Common method to determine naval values

[macgregor]

I'm curious from those who have made scenarios(or not but like myself, have contemplated the task)who have come up with a formula to determine naval values. There's speed, attack, defense, agility, shell weight, and range. Toaw3 is generic. Toaw4 deserves more I think. I like what I've seen in some new scenarios, but they're all different.

I'd like to post a list of all ship classes and their more unique combat values for TOAW. I think the TOAW community in general would benefit from any possible standardization of the format. Perhaps naval planes as well. Anyway, I'm just going to hopefully open a discussion about it because, while I can get the specs anywhere; how to convert them into combat values begs a conversation with someone who knows more intimately exactly what should go into them.

WITP-AE has a wealth of information about ships, planes, and LCU's from both sides of the conflict. Leaders as well. It's where I go when I need to know the range of the B-17E/F or the B-24B or the P-38A, etc. I trust the WITP-AE team to have done their homework and have distilled the stats down to game level for us. I bought it about 10 years ago for $80 and I've gotten my money's worth out of it several times over. Enough of the infomercial.

Mac,

Have you looked at the " Whats new v4.pdf " file (part of installation) ? There is a fair amount of information regarding the nqp file and its values in that document.

Cheers

Thanks Larry and Cathar. I hope you're doing well Larry! That looks like a great game witp.

Speed, armor, shell weight, and range are raw figures that can be found online. Agility is speed times a ship-type factor.

Attack and Defense values are discussed here:

I've had a request for some WITP-AE stats on Allied Aircraft and so I did a cut and paste of a large number of them. Enjoy.

Thanks Larry.

Thank you Curtis for the equations! And thank you all for responding.
