Thunderbarge auto battle calculation is a joke right?

[shokk]

TBs are so useless in autobattles. no matter whether you have 3 in an army or a doomstack - they suck as hell and lost 1/2 - 2/3 of its HP every battle or die in some cases. if i play the battles manually the TBs finished it with full HP. do u have same problems with it?

Dont auto resolve?

[Cryten]

Its just the way auto battles are calculated, with force numbers and damage taken passes. It favours elite infantry and elite monsters (not solo but a small group of high damage and hp) as groups regenerate all the hp for individuals at end of battle.

Same problem with Doom Wheels, Moulder Monsters, Marienburg Landships etc.

Considering you have TB, why do you even bother auto resolving ?... Those things just wipe everything so far in battle (which is "technically" the main selling point of this game : the battles)...

If you're an auto-resolve addict, just get the units with the best AR results, that's it.

Guess simple and easy, its a lot quicker.
Sometimes it just not worth loading.

That's my point, but I agree with you anyway.

If for example you suck in battles, and want to AR all battles with Kislev (still an example), just go full bears, instead of mixing differents thingies you won't even touch/play with. They're not the flashiest, but who cares since you don't play the actual battles.

Likewise, if you're playing Dwarves, just go full Slayers 24pcs units (forgot the name), their AR value is quite strong tbh (if you find better, go for it).

Anyway, I probably got pissed for no reason with those kind of threads...

The fact that these battles are a boring waste of time with a foregone conclusion if you play them yourself is why you'd rather press the AR button.

If they're boring, you know you're going to win, and you also now know the TB is not that good in AR, then just pick whatever is stronger in AR, since you obviously just will AR ?

i know this sounds wild but you could actually use a combination of fighting harder/fun fights manually and autoresolving the trash fights which are no fun.
you dont need to limit yourself to picking the exact same option in every battle.

if you do use a combination of both options than you need an army that is good at both manual and autoresolve.

Sure, some of u guys are right with manually battles because many of them are really awesome to fight. BUT above all siege battles are partially horrible to play so i want to clear tihs in auto battles. Also i guess that many people use the auto fights and here are TBs simple useless. So my thinks about it, its not the way of a fun campaign overall

Just finished one on H/H with the community bugfix mod and almost nothing else, they were quiet underwhelming for what you can do with them in manual, but not too bad for just any t5.
