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.

Ruonim	Repairrate graph looks like root graph. I belive formula is somthing like: formula = N * root(abilityability%) + Kability*ability%) N - constatnt from repeirmans K- constant from other sailors formula could be divided also or multipiled after resoult. Go resaeach it ;]

Talentz	Yes, I understand your point of view. The rep rate with 3 over 2 is noticebly different. 5 Engis is too much, meh, its fun to mess around with. However, when I do play seriously(ever again), 3-4(Rep/Engi) is the ideal set up. With that being said... why on earth Hilfy has 10 engis per nations is beyond me... :P Offer? hehe, I dont have that many credits xD

Adalbert	yes talentz, for me there is no doubt about the optimal setup. For UK it's 4 reps and 4 engis, for all other nations 4 engis and 3 reps. I only use two scouts when it really becomes necessary.. like in a 1 on 1 that you planned before. If you run 5 engis and 2 reps on monty you're not really gaining more overspeed with the 5th engi as you should have reach the speed cap anyways. The increased overheat time... well... My 4 engis are enough to let me choose my speed at any time I want to right now allready. I have never run out of overspeed when I needed it in my L2. Having another rep (more then 2) helps quite a bit. You want to get above 7-7.5mil repair ability at least, as repairrate 'jumps' up there. And with only 2 reps you will not reach that point when you get your US BB3. The point where repairrate flattens out is VERY far out. So the number of efficient reps is not determined by that cap, but by the number of engis you want to have to reach at least that cap. ooh and as to my support... what would you offer? ^^

Talentz	well sell me ur support then ^^ I see that having 5 Engis makes me a speed freak... I can live with that -.- Judging by the data you have provided, Having more then 4 reps is not really worth it right?
