Battering ram damage

[Dimler]

hey everyone. I am having trouble calculating the damage with the battering ram. if 4 people are using it what would the min str of each person have to be? i saw an earlier thread that was talking about this but it has different information than what is on the wiki.

The formula on the wiki is correct.

so do you have to have 36 str before or after the calculation? like if you have 4 people with 10 str each. before the calculation you have 40 str total but it comes out to 7.65 str after. so does that mean you do not have enough str, or that you do and only do 7 damage each time you hit it?

4 people with 36 str would be a soak of 24

The formula gives the amount of damage done by the ram. The ram doesn't add to strength, but adds damage (equivalent to a 400 str player). Each person does the square root of their strength in damage. If the total comes to more than 25, then you can do damage to the palisade. (4 players each at 10 str can use a ram on a palisade.)

I've no idea where this '36 strength' thing comes from other than that's what you need to use it solo.

4 people with 36 str each would be 24 + 20 or 44 damage with a ram. A palisade only has 25 soak meaning you do 19 damage a hit on a 2500 hp wall.

thanks for the info its very helpful. so its possible to do it with 4 people at 10 str its just going to take a long time.

3+3+3+3+20-25 = 7 Damage her tick. 2500/7 = 358 ticks needed so ~29 to 30 minutes?
