I like it. Can you add a feature to specify the number of each unit fighting? Also, PM zatic/r1ch/sonuvbob and maybe they can figure out a hosting thing for you.

Well it does say at the bottom that the kill rate will be inaccurate. I just did a probe vs drone and it says it will kill 3 without dying as well. It'll get worked out eventually.

I really like the idea, but as someone already said, it's only useful if it's accurate (obviously) so keep working on it

Immortal vs Ultralisk

Calculations:

DPS: 33.79
Time to kill: 17.757 seconds
Time to death: 20.706 seconds
Kill rate: one Immortal will kill 3 Ultralisk(s) without dying

Fuck yea!

Also did calculations with Battlecruiser vs Marines and it was 1-8 even when BC were upgraded with +3 weapon and armor :<

Anyway, if you ever get this thing done, it's gonna be awesome!

So, is terrain/movement/micro involved? I mean, even the way they engage they other (when the unit is ranged) may lead to a totally different outcome.

lol i think thats why they gave them -10 shield, so they wouldnt rape banshee so hard so stop say zealots r too good! xD

OP u should add how many attacks its needed to kill ur enemy, for example dt need 1 hit to kill probe :p personally i find it more useful to know how many hits u need to kill so i can figure out critical timings such as the +1 zealot killing zergling in 2 hits instead of 3

It doesnt work.. Its says one Stalker will kill 3 Hydralisk(s) without dying .. but actualy 1 hydra kills 1 stalker
IdrA: stalkers actually do negative damage. when you shoot a marine with a stalker it gains health.

This thing has so much potential! You should keep working on it IMO because I am a huge fan of spreadsheets for video games but am too noob to make one myself.

Also

DPS: 23.64
Time to kill: 7.614 seconds
Time to death: 41.309 seconds
Kill rate: one Colossus will kill 5 Phoenix(s) without dying!!!

This calculator has one huge, gaping flaw, as far as I can tell:

It assumes that damage is a continuous function, when it's actually discrete: i.e., it doesn't take a zealot 35/16 = 2.1875 attacks to kill a zergling, it takes a zealot 3 attacks to kill a zergling.

For units that do a lot of overkill damage (e.g. thors vs. ghosts or marauders or banelings), the difference in output can be great.

non upgraded marine vs. 3/3 siege tank

DPS: 5.81
Time to kill: 25.818 seconds
Time to death: 2.229 seconds
Kill rate: one Marine will kill 2 Siege Tank(s) without dying

great idea, but I think it needs some work. At least the bugs give funny results.

It should factor in attack damage and attack speed separately instead of DPS. There is a significant time difference between bringing something down to low HP and needing an extra shot to overkill it, and calculating it through gradual damage over time.

Does this calculator take splash into account? I can't imagine an ultralisk killing only 8 marines.

When the calculator claims unit A can kill X number of unit B, is it accounting for the lowered dps of group B as the units are killed off?

I put in DT vs probe to see if it was still one hit. Then I chucked in drone to see if it was still one hit as well and I forgot to put DT in again:
Warning: Division by zero in /home/a2980513/public_html/index.php on line 104

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

and I found this pretty funny:
Dark Templar vs Mutalisk
Calculations:

DPS: 35.43 *
Time to kill: 3.81 seconds *
Attacks to kill: 3 attacks
Time to death: 8.4 seconds *
Attacks to death: 14 attacks
Kill rate: one Dark Templar will kill 1 Mutalisk(s) without dying (40 health left) **

Turns out DTs pwn mutas!

In all seriousness though, thanks for this man, your work is greatly appreciated.

armor in SC2 works like War3 (percentages) or 2 armor = damage reduced by 2? if its the second way doesnt that kinda suck if you get hit by immortal for example and you reduce his damage from 50 to 48 wth 2 levels of upgrade - wopy dudly doo!

I dont think the armor values are working properly, every time I tried adjusting armor, especially for zealots, it didn't change the amount of hits needed to kill the unit with armor upgrades.

Also, is there any way to account for marine combat shield upgrade?

I like it, I think it's useful if nothing else to figure out how many units of a certain kind you need to one-shot a certain enemy unit.

That can help for how many units to bring with a harass team, etc

Doesn't seem to work in Opera 10.10. All the dropdown lists just contain a single choice, which is all of the unit names mashed together. So the only attacker I can select is Protoss--ProbeZealotSentryStalkerImmortalColossus or whatever.

3/3 ultra vs 0/0 marines:


Ultralisk vs Marine
Calculations:

DPS: 50 *
Time to kill: 1.2 seconds *
Attacks to kill: 2 attacks
Time to death: 195 seconds *
Attacks to death: 300 attacks
Kill rate: one Ultralisk will kill 299 Marine(s) without dying (2 health left) **

Somehow i doubt that

I feature I'd like to see is some sort of cost effectiveness.

I think you need to fix the Viking vs Banshee calculation. Vikings and Banchees can't fight each other (both attacking at the same time)

This is a HUGE improvement over the first attempt. Great job.

A really great effort and idea! Since you already have all the data on your end perhaps you could create a list of upgrade hardpoints? Such as when getting upgrades reduces the number of attacks to kill.

Like Marauders take 9 attacks to kill a roach, marauders+1 take 8 attacks (going by your calc)

actually I may just end up putting in the numbers one by one and making an excel sheet and then finding the ones that are the most significant (dropping from 3-4 attacks to 2-3 attacks)

But its really good, do you have plans to make a GUI for it? Kind of like how sc2armory has the unit selectionon the right side (http://www.sc2armory.com/game/zerg). Its really just a polishing thing, the base itsself works great!

nice start. 1 archon will kill 2 mutalisk, pathetic. archons need a major buff, they're no way near as good vs muta as they were in sc1, and they sort of suck vs everything.

I really... really like pie.

This is useful, but a calculator will never come close to actual in game scenarios, though it is quite useful to know how DPS compares between units.

Seeing this in its current version, it's actually pretty good. And going back and reading the early comments, I can tell that you have done a lot of work and made a lot of progress. Good work!

edit: One thought - do you have plans to make it easy to update with patches and all? It seems like it could be a lot of work to manually update all stats, so you may want to outsource that somehow.

It's still missing stimpack!

but in any case, keep working, it's getting quite useful =D


edit : any plan to add overkill soon? That definitely has to be implemented before the non alpha/beta version (1.0 I assume) is done!

oh, and do you need help factoring distance and range ?

What do you mean by overkill?


I see in your FAQ that you did add it, my bad!!

Q: Does this calc take into account overkill damage and attacks? (i.e. Zealot kills Zerglings in 3 hits, not 2.1342)
A: Yes, it does.

I tested with the latest version, phoenix vs viking. It seems that neither can win unless you upgrade then heavily. But according to time to kill the phoenix should win.

Also it would be nice if you could use multiple attacking units, like how many roaches can 3 immortals kill.

Doesn't seem like the life remaining is factoring in protoss shields

Archon vs any unit will have 10 or less life remaining

Kill rate: one Marauder will kill 1 Roach(s) without dying (45 health left)

It is not true. Marauder only 10-15% faster than roach and stays alive 1 hit left.

Where did you get this AS values? The only place specifying some exact numbers is patch notes.

Marauder is 33% faster and does 10+10 (-2) = 18 dmg vs 16(-1) = 15 dmg from Roach. (You can see all this info to the right of the calculations by the way).

Also there's a FAQ section, where the question of calculation error margin is answered.

As for the attack speed - datamining, in-game tests.

Marauder can not get away with 45 at any case because damage done to marauder should be a multiple of 15. 35-20 health is a more real value.

It does factor shield in, it just doesn't show it, because it's remaining health, not health + shield

That is a good point though, I will look into showing remaining shield for protoss as well.


If that is actually how you intended to have the remaining whatever working then you should probably have someone design your next project for you.

A useful feature would be to add static defense buildings. I'd love to know, for instance, how many zerglings my photo cannon can take out.

Another neat feature would be to show how the resource cost of the attacking/defending units, so you can easily tell if unit X is resource effective vs. unit Y.

How does it figure splash damage? it doesn't seem to simply hit every unit present in the combat, if so I'd think ultralisks would get a few hundred more unupged zerglings.

No brood lords or broodlings in the database? Or does that fall into the category of "special ability units" kinda like void ray (which is missing also)?

Great work so far tho.

Something is obviously very messed up with the numbers.

If you do Hellion vs Reaper it says:
Kill rate: one Hellion will kill 3 Reaper(s) without dying (18 health left)

If you do Reaper vs Hellion it says:
Kill rate: one Reaper will kill 1 Hellion(s) without dying (22 health left)

Something is definitely very wrong there.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

Kill rate: one Sentry will kill 0 Reaper(s) without dying (0 health left) **
Cost efficiency: for every Sentry you can get 1.7 Reaper(s) ***

Yea, with inaccuracies like that reaper/hellion mix up it's hard to know what to believe and not. Might be a bit dangerous to take this as gospel

Is there also a starcraft broodwar damage calculator? If so, what is it called / url?

Poll is confusing

I don't find this helpful, but I also like pie, so what should I choose?
