I guess it doesn't technically count as damage because a sheild is blocking the damage

Why shoot directly at a shield? Run behind, slip to the side, dodge bob and weave and when able shoot the bot in the back end! The ole arse shot! Two thing will occur, One is Damage Points, Second is the threat would be eliminated! SCORE!

Need some help on this, please: How do you know that damage to shields will not count? I checked the War Robots Wiki, the WAr Robots FAQ and did a forum search, but could not find anything that would tell me so. Thanks. |

Because my total damage stat at the end of a (typically losing) match is really low for me if I'm stupid enough to pound on shields for the whole match. I'm not being snarky, that's the PTSD speaking  It's not officially cannonized anywhere that I know of, but it became obvious to me in combat experience. |

I believe that Pixonic confirmed the fact that shields do not count towards your total damage count during the Developers vs Players stream.

People would be able to get a whole lot more damage added to their scores if shooting shields counted as damage  |

It's a bunch of tree huggin hippie crap! I was always under the assumption that shooting at hard point (non-ancile) shields counted towards damage. No wonder my damage has sucked lately!! Working with all lvl 10+ bots and weapons and can't break that million point!

But yeah, physical shields are part of the bot... in my mind they should count something... even if only half value. It's basically an HP extension. Ancile shields, since they regen, wouldn't make sense, of course. But Physicals, yeah they should. |

Need some help on this, please: How do you know that damage to shields will not count? I checked the War Robots Wiki, the WAr Robots FAQ and did a forum search, but could not find anything that would tell me so. Thanks. I played a match the other night. It was on Springfield and over far too quickly. I managed to capture the 3 beacons in the farm side without firing a shot. Died to a sniper. Respawned in my Hydra/Spiral Griffin. Locked on to the closest bot. It was a Carnage. Emptied my weapons but did not break his energy shield. I saw the red indicating a hit. I saw the shield dip but no damage to the bot. The carnage crushed me before I could reload. I was stupid for charging. The match ended after I respawn but before I could get a shot off. My damage for the match was 0. So yes, damage done to shields (at least energy) does not count. As for why...to prevent exploits. Imagine 2 Fujins on opposite teams. They walk off to a corner of the map. They shield up, point each other with rockets till the shield almost drops. They let the shield recharge and repeat. If shield damage counted, they would score to be of damage yet receive none. They would make a ton of silver no matter who won and we would all be complaining about Fujin farmers. |

I think damage should be counted if hitting physical shield. Its part of a bot which has hp.

I have been doing some testing and check out the images on this thread: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/5271/calling-all-tankers-helpNow what I didn't mention on that thread was that on the first 2 images the targets were a boa and a griffin I believe. The third was actually 2 shots. 1 was a Lv 6 Tasha and a L10 Galahad on the shield. I think damage to physical shields don't register on the finally tally but do generate silver. I need more data to test this theory. If you are curious and interested in helping me the details on the thread I mentioned. |

I think damage should be counted if hitting physical shield. Its part of a bot which has hp. Then the HP of the shield should be visual. Like energy shields, but maybe yellow. |

Agreed... that is another aspect that has been said before. You can see the Ancile... you can see the HP, why not the Physical shield HP? |

I think its a bit of problem, Why? Say you hold a beacon, you have a Galahad, hold the beacon against say against a gary and another Galahad, I know I,m going to lose, hope help arrives? scoring zero damage, just firing against shields. so, my side wins, I get zero gold, I gain cups, harder players next match. Better to run, just give them the beacon save the Bot. No incentive to save the beacon. This is another argument for gold to be divided between all players of the winning team.

You may be getting silver for that shield damage but it is just not registering at the end of the game at least for physical shields. |
