on distance.
