Carronade bugged.?

Is carronade hit registration bugged or carronade is supposed to be such a bad weapon that 1 out of 10 hits register..and deals like 80% less damage than it supposed to..it's the last quest left in guild quests and nobody even got 1 kill with it. Please fix it

 

Our clan too is stucked in that... its dropping infamy but not getting ships killed..

 

ikr ..i have a video of me hitting a shooter 5 times at least from a really close range and dealt 0 damage to it..

 

How much dmg does each projectile deal?

 

About 4 or 3 each one

 

Carronade shoots several projectiles, each dealing minor point damage.
Defense stat gives flat reduction to point damage taken.
Thus, if a ship has a high enough Defense stat, it can significantly if not completely negate Carronade damage.
Example:
Carronade damage = 5 x 30
Target ship = Mk4 Shooter (base Defense = +20, easy-to-get Brock crew bonus Defense = +5, he has a Shield with 1 green Defense perk = +3)
Total Defense = +28
That means Carronade damage is now = 5 x 2
So............ my example used a fairly weak Carronade against a medium-toughness Shooter with a shield, but you can see how if the Shooter was a little tougher, it could completely negate all of it...

^ If my calculations are wrong, let me know........

 

I got the same problem,lol. I hit a shooter with my carronade and it showed 1,2,1,1 damage. I'm like wtf screw carronade and scrapes it.

 

It’s because of the defense stat. I don’t play shoooter, but I think my shooter has ~20 defense.

The base damage for a rare carronade, in my shop, is 24 per hit. So a L1 rare carronade would only be doing 4 damage per hit, against a fairly rubbish shooter.

My carronade currently fires 4x projectiles, so even they all hit, it would only be about 16 damage, which would barely be noticeable on a shooter with thousands of hp.

If you want to get kills with the carronade, get a good one, and focus on ships with low defense (not shooters and defenders).

 

If only I could see other ships more than shooter,ur comment would make a bit sense to me

 

@Spinners71 Mk4 shooter base defense is only 15, but otherwise you're pretty spot on. Defense neuters carronades, is the punchline. Higher level/tier carronades can get past that to a degree, but no weapon suffers from defense on opponents the way carronades do. Each point of defense is worth 4 (or more) times its listed value againse a carronade.

 

Both missle and carronade suffer from def and useless underlevel and untrained however their extremly dangerous when there powered up and have captin skills attached . Ex a weak carronade does 12×4 dam per projectile- a ship with def of 20 = your screwed but a max level carronade does 246×9+ship slow by 70% and tur rot by 70%- max def is 100= 1314 dam plus frost bonus for every hit and if hit from behind means they cant hit u back for a good while

 

Right, but that's exactly the problem. Other weapons are at least passable without specifically specializing in them, but things like carronades and missiles are pretty much worthless until high tier with fat perks. Not many people have those, but every guild is going to get those quests.

 

Here is a link that shows info about each tier ship, including the BASE defense points per mk. Gives you a bit of an idea how effective a carronade is against each ship (they annihilate speeder and fixer)

Just train up a carronade, that’s the whole point. If every quest was about dropping big Berta’s there’d be no challenge. Plus, carronade has s leeeethal on a speeder.

Carronade hits are sketchy, sometimes doesn’t hit. Maybe because of the ms delay that i have. If u have lower ms you’re delay with the server time is very low. You would barely have to predict shots most the time.
