Adalbert's guides on ability

Adalbert	As all my "formula-posts" have been recently bumped, I was approached to put them all into one post so it could be stikied... here it is. These guides contain advanced information. If you are just starting to play the game please go ahead and read Obst's guides on www.nf-guides.com. That webpage gives you all the information you need to start with. If you have done that and are still curious about some details, go read ahead. Since it has quite some information, I divided it into several parts, that are posted as replies by myself. 0) Ability - how they are calculated / base stats 1) BO's Potential - guideline length / marking distance 2) Accuracy - where's the cap, how is it calculated 3) Reload - where's the cap 4) Torpedo - reload cap 5) AAW - chance of shooting down planes at horizontal and vertical distances with auto fire 6) Repair - Repairrate and Burnrate 7) Restore - SD 8) Engine . A - General . B - Overheat time . C - Base speed . D - natural overheat speed . E - overheat speed with crew 9) Aircraft - not yet posted 10) Fighter - not yet posted 11) Bomber - not yet posted 12) Special Sailors . A - Sonarmen If you have questions or remarks to any of those posts - please send a PM to me. Also if you think that you have found a mistake, please contact me directly as it most probably will just be a misunderstanding and I don't want an obsolete discussion in this post as it just blows it up and might scare ppl away. I have not included all "proof" in this post - if you are looking for some numbers how I came up with the formulas, feel free to look for my old posts from between 2005 and now, and you will find more information in there.

As all my "formula-posts" have been recently bumped, I was approached to put

and
are still curious about some details, go read ahead.

Since it has quite some information, I divided it into several parts, that are posted as
replies by myself.

0) Ability - how they are calculated / base stats
1) BO's Potential - guideline length / marking distance
2) Accuracy - where's the cap, how is it calculated
3) Reload - where's the cap
4) Torpedo - reload cap
5) AAW - chance of shooting down planes at horizontal and vertical distances with
auto fire
6) Repair - Repairrate and Burnrate
7) Restore - SD
8) Engine
. A - General

JuergenSchT	Nice post. But how have things changed in three years for fighter and bomber abilities?

Konstanza	1 engi = 100.0% = 100/1 = 100 2 engis = 70.7% = 141/2 = 100 + 41 3 engis = 57.7% = 173/3 = 100 + 41 + 32 4 engis = 50.0% = 200/4 = 100 + 41 + 32 + 27 5 engis = 44.7% = 224/5 = 100 + 41 + 32 + 27 + 24 well.. some explanation would help I guess : Your first engi works at 100% of his ability. If you add a second engi they both work at 71% of the combined ability or (71% * ability 2) = (142% ability). Now you can write this differently. Assuming you want your first engi to be 100% efficient still - the second one is only (142%-100%)=42% efficient. So : 1st engi = 100% 2nd engi = 42% 3rd engi = 32% 4th engi = 27% 5th engi = 24% So a 5th engi appears to be working at less then a quarter of his ability only - for speed freaks only. Now to make it clear again - this last part is not the way overheat speed is calculated! It is only another way to interpret the formula if you have engis of the same ability. ---------------- IS THIS INFO STILL VALID ?

Konstanza

1 engi = 100.0% = 100/1 = 100
2 engis = 70.7% = 141/2 = 100 + 41
3 engis = 57.7% = 173/3 = 100 + 41 + 32
4 engis = 50.0% = 200/4 = 100 + 41 + 32 + 27
5 engis = 44.7% = 224/5 = 100 + 41 + 32 + 27 + 24

well.. some explanation would help I guess :

Your first engi works at 100% of his ability. If you add a second engi they both work
at
71% of the combined ability or (71% * ability *2) = (142% * ability). Now you can
write
this differently. Assuming you want your first engi to be 100% efficient still - the
second one is only (142%-100%)=42% efficient. So :

1st engi = 100%
2nd engi = 42%
3rd engi = 32%
4th engi = 27%
5th engi = 24%

So a 5th engi appears to be working at less then a quarter of his ability only - for
speed
freaks only.

Now to make it clear again - this last part is not the way overheat speed is
calculated!
It is only another way to interpret the formula if you have engis of the same ability.

B_O_S_S	Hi Marc, 1.329.420 is a number of true ability for your gunners to reach the accuracy cap (for LVL70 gunners). 4706 is just a constant, do not be confused by it. True ability can be count by different ways, the simpliest is probably: true ability = skill percentage * displayed ability * max crew Not sure, how did you get 3132. Isn't it (skill percentage * displayed ability) of your gunners? If so, you are a half way "home". Just multiplay it by max crew (see above).

Not sure, how did you get 3132. Isn't it (skill percentage * displayed ability) of your
