[1.31h] Wrong combat modifiers in Tank vs Walker combat

Post by ydmatrix2 »

I'm using medium tanks to attack walkers (Sentinel, Guardians Minor AI).

1. According to Manual (5.12.3.8), Walkers should have +50% Hard Attack value and +25% Hard Defense value.
This bonus is not shown anywhere in the attack/counter-attack values in the combat log of Sentinels against tanks.

2. Similarly, as I think buggies are classified as Tanks, this should appear (but doesn't) in attacks of Sentinels vs the buggies in this combat as well.

3. Separately, occasionally the walkers have a +3500% unit feat mod in combat log which is unexplained. The ai units have Assassing Androids and Warrior Android, which have different unit feat mod values. In the combat log screenshots you have see subunit Sentinel (115) sometimes with, and sometimes without the +3500% unit feat mod applied, for no reason I understand.

Attached combat log screenshot, a save file post combat, and a save file from end of previous turn (so you can replay combat - attack from 3 directions into hext (162,39)).

Screenshots (by prefix):
01 - tank attacks walker (sentinel 114)
02 - walker (sentinel 114) counter-attacks tank (no hard attack bonuses vs tanks)
03 - buggy (cooper plus II) attacks walker (sentinel 115) (walker has unit feat mod +3500%, instead of +200% for Assassin Android)
04 - walker counter attacks buggy (no hard attack bonuses vs tanks)
05 - tank attacks walker (sentinel 115), this time without unit feat mod +3500%)

Hi,

Big thx!

1. Its applied to the weapons stats when designing a Model... already integrated when doing combat.

2. Yes buggies classify as tanks.

3. Found a bug in the combat code. The 3500 was over the top indeed. Fixing for next patch ! Also you can get high percentages as its possible for 2 or more unit feats to be embedded with same individual. This is not properly shown in the textual logs. Making a note for future improvement here.

best wishes,
Vic
