Also: how does the attack/defense got calculated?
The person I attacked has 110,000attack/110,000defense in Weapons, while I have 95,000attack/94,000 defense in weapons, and I saw that person's weapons, my weapons are stronger and much more than that person has. I just don't understand.

Is it true that person with same armors/vehicles/weapons who has 2,000 strong/active mobs, IS STRONGER than a person who has exactly same amount of armors/vehicles/weapons with also 2,000 but weak/non-active mobs?

So you lose 1 out of 10??? not bad, no non active clan should have no bearing, , skill points also come into play, and so does the "randomness" of the game's calculations , I doubt Kano is not gonna tell you the inner workings of the calculations, I gather this is a friend if you have all this info of what they have.

 

Well armor you will most likely be weaker as it has much better defense than attack.

 

I don't think so.A body is a body in VC PC AND LCN.

 

Don't forget 1 VERY important part though.Base attack/defense value plays a big role whether you want to believe or not.My viking is a great example.I have a pretty good loadout for warriors and weapons,but my weak base attack will cause me to lose some fights even though everything else is much stronger than some of my opponents.That might also be your problem,but since you're not saying if you're stronger or weaker there,can't say if that's playing a role in this or not.

 

sorry i dont have the answers here to the calculations but i do know that armour plays a major part of defense
you can attack someone and win on most aspects but loose because of there armour

 

The loadout and critical hit bonus attack also plays a part in the outcome of a fight...

Try arming your loadout full of Attack heavy weapons, there may be a difference in the outcome

Also Adrenaline boosts gives you 5% extra attack, and make sure you have your elites, you can get a total of a 10% attack boost, which should help you in situations like this

 

thanks for all answers, they all contradicting each other though
My base attack is very high, I can beat some lvl 3500+ easily, winning every single fight from them, but on the other hand, I'm losing sometimes to lvl 1700. and Yes, I do have all elites that out there.

 

The level 1700 is stronger than the level 3500, this game is all about your stockpile of weapons... As you are probably aware of, as well as base attack and defense, if the battle report says you are stronger in everything then there's a glitch and you shouldn't really be losing the fight.

The battle report will tell you whether your base attack is weaker than your opponents base defense, if this is the case then the battle will be weighed more in there favor from my experience, but the stockpile of weapons is the main thing, as well as the load out... the load out determines your total attack and defense attributes.

All I can suggest is craft as much as possible in the workshop get as many of those high offensive and defensive weapons, armor and vehicles and kick some butt, sorry I don't really have the calculations and stuff, but I'd probably not understand it lol

 

I have noticed that the fight calculations do appear to be quite heavily weighted to Att/Def stats.

Armour is nearly always an attack loss - the way the items are weighted towards def makes sure of that (they are armour though - makes sense..!)

What I have noticed is that I can have a larger mob, and a better stockpile than others, but still lose the fights, when the only stat I am weaker on is Attack strength.

Innocent - with a very high attack stat you should be able to beat most people around or below your level unless they have a better defense stat than you (probably unlikely as I think you have a VERY high attack ;-)
Your issue may be more to do with the 'Critical Hit Bonus' - that lovely little randomness built in to the fight structure.

Having said that - Dylan is also right - you should always maintain your stockpile to be as high as possible, workshop like crazy and get in on as many of the high-level bosses as you can.
