Demolition is not getting research applied to it

[NoMem Wilson]

I have level 5 demolition with all 10 stages completed in university, and battle tactics in library researched giving demolition 3036 damage each. Missile Silo level 3 has 11,215 hp. So 4 of them with total damage of 12,144 should take out missile silo right? Well it does not. There is just a tiny bit of health left after using 4 demos. So something is not right and i assume demo is not getting research correctly applied to it.

Here is a video i made showing this

You posted a war base. That gets the 10% bonus from your alliance perk level 2 to all defensive buildings, and in my testing applies even to war bases in friendly challenges. So 11215*1.1=12336.5HP, just barely past the damage of your 4 demolition.

I complained about this when they introduced the 10% boost in the first place, with no compensating boosts to tactics - it was a severe nerf to demolitions. But it isn't a math error. You are getting exactly what you should on both offense and defense.

Demolition tactic needs to have a major damage buff. Defense buildings have had several health buffs in the last 2 years, but demo has been nerfed, making it worthless. It used to be very useful to take out mortars in 1 shot, or take out a forbidden city in 2, but now they take 2 and 3 demolitions, respectively.

Quovatis - just FYI, at some point the FC got flagged as a Town Center for purposes of reduced damage from demolition. So now it takes 85% less damage, just like the town center and storage buildings. It is not a useful way to deal with FCs in any situation any more. We did some recent friendly challenge testing of this. Bombers and paratroopers also do reduced damage to it now.

My bad, I haven't tried it in so long. Even before that, the "monuments" research in the library made it take 3 demo.
