Bombardment Investigation

Has anyone got any evidence that city size affects bombardment defense?

I had always considered that it does NOT, but then Prima's PTW Strag. Gde :rant: said it did. That Strat. Gde has got so much MISinformation in it I don't trust it at all.

The following is all PTW testing.

I tried cannon (bombard strength = 8) against modern armor (base defense = 16) in a metropolis.

Out of 500 cannon bombardments against a metropolis, I expected about 6% hits on the modern armor but the bombardment hit units about 9%, which is what I would exoect for a town (size 6 and less). I should get only about 6% hits if the metro defense bonus is applied.


Out of 400 cannon bombardments against a town, I expected about 8% hits on the modern armor, which is about what I expected (expected 8.6%.)

Civilians killed in metro: 5%, about what I expected. Civilans killed in town: 12%, a little higher than I expected.

Bottom line: in PTW

city size seems to affect civilian hits but not hits on units!!!!
