Damage clarification please?Greetings. I am new to the WAS game. Have been on the land game too long and well i need some clarification of Armor, Vital Armor, and Hull points.
Lets take the Fletcher, for an example.
ARMOR--3
VITAL ARMOR--7
HULL POINTS--2
Now i get that on an attack w/ a single unit, that if i hit on three, that is one hit and if i score a seven on a single attack, it is destroyed; BUT if the attacking unit should hit on say five or six hits, that would be 3 or 4 hits and wouldn't that exceed the hull points of 2, before reaching the Vital Armor stat of 7, or have i got this all miscombobulated???
Help this old tard Gents.

number of hits below armor value= nothing/miss
number of hits equal armor but below vital= one hit/one damage
number of hits equal or higher than vital = destroyed
aircrafts that would take one damage are aborted instead
aircrafts that would be vitaled are destroyed

As The_lucky_y said, if you were to have fix or six hits on a Fletcher, it would still only take one damage. Anything that is above armour but below vital armour is always one damage.

OK, , so just because there is 5 points between the ARMOR-3 and the Vital armor of seven it still only counts as one damage, or 1 hull points. So if two A/C attack it and the first hits 5, that is one damage point and the second hits on six die, that is still just one damage, but a cummalative of two damage points now, that would destroy it..CORRECT???

1st A/C - 5 successes = 1 damage/hull point
2nd A/C - 6 successes = 1 damage/hull point
Hull points remaining = 0; the ship is destroyed.

You got it SGT Waka  , it's a bit confusing when you are used to one game and then picking up the other

I think i was just making it harder that it should be. I just went through a 400 pt game this morning; Germany / UK. It made more sense this time. I'm still struggling with the A/C, damaged/aborted/destroyed scene but the more i play the more i understand from rereading the damn rules. It gets easier as i go and then my next land game i'll be utilizing crippled markers and trying to figure out how to abort a kubelwagon attack!
