I still have a lot to work on, but I wanted to go ahead and publish this to help motivate me to focus better. The basic mechanics should be implemented. In particular, the multi-stack targeting, defense, and damage distributions are implemented as described in the wiki and expounded upon further by freezy. The special defense against planes is not yet implemented, so planes will currently do better in the calculator than in the game. Fixing this is my top priority so planes should be working properly soon. There are likely bugs and general issues so let me know if you find any. The url is the same as before: http://dxcalc.com/cow

Well there's not much too it, most ranged units, artillery etc have range of 50. Battleships have 75 and railroad guns have 100. The only exception is Axis railroad guns which have 110. For the purposes of the calc all planes are melee units so their range is effectively zero.z00mz00m wrote:

There you go, just copy-paste that in the HTML 
Ok, I'll add it to the help page.
I've added patrolling to the calc. Just select "patrol" as the terrain type.
If both planes are patrolling, and one side or the other ticks, which setting do we use?
Both patrol, or (non tick) side to air?
Didn't battleships just received a range buff recently?
Whichever tics is attacking so specify a target for the ticking plane. If both are ticking select target for both. The only difference between side A and side B is that if two stacks are attacking each other side A attacks first.z00mz00m wrote:

Not sure. Their unit info says range is 75.Z. Sakki wrote:

110 = Axis RRG
100 = Normal RRG
75 = Battleship
50 = Cruisers and all forms of artillery
What are 40 and 30 used for?

The idea is that once a ranged unit kills a stack it will attack another stack if it's in range. The different position are to allow different new targets to be auto targeted. If there are multiple enemy stacks the ranged stack will attack the closer one. If multiple enemy stacks are in range and at the same position one of them will be selected, but all of them will receive damage via splash damage based on stack and class proportions as explained in call of war wiki under combat.
Wow, ok!
Somehow I neglected to add rare materials to the cost of the battle so it was always showing 0. This is now fixed.
Land units are now allowed to melee battle sea units. For example, infantry vs transport ships. Let me know if you notice anything off.
Added rockets, nuclear bombers, paratroopers, and airplane convoys.
It would be nice if the calculator was updated to account for the new balance changes
The fact that this calculator seems to still be worked on is a miracle. I wish I had found this earlier!
Thank you @DxC
It should be updated. If you notice a problem let me know. The 5/30 updates should have been updated around that time and the 6/27 updates were updated yesterday.AMG Morgan wrote:

Your tool is awesome. Tack on some UI polish, and sell it as an HC Plus Plus feature.
Love the tool man - awesome work. It's inspired me to try to build my own tools/calculators, and your contributions to the community about how things are calculated are priceless.
Thanks on behalf of everyone who cares about getting deep into the game mechanics!
