Area of damage vs Radius

Are they the same?
I have trained the captain to add a few % area dmg, but none of the aoe weapon like mortar, torp, ex.cannon, mine have the radius increased with training.
Is this a bug?

Ps: sorry if this is a repeat, i did try to search but no straight explanation.

 

no

I think those skills just buff the damage amount of area affect weapons and not the radius

Lol took me too long to type ;p

 

there are 2
1.increase the damage for AOE(are of effect ) items :increase damage
2. increase the damage/radius for AOE items :,increase splash damage %

 

Who has the second talents, the radius one?

 

those who are responsible of AOE items like mortimer , sinklair ...

 

? Lol think mines broken lol I only see the damage increase ones :/

 

They just need to make it complicated for a simple thing, I guess.

Mho, radius, aoe, area of dmg, splash dmg are similar, it is the collateral dmg from the center. The intensity would be different, they apply it in the mortar/fb/napalm rings. Not sure how the aoe in the torp, ex cannon, mine.

How do we know the area dmg for each aoe weapon now?

 

radius is radius , and it can't be changed

AOE is used to express an item , does it have splash damage or not ?(point damage weapons=no splash damage)

are of damage is damage/radius for AOE items

splash damage is used to express splash damage, like "oh, look at the splash damage " it is better than saying "look st the are of damage"

but yeah they are a bit similar , and btw you cant see the word "splash" in crew training talent (99% sure )

 

I meant, how do i see it on the weapon stats?or i guess not there yet.

 

you cant

 

Cheers

 

radious of explostions need to improve...in my opinion its way too short.

 

What's radius meant for Torpedo?
If it means the area of damage when hitting, it should also get increased by area of damage training, but apparently it's not.

Any thoughts?

 

You can not increase the size of the radius only the amount of damage, a lot of people have this same question because the wording is ambiguous

 

Yes, i know
Im just pointing out for Torp, their term of Radius should mean as AOE, which should be added by AOE training, if not i think its wrong.

 

Alright, I replayed some of my games with torp, I think the torp doesnt have to be a direct hit to explode. I guess that's how the radius is defined in torp.
