So, I see this target I would like to take out. I see that it should be an easy sab so I started sabbing.


About 7 sabs in I realized, hey I'm not doing very much damage. It's only taking 65 weapons that can't be right.



Also here are the weapons:


I apologize if I am out of line for posting these. Please remove them if I am. I just can't seem to find out what I was doing wrong. Some input would be nice.

add an extra 100 to your sab see if that works

I would but this happened yesterday.

^ what he said, is probably the cause, how much you kill depends on the difference of covert action with respect to a max.

I had like 1.2 tril covert. I still would expect more...

Did you use all of your spies? or part of them?

Ah, I think I see what your getting at. I had 7 mil spies and only sent in the minimum.

Never use above the minimum. It is a complete waste, and you take more spy losses.

Its possibly as a result of a high realm alert (try hitting them 2x quickly, and see if the second is blocked), which is boosting their defensive power.

It could well be a bug, based on the number of weapons they have. You should be taking out alot more

Which is why I used minimum. I think what SoL is saying is that the more I would use the more I would take out. Makes sense yeah, but I figure I would still take out a lot more. It's all so...confusing.

Seems like a bug to me. 65 small weps is no where near 3% of the total weapon power.

This is dumb. Use 5,000 more than minimum, always, and you're set it sabs by how much MORE you have than the enemy.

2 outcomes:

1. I sab 3%
2. I fail and lose half my spies.

I didn't lose and there is no way I sabbed only 3%.

Aye the damage you do to enemy weaps is based on the amount you succeed by. It is possible to send the bear minimum number of spies and succeed, and do minimal damage such as has happened here. Had you increased the number of spies sent even by 1 or 2 then the damage would have jumped to the "normal" 3%.

So I take it I am the only one whose tried bare minimum and done this little of damage. Is it random when this happens? Because I know other times I've sabbed this hasn't happened.
