Talk:Fall 2014 Event/@comment-24332640-20141119134902

I noticed the following formula on the wikiwiki page about this event for the LoS checks. Don't ask me where they got it, it seems awfully...specific. But this is the actual formula (translated by me):

LoS score = (shipboard bombers *  1.0376255) + (shipboad fighters *  1.3677954) + (shipboard recon planes *  1.6592780) + (recon seaplans *  2.0000000) + (seaplane bombers *  1.7787282) + (small radars *  1.0045358) + (large radars *  0.9906638) + (searchlights *  0.9067950) + (sqrt(sum of ships base LoS) *  1.6841056) -  0.6142467  * (HQ level rounded up to the nearest 5)

So the rough idea is pretty similar to the old 2-5 formula, except that every single type of equipment is weighted slightly differently. And then there's the final term. Yes, that's a minus sign. You actually get a lower effective score as your HQ level increases. Though the HQ level factor is rounded up to the nearst 5. So if you're HQ level 100 then 100 goes in the formula, but as soon as you hit 101 it becomes 105 in the formula.
