Edited, probably correct. I was reading the sequence backwards.

[ATTACK #1] - Failed
Your military lost:
385 Troops
6587 Turrets
82 Tanks

Your ally lost:
9528 Troops
30,464 Turrets
1600 Tanks

The enemy lost:
37,280 Jets



[ATTACK#2] - Succeeded
Your military lost:
185 Troops
3167 Turrets
39 Tanks

Your ally lost:
4300 Troops
13,750 Turrets
722 Tanks

The enemy lost:
40,000 Jets

Did your ally exit a new DR tier between the first and second hit?

DR affects military losses (proportionally).

What about networth difference?

I think if the enemy bought up or sell down to be closer to your ally's networth, the losses in military might go up.

I'm not sure.

NW gap was probably closed, also only bottom feeds(in NW that is) are effective anymore =/

My apologies I had the attack sequence backwards up there. We first lost the bigger amount on the attack that failed. Then lost half that on the attack that succeeded. (I edited the first post to reflect this change.)

Both attacks were made from the same person, within a minute of each other and no other attacks were made on my ally. The first attack failed, the second attack succeeded.

Failed attacks generally kills more military than successful ones, we call them lemmings!

kills more based on the amount sent. you still have to come just short of breaking to get the best result
