I just got another one of those rare "magic" Triple Strikes!

Dealer of Death · Feb 7th 2021, 5:45am

Three times before in games this has happened to me. I send a squad of 5 strike fighters off to patrol an area that I know contains an enemy and ... POOF, my strike fighter kills 3 different targets in 2 or 3 different provinces, AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.
Observe:

This has happened to me at least 3 times before in other games. In one game I even made light of it claiming my Strike Fighters were using the recently installed experimental time fracture device.

Anyone else have this experimental tech?

This is the first time tho that all 3 opponents belonged to 3 different factions.

Patrol, am I correct?

Are you aware that SF patrol option has circle and your planes will attack all units inside the patrol circle?

and, no actually, oh I figured they would, but not all at the same time.
If this is the way it functions, I never noticed because I micromanage my games, and only use SF patrols defensively to control incursions when I'm AFK. Damn, my K/D could have been WAY higher.

I'd really like to hear @Teburu s take on this, and also @Opulon s

Just wanted your confirmation, tho I could swear 1 time it happened to me, 1 of the units/provinces wasn't within the patrol radius.

Just one more thing: Does the SF patrol suffer 3 "defense" attacks (in this scenario above) as well during this? ... Pretty sure it's yes, but please confirm.

ASHKSO · Feb 7th 2021, 8:26pm

It must be a bug. Don't tell anyone :evil:

bobqz · Feb 7th 2021, 9:13pm

Teburu is the baseline for opinions and I treasure that. I learn so much from you guys and that is the truth !

funny enough
as far as im aware at some point they patched it so the dmg splits between all units in patrol radius but somehow it turned back to full dmg to all

nothing new or unknown. Patrol strikes work like that in this game and it's on purpose. CoN punishes HEAVILY people that don't space or concentrate too much assets.

And consideing how vulnerable air force may be in front of good anti-air, it's at least good that airforce can strike so hard if it has the opportunity
