Paradropping broken?

[unmerged(23415)]

Just noticed that with the Airborne Assault Efficiency being 85%, paratroopers receive a -85% penalty instead of the intended -15%. Screenie. (and yes, that assault is just for demonstration purposes... even I'm not that bad at this game ).

Also if you add up the different modifiers there seems to be an additional hidden 10% penalty... any ideas?

Mission efficiency bug? Do you have armageddon? Have you patched up to 1.2?

 

[Awaru]

I confirm airbrone assault bug in Armageddon 1.2. Mission efficiency of airborne assault is counted as a minus combat modifier.

 

[Scippio]

Well i dont think we can hope for a Paradox fix for this, what should the correct values be and in what file can the changes be made?

 

[Myth]

Is this confined to just airborne assault, or are other missions also effected?

 

[icon41gimp]

They modifiers are totaled by multiplication not addition. Works out to a 16.7% total efficiency so I don't think there is any hidden modifiers.

 

[CruelDwarf]

Maybe you just paradrop too many divisions? Stack limit penalty as with marine assaults.

 

[Myth]

That wouldn't affect the airdrop modifier though, it would be a whole different one.

 

[ohnoitsalex]

Is this affected by a moddable value or a hardcoded one?

If it's moddable, can anyone give us a small tutorial on which files we should mess around with? I'm guessing it'll require changing all the technology bonuses and startup values or something equally tedious.

Is this a change impemented with ARM 1.2? Can someone confirm its not in ARM 1.1? I can confirm its not in DD, but I guess I´m just being obsolete here

Is correct

-75% by leader range
-10% by paratroopers penalty
--------------------------
-85%

Not is a bug

 

[Dakk]

quintelosky would appear to be correct.

-75% by leader range
-10% by paratroopers penalty

-85%

Leader range? What does that refer to?

/edit: I assume it means the over the command limit penalty. But that refers to a whole different modifier, not the paradrop modifier.

 

[quintelosky]

Leader range? What does that refer to?

The brazilian leader have 5 divisions and only can command 3 divisions, this divisions have a -75 (misc.txt):
# Combat Modifier: Land Exceeding Max Command Limit Mod
-0.75fg

 

[Myth]

Yes, but that's a separate modifier. It is not wrapped into the paradrop modifier, and the first three divisions will not suffer that penalty and the modifier information shown in that screenshot seems to be from the third division--which would not suffer that penalty.

Mmmm, yes. I don't know....

Prove with 3 divisions only? and see the penalties

 

[Awaru]

It is a bug.

Paradropping modifier is equal to airborne assault efficiency.

[Myth]

Easy.

Look at that, the penalty it 55%. But look at the top right corner, where I pasted my airborne assault efficiency--55%. It's a bug, all right.


/Edit: Awaru, you want to remove those swastikas.

 

[Nilmerf]

This is very disappointing.
