Wings Of Liberty Captured Algorithm

[Gruber-H]

Good day ladies and gentlemen,

 

I was curious how Wings Of Liberty calculates "captured". I have a feeling it's just a flip of a coin whether you get captured or not. However, are parameters taken in to better evade capture? For example, Is it better to bail out opposed to belly land? I had a case yesterday where I bailed out very far away from friendly lines and evaded capture. A few sorties later I belly landed in approx 2km from friendly lines and was captured. As silly as it sounds do you have to "open" your canopy after you land then disconnect? This would be beneficial in deciding whether or not to bail out or crash land. 

 

Thanks,

This should be in Single Player Career as well.

You get captured always when you are behind the red line even few meters.

That's the thing, the WoL server uses an algorithm, I bailed out 30km from friendly lines and I was not captured.

I believe it may depend on which mission is played.

I just opened a random WoL mission in the editor (battle of the caucasus) and the German and Russian influence areas (which determines the captured status) were dead on the frontline. There is no randomness settings for it so if you bail out, you will automatically be captured. 

 

So my guess is that the time you weren't captured was on an older mission where Gagarin didn't put these influence areas. Or maybe set them far back behind the frontline.

There is one thing to be captured in-game, another for being captured in the website statistics. The two can sometimes be different outcomes.

Ah that makes sense thanks Gruber! 

 

tripwire, Yeah i noticed that too. In game says captured, WoL says differently. 

 

Its nice to know how it works.

I believe for the WOL stats. your rank can determine your escape chance. I think its something like 5% chance you escape at the lowest level, up to like 20% for the highest ranks.

I dont think rank determines your escape chance ?  i could be wrong ?   anyway i like the idea and it should be a thing.

I would imagine it got taken down for some variety of s**t slinging.  Probably nothing more than the heathens that are unable to control themselves. Nothing to see here...

All things point to us being apes with less hair.
