I never noticed problem before attacking with navy bombers and such but I was watching North Mexico disembarking in Asia with Sechuan patrolling with 30 level 3 interceptors and level 1 strategic bombers. About 28 transports and 10 ships were taking the hits. Ships took appropriate damage but the transports were suffering more then double what they should have.
I was thinking maybe the interceptors were over firing but maybe the strategic bombers thought they were attack bombers. Something was wonky there. Just started a game to see what happens when I attack with those planes but probably won't find proper situation. Would be quick check with bytro.
I'm still seeing Pan Asian interceptors hit disembarking troops with twice the power they should. Maybe true for all doctrines. Can someone check this at Bytro. Is it better being on the discord forum to report this. Mentioning things here gets buried under pages and one wonders if it is even seen.
This is working as intended. Units that are in the act of embarking or disambarking take extra damage.
As they should, they are stationary, defenseless targets.
Thanks zoom. Good to know. When I bring up battle screen I just see damage against ships and other army types. Never shows disembarking troops.
Would be good to know just for calculations. Is it more then damage infantry would take?
You're right, it's not documented anywhere, but I think the damage is doubled.
Maybe this subject deserves a little blurb in the game wiki. This increased damage while disembarking would against all attackers like artillery and ships I assume. But when embarking they seem to take damage in accord with their on land ratings and then immediately turn to ships when embarking complete so they are not susceptible there.
I still haven't found any mechanics on damage to disembarking units. They look like ships but navy bombers seem weaker then interceptors. Maybe Tacs would be better. And embarking units? Is there different damage then disembarking. Seems land units attacking do better.
And when disembarking say 100 level three transports that are split in 10 groups of 10 on same sport. It look like one shot spread over all 10 groups but each group gets to fire back. If that happened in naval battle, all 10 groups fire back but then each get hit with the defense shot and get wiped out.
So I have no idea yet which planes are best to attack dissembarking units, which are best for embarking. What bonus ships gets, what bonus land units get. When I bring up the expected damage box it still just shows against infantry, light armor, heavy armor, planes, ships, subs and buildings. No indication of just the damage from ranged units and no info on embarking and disembarking units. Still flying blind here.
