Water-downed Defensive Tanks!!??

[Jester]

Hello all, this is my first post. (Second post actually. My first one goes to god knows where! )
This one has been bugging me for all eternity? (Well, since I got forest defenders)
I noticed that the forest defenders are weak! Really weak in terms of Health point. So I look closer at the other defending horses spawned from the stables and I found out! Oh defending calvaries are so weak compared to what we use. But on second thought, if they weren't soft, how can I attack a fully powered calvary at all!
Now, I got to Global and learned that if they were not lesser versions of their actual counter parts, I have no way to attack let alone dominate them (Planes or not! 17x damage actually deal alot but that amount to a total of only about 18k damage per run and a battle tank will have about 20k health. )
So, to get to the point, does anyone knows how much water is added to those defenders?? I noticed they only have about a fourth or a fifth of the original health point. Their dps are the same though.
So, please enlighten me about what portion of the tank's body is Water and what is Metal?? (Only cast iron and not even steel!! According to library research. lol )

Upgrade your stables dood !!!

 

[Funks]

Upgraded stables makes your forest defenders stronger.
Upgraded garrisons makes your TC defenders stronger.
You only need to upgrade one of each to have the stronger defensive troops. Hope that helps. [h=1][/h]

 

[Jester]

Ah no. That's not it. I already upgraded them. What I want to know is how much is the health difference between defending tanks and actual attacking tanks. You know, even a nomal industrial tank should not be damaged about half their health when runned downed by a single triplane. Right?

 

[Jester]

Yup. I know that. And only have one of each kind to the maximum. Not for the last tank though. Thanks

From the description, those defend tanks is standard light tanks, not unique tank but not worse. Not sure how you know they have hitpoint about 1/3 or 1/4 of original!

Your barrack tanks may have the armor blessing and Versailles boost.

Remember your tanks don't have to go to the middle of a barrage of 60 British BlackWatch!

 

[Jester]

No. I am not talking about any boosts. Just a normal plain light tank. You see, the dps of a plane is small, no matter the upgrade. Be that as it may, 17x damage to tanks is also not big. You can even actually see the damage number in the info window. So, isn't it ridiculous if a full health defending tank is taken down with just 2 shots from a plane, which would at most deal 5000 dmg!! If they have the same health point, it would be a lot harder to kill them.

 

[Ravenlord]

Maybe gravity helps with bullet velocity ?? Or maybe the planes are using sidewinder missiles ??! Or maybe they've got the SoL boost ?

All I know is my Global planes can take out a tank with a single pass - thank goodness!!

Can you check again Jester, I have Triplane mk1 with all IA library tech but no Statue of Liberty, they have damage against defenders 2374, so 17x of that against tank is 40358 and kill tank in 1st contact is normal!

 

[Jester]

Oops. I would love that if our planes were that powerful. No offence That damage 2374 is actually multiplied by 17. The normal damage should be about 139. You can test it out yourself. Use only a single plane on a full health tank. The result is that it doesn't die. If the actual damage dealt is 40358 and their actual health is the same as normal tanks, they will die. But they probably left half their health. So by proxy, they will have about 800k health and we know that's not the case. So, the actual case is our plane deals what is said, 2374 dmg and they have about 8k health, which is about a third of an actual tank's health.

Actually you are right Jester. Explains why you need atleast 4 single runs of 4 triplanes or sometimes even 5 to kill an ht mk2, while only 1 or 2 for a medium/battle tank, coz if you compare the hp of a battle tank and ht mk2, the difference isnt big.

Anyway, I am not complaining coz it goes both ways, and I keep on upgrading my planes and tanks both at the same rate ;-)
