If the unit has a circle around it and is not a plane, it’s a ranged unit and the circle is its range. Anti air has exceptionally high defensive damage against planes, which is its purpose (dealing large damage to planes when they attack the army the anti air is in). That will be used against planes that attack it or anything within 1/10 Artillery range (=distance of 5) of its position. However, any land or naval unit has defensive damage against planes. There’s an exception – land or naval units can not attack planes in the air. However, if army A was ordered to attack B before getting too close, it won’t attack from 5km, it will first reach B’s position and then attack.Īny unit that has no circle around it when selected is a close combat unit close combat units can engage any enemy unit within 5km of them, so a submarine can engage an infantry if they are within 5km of each other, too. The close combat range is 5km (1/10 the range of Artillery) if army A is 5km or closer to B, and either of the armies changes orders (is moving and then is ordered to move elsewhere, or is stationary and ordered to move), that army will start attacking. That will repeat every 30 minutes (once B is ordered to move or attack you cannot stop it from attacking over and over again till A is destroyed, so if you want to only defend, don’t move the army during the fight).

If then the owner of army B orders it to move or attack it will attack A and A will defend. If army A moves into army B while B isn’t moving, army A will attack and B will defend that will happen again every 30 minutes. There are three groups we can divide units into: close combat units, ranged units and planes.

In other words, the damage efficiency is 100% for a full health unit and will go down as the unit is damaged, ending at 20% when the unit has zero hp (is very close to zero). (20+x.0,8)% is the damage efficiency of the unit, where x represents the health percentage of the unit. If a unit is damaged, its damage values will be decreased. (The ratio of the offensive/defensive damage values is the same for a unit against all armour classes.)Ī strength bonus increases the army's damage values by a certain percentage. Units always have two damage values: offensive (for attacking) and defensive (for defending). The damage efficiency for those 10 units will not be decreased. However, if the army is greater than 10, only the top 10 units with the highest damage against that armour class will be used. tanks and 1 unit with 4, it will be 8 against tanks for the army). To determine the damage value of an army against an armour class, the damage values of all the units against that armour class are added together (so if we have two units with 2 damage vs.

Ever wondered why an infantry defends off a light tank, or why you sometimes win and sometimes lose the same unit matchup?Īfter reading this carefully, you should be able to look into the unit stats before you go into battle, and approximately predict its outcome, and also tell what role each unit has.Įvery unit in CoW has its armour class and its damage values against other classes.
