Greetings once more, cadets.

 

Your efforts to determine the answers have proven valiant indeed.

 

Once more, however, only those that have stricken closest to the mark will receive their due credit.

 

 

 

Well done to these particularly intelligent tankers.

 

Question 1

Due to Firebird statistics being removed altogether, this question cannot be properly answered. Any reasonable response will earn 3,000 crystals.

Not applicable. Sorry for the mix up, enjoy your free crystals.

 

Question 2

1st (25,000): bluedragon_tamki

2nd (16,000): Slyl_Tanker

3rd (9,000): @Makuta

 

Question 2

Tank4

Mammoth M3 (48/50)

Ricochet M3 (37/50)

Badger T-B M3 (12/15)

81% maximum health

100% weapon charge

No supplies active

No alterations active

 

Tank4 begins firing at a perpendicular and flat wall exactly 30m away. The projectile will bounce off of the wall and return directly to Tank4. Determine how much health Tank4 will have remaining if it fires a single shot every 1.5 seconds for a full minute, starting from 0:00:00:000.

 

TZTC's Notes: Make sure to check the minimum damage range of Ricochet.

________________________________________________________________

=KEY=

 

h = health

R = Ricochet resistance

rmax = range of max damage

rmin = range of minimum damage

m = meters

s = shot

t = time in seconds

e = energy

________________________________________________________________

 

Mammoth M3 (48/50) = 3975.06h

Mammoth M3 (48/50) at 81% = 3219.7986h

 

Badger T-B M3 (12/15) = 0.47R

 

Distance from Tank4 to wall: 30m

Distance from Tank4 to wall to Tank4: 30m(2)

30m(2) = 60m

Distance from Tank4 to wall to Tank4: 60m

 

Ricochet M3 (37/50) min dam at 0m = -287.76h

Ricochet M3 (37/50) max dam at 0m = -384.09h

 

Ricochet M3 (0/50) rmin = 92.94m

Ricochet M3 (50/50) rmin = 100m

100m - 92.94m = 7.06m

7.06m / 50 = 0.1412m

0.1412m (37) = 5.2244m

5.2244m + 92.94m = 98.1644m

Ricochet M3 (37/50) rmin = 98.1644m

 

Ricochet M3 (0/50) rmax = 55.29m

Ricochet M3 (50/50) rmax = 60m

60m - 55.29m = 4.71m

4.71m / 50 = 0.0942m

0.0942m(37) = 3.4854m

3.4854m + 55.29m = 58.7754m

Ricochet M3 (37/50) rmax = 58.7754m

 

Ricochet damage percentange rmin = 25%

 

Ricochet M3 (37/50) min dam at rmin = -287.76h / 4

-287.76h / 4 = -71.94h

Ricochet M3 (37/50) min dam at rmin = -71.94h

 

Ricochet M3 (37/50) max dam at rmin = -384.09h / 4

-384.09h / 4 = -96.0225

Ricochet M3 (37/50) max dam at rmin = -96.0225h

 

Ricochet M3 (37/50) min damage at rmax = -287.76h

Ricochet M3 (37/50) max damage at rmax = -384.09h

Ricochet M3 (37/50) rmax = 58.7754m

Ricochet M3 (37/50) rmin = 98.1644m

60m - 58.7754m = 1.2246m

98.7754m - 58.7754m = 40m

1.2246m / 40m = 0.03615

3.615%

 

Ricochet M3 (37/50) min rmax dam - rmin dam = -287.76h - -71.94h

-287.76h - 71.94h = -215.82h

Ricochet M3 (37/50) min rmax dam - rmin dam = -215.82h

-215.82h(0.03615) = -6.830703h

-287.76h - -6.8370703h = -280.9229297h

Ricochet M3 (37/50) min dam at 60m = -280.9229297h

 

Ricochet M3 (37/50) max rmax dam - rmin dam = -384.09h - -96.0225h

-384.09h - -96.0225h = -288.0675h

Ricochet M3 (37/50) max rmax dam - rmin dam = -288.0675h

-288.0675h(0.03615) = -10.41364013h

-384.09h - -10.41364013h = -373.6765067h

Ricochet M3 (37/50) max dam at 60m = -373.6765067h

 

Rate at which Tank4's Ricochet fires one shot = 1s /1.5t

Ricochet energy restored per second = 83.33e / t

83.33e(1.5) = 124.995e

Ricochet energy restored per 1.5 seconds = 124.995e

 

Ricochet M3 (0/50) energy consumed per shot = 114.53e / s

Ricochet M3 (50/50) energy consumed per shot = 111e / s

 

(We can infer here that if Ricochet fires every 1.5 seconds, the net energy level will not drop over time.)

 

Ricochet shots per minute (if s/1.5t) = 40

 

-280.9229297h(40) = -11236.91719h

-11236.91719h(0.47) = -5281.351078h

-11236.91719h - -5281.3519078h = -5955.565282h

-5955.565282h > 3219.7986h

 

From this, we can infer that Tank4 will not survive for a full minute, even if every shot had remained at minimum damage. The answer would be 0.

 

Question 3

Since the values for the distance were not labeled properly, along with acceleration, this would be impossible to answer correctly. All participants with reasonable answers will receive 5,000 crystals.

 

No longer applicable.

 

 

 

Congratulations are in order for these fine tankers. It's evident that their problem solving skills are second to none in comparison to their peers. May this remain so for the remainder of their careers, wherever and whatever those might be.

 

Until next time, cadets.

Question 2

1st (25,000): bluedragon_tamki

2nd (16,000): Slyl_Tanker

3rd (9,000): @Makuta

The only other correct entrant was yourself, following behind these three.

[saurabhmann 509]

How much did I win?

[TheZigzagoonThatCan 678]

How much did I win?

Since you had reasonable responses fr 1 and 3, you received 8,000.

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

I don't think I receive 25k because I checked every time and I never went up by 25k (not even at 45 or 46k, I'm at 29k and before the results I had 22k and I kept playing)

Where's my prize?
