The Force Calculator
'The Cobra File' now implements a user friendly, easy to use and powerful Force Calculator. It can be quite accurate and beats any presence chart any time since it uses the actual unit stats and the actual presence data for the calculation.
Instructions for the 'Easy Calculator'Send a reasonable amount of scouts to a location or mission, the more, the better the accuracy. When you get the report, look for the most numerous ZHG unit type and note how many of how many of that type you killed. Enter these three numbers into the 'Easy Calculator'. You can also set a security margin to avoid clearing the location by accident. Now it will give you a good estimate of how many units (of the scouting type) you will have to send.

Real Case Scenario for the 'Easy Calculator'
1. Scouting the mission
You send 10 Rangers as scouts to a COBRA mission and kill 5 of 107 Guerillas, which are the most numerous (s. screenshot 1). 2. Calculation of the necessary forces Enter 10, 5, 107 into the respective columns. Now you will get an estimate of how many Rangers you will have to send to clear the mission, in this case 204 (s. screenshot 2). 3. Clearing the mission The actual number necessary to clear the location was 203 (s. screenshot 3). That's an accuracy ratio of 99.5%. |
