Battle stats

Why can't I get the accuracy bonus in any of the matches?? =SS
If I hit the ground once, the accuracy stats drops too much!
Sometimes it's great for the game you make holes to throw the worms into it...but even if I shoot a bazooka from the other side of the screen and hit the enemy worm in the middle of his head, I couldn't even get a little bit of it..
And even making more land damage too I couldn't get the bonus u.u
What's going on with those stats???

well the land damage kinda counteracts the accuracy stat I reckon, if you miss and damage the land you may get that bonus instead of accuracy, but it depends on your opponents weapons and accuracy to, dropping a grenade next to a worm is just as accurate as hitting one from the other side of the island it seems

[cyph3r]

The accuracy statistic is a count for how accurate each explosion is (i.e. how close each explosion was to a worm - 100% for dead-on centre, 0% for a complete miss or hitting one of your own worms). This is averaged over the total explosions to calculate the total accuracy.

Does this make sense? If you still think the accuracy is broken then please reply again and I will have a further look into it.

As Dingo said:

That bothers me...
I do a great shot from the other side of the island and hit the worm in the head..and the other player come close and drop a grenade near my worm, doing 100% of damage too.. he get's the prize for accuracy...
Maybe you could get more value for the accuracy shots from long range and lower for the short ones..maybe it could be more acceptable, from my view point..
The other thing that I noticed: I throw several banana bombs during a game, and it make my accuracy drop,,but my land damage do not rise!
To get a big land damage I need to throw HHG instead of BB ;/
before the last two updates I was able to get all the bonuses from a battle against the AI, nowadays it's impossible to get even 2 of the then [can only reach the worm damage] ;/

Well the Accuracy and Land damage calculations haven't changed since we started the closed beta. As for the Banana Bomb doing less Land Damage, that's just the way that that weapon has been set up. Any weapon which shoots out clusters will heavily reduce your accuracy as it causes multiple explosions and they're unlikely to all hit an enemy worm.

I guess it's a decision for you to make if the worm damage that the Banana Bomb is worth the potential drop in accuracy or not.

except the first incarnation of a cluster bomb (a very easy 100-hp kill trick) which has been fixed
