Auto resolve, auto win

[thu]

I find something interesting recently. The main influence factors of vessel power are tonnage, armor, underwater torp and range. Max out, then, speed, secondary, pro protection and bulkhead matters a little. The rest are useless.

cl is the best choice. By the way, try to send out a group of 50cls and you will find a problem.

So what is the meaning of ship design...

It is either a mechanic too simple or too complex that nothing is functioning.

I'm pretty sure there's already a "WTF?" thread about auto-resolve. We (the players) are hoping there's eventually some refinements to the algorithm.

Should have given a further detailed explain. I don't understand how ship is sunk exactly. It is associated with 'power' somehow. Higher fleet power leads to victory.

Suppose I design a empty CL hull  with nothing on it. It has 250 power. Fix 14 underwater torps, then get 500 power. So I spend less fund on more power. Other equipment or component affects a little, 260 or 230, not very much. I design a BB with every bar in medium, 1950 power. Max tonnage, 2391. Longest range,2343. Thin armor, 1398. 0 secondaries, 1887, etc. Finally turn out that big guns don't matter in auto resolve. And hull happens to be the cheapest part.

I chose CL as the best answer because construction is finished in 9 month, easy to replace losses. A hundred CLs with 1 gun and several underwater torps... Everyone knows I'm building industrial rubbish except the judge.
