How is this calculated?
two examples. Both in the last week or so.
A dropship landed hard and only had a few hundred hit points. I shot it with my rifle I don't remember if it was an AR or CR, but I caused it to be destroyed. It seemed like I was the last one to hit it, at least. I don't remember getting any WP notification.
I really don't think I "Earned" the kill, but I should have gotten something. An Assist say.
Second example, I was using an EXO-5 MD and shooting at a Tank. I hit it three or four times solid and at least got splash damage on the rest of the clip. There was a second player shooting Swarms at it, but from what it looked like on the screen, I caused the vehicle to shift from Shield Damage to Armor Damage. Again no on screen notification of WP's.
How many times would I have to hit a Vehicle with something besides AV Grenades or Swarms to get Vehicle Damage points?
or how much damaged caused to a Vehicle to get Vehicle Damage points?
When using Swarms, it seems that I start getting points once I breach the shields.
And please bring back the Hack a Vehicle WP.
While I'm on Vehicles, It would be nice to recall captured/hacked Vehicles.
Thanks for reading this. |

Thanks CELESTA,
I understand about the readout. I thought I got around the corner fast enough - no.
So I take it with a grain of salt.
As for your explanation, gotcha. I could be using an MD with 6 shells, hit it straight up three times and get splash damage the other 3 times, do over a 1000 HP of damage and because it was not a "single" hit, I don't get any WP for it. Annoying, but at least I understand.
I would have to cause 500+ HP in a single hit, and only CCP knows what the limit it. 500 is just a number I'm throwing out there. But MD's maximum HP is 460 and 625.5 is lowest direct damage AV grenade.
And at least some of the damage has to be to armor, it can not be all shield.
So only
Light Weapons-
Plasma Canons
Swarms Launchers
Heavy Weapons-
Forge Guns
Grenades -
AV all levels
Remote Explosives-
AV/Proximity all levels
Non-AV probable
Can cause enough damage in one single hit to get WP.
I suppose Charged Sniper Rifles and Charged Scrambler Rifles might be able to pass the damage threshold whatever it is.
Nova Knives have a special caveat of 50% effectiveness vs vehicles - thank you hotfix charlie notes.

Yeah, I don't understand about the shield part, I've seen some vehicles with over 4000 shield HP. Another guy and I never got to the armor, but we forced him away from the area of the map he was targeting. I never got any points and I'm guessing the other guy didn't either, but we hit him with multiple swarms several times over the course of 3-4-5 minutes.
I know hard to do, put maybe give points for Shield damage only if the vehicle has over xx (2000, 2500) amount of shields, even if it's just 5 or 10 points per 500 shield HP's. And lower the HP treshold or figure out some way to include multiple hits on some other weapons against vehicles, that hit some minimum damage caused.
problem - RR 49.35 * 42 = 2072.7 If I could empty a RR clip into a vehicle it could conceivably do that much damage. I'm guessing, like Nova Knives, most weapons have some sort of damage mitigation factor against vehicles.
