It acts in the class it's fighting, so if the enemy has no class1 it's doing it's mission
in the upper classes... That's the only way to gain points from it

No the first one is the english translation or discription of the battlesyntax.
You spammed this forum since May and you don't know that.
Or did you thought every ship fougt twice because it say fights and it has the f command. Or this ship self destructs twice

discription: fights
syntax: f

discription: modifies AP/LP by 0/-1100 of 2 ships of any ship-type in your own fleet in the same class
message: "kamikaze destroys ... ships"
syntax: mod,self,2,this,all,+,0,-1100,kamikaze destroys

discription: self destructs!
syntax: sd

Now understand it?

The Kamikaze is a very destructive ship but as with other Self destructing ships should be used with caution.

Due to it's immense fire power of 35ap as a class 1 ship the kamikaze is best used to fight against the higher classes ideally class 3 or 4, as most of these have higher lp than 35.

So the best use for them is to keep them in a secondary(or third) fleet and by themselves to be used after you have eliminated the enemy's class 1 and 2.

This due to the Self destuctive behavior of the ship.
For every enemy ship a Kamikaze attacks, it will destroy itself and a further 2 more random class 1 ships in your own fleet.
So it is strongly advised that you do not use this ship to fight in it's own class, as for every enemy class 1 you will destroy (+(1) point) you will lose 3 kamikaze (-3 points)

The kamikaze can be used against class 2, but with minimal postive results. Other class 1 ships can make a much more posative score for this job.


Here is an example of the profit of attacking class 3.

Quote:

your class 1 vs enemy class 3:
you:
200 kamikaze (35/1, 1 MP)
enemy:
14 cruisers (100/100, 60 MP)

42 kamikaze destroy 84 ships
42 kamikaze vs 14 cruisers

14 cruisers vs 14 kamikaze


losses:
you :
140 kamikaze
enemy :
14 cruisers

score in this subbattle: 700



So your calculation for this battle should be done as such :

14 (amount of cruisers) x 3 (kamikazes needed to destroy 1 cruiser)
42 x 3 (kamekazes self destructing per cruiser) destroyed)
+ 14 (amount of cruisers)
= 140

That is the construction of the calculation.
The sum fortunatly can be simplified to 14 x 10. (for cruisers)
for attacking other class 3/4 ships/buildings the calculation should be corrected accordingly.

You should always take a few extra kamikazes then calculated to compensate for the random battle order (who shoots first).

It's also a good idea to use Commando Fighters along with kamikazes as it will double their firepower to 70/1 when activated.


the best way to counter kamikaze is with C1 killers such as the Cyclops or the Spectre. Another way is simply to attack them with standard fighters.

the kamikaze should get the kill syntax instead of -1100LP. cause it should kill 2 of your ships in any case, no effect should counter this
