:: smeekileaks :: War Surplus Analysis

Day 2,500, 02:58 Published in Argentina Thailand by deleted smee
Goodmorning eRepublikans,

Today, despite the objections of some players, I will publicize the analysis of the war surplus packs based on my own hit. My Q7 hit is currently 114,950 without NE bonus and without a damage booster. Whenever I tank I always turn on a 50% booster or even a 100% booster which I still have a few left. I will compare the cost of the War Surplus pack versus what damage I would do if I bought energy bars.

5 Gold Pack
The pack will give me total 6,799,020 damage with 3 bombs and 1 double energy bar.
5 Gold worth of energy bars with a 50% booster will give me 6,315,989, so basically the same damage.

In this instance I will not buy the pack.

25 Gold Pack
The pack will give me total 35,000,000 damage with the bombs.
25 Gold worth of energy bars with 50% booster will give me 34,485,300, so basically the same damage.

In this instance I will not buy the pack.

50 Gold Pack
The pack will give me total 55,000,000 damage with the bombs.
50 Gold worth of energy bars with 50% booster will give me 63,159,890, so if I buy energy bars I will get more damage. If I use a 100% booster I will get 84,213,185 damage.

In this instance I will not buy the pack.

100 Gold Pack
The pack will give me total 200,000,000 damage with the bombs.
100 Gold worth of energy bars with 50% booster will give me 126,319,780. If I use a 100% booster I will get 168,426,373 damage.

The pack also gives you a 100% booster.

In this instance I bought the pack because it will give me additional damage, I also saved a 100% booster that I would have used and I also gained another 100% booster (so I am +2 100% boosters).

250 Gold Pack
Now this is the important pack.
The pack will give me total 750,000,000 damage with the bombs.
250 Gold worth of energy bars with 50% booster will give me 315,799,450. If I use a 100% booster I will get 421,065,934 damage.

The pack also gives you four 100% boosters and these 100% boosters are the most valuable item in the game today because you can not buy them with gold or euros. (You win maximum 1 per day in the powerspin, but that is a different story).

Also the first time you buy this pack, it gives +20 wellness for 5 days, this is 2400 extra prestige points. For me these extra prestige points will get me 75 extra energy bars which I would have bought otherwise with gold, a value of 102 gold. So this pack is 250 gold - 102 gold = 148 gold.

Also, if you drop all the bombs with 40cc CO, you will get back 150 gold from the CO.

In this instance I will definately buy this pack because it will give me additional damage and four 100% boosters.

Bombs also have the benefit of being able to lay down a huge amount of damage in a very short timeframe. However, bombs have some detriments, such as:

- they can expire in 30 days. You have to get new bombs to extend their lifetime.
- the longer you keep bombs in stock the less they are worth because your hit continuously increases but bombs always stay the same.
- bombs do not provide you with rank.
- the damage from bombs do not count towards your total in tournaments.

Personally I bought all three big packs because I will make it rain in a few battles.

As a side note, do not estimate that you will make your money back on the days where there will be x10 BH. Trust me, those days will be insane.

I wish you all liquor & whores,
smee again

p.s. The big pack is calld the "4th of July arsenal". My suggestion for "250 small bombs+big bombs" was received on the 4th of July. Coincidence?
