Seems like a loop hole of some kind to me using armor to make it look like not weak chaff but its still doing the same damage distribution. Which is the point of the exploit.

The Standard cheat disclaimer is what people post to be allowed in the game. I always gathered that chaff, split fleet dodge, and merging to sfx after gating was the standard thing and everything else on the list was not allowed unless specified just like when people say chaff, split fleet dodge and merging to a sfx after gating is allowed.

From what I gather Instead of using for example five DD's he is using a frigate and a destroyer. Thats still only two different ships instead of 5 in one stack. It still seems like to me having the armored frigate first will take most damage and thus making only the DD take some damage minimizing the damage to prolong its life.

Im no number cruncher but as paul_ik says in the post above he is in fact making the frigate lasting an extra turn which I believe would allow an extra turn of sweeping with the DD.

So you guys are saying I could use a left over DD and pair it up with a CC or a dd with a BB to sweep to exploit the damage distributions. Also why stop there, a Frigate with a yak lazer paired with a dd because its not paired with simple chaff. No one puts yaks on chaff.

Micha;
"It's neither an abuse of the knowledge of damage allocation, if it was than using fleets of 5 ships "as usual" would be the same kind of abuse."

I am not seeing how that is the same thing when using 5 ships in same stack you don't have another ship first in the fleet to take damage so that the 5 ships take less.

Wait so what your saying is its not the way it actually distributes the difference in damage, that's the exploit it is just any normal scout or frigate without armor that has not enough armor in the first place to take full amount of damage. But you are allowed to use any ship so long as it has enough armor.I think that would be 125 armor? Though it doesn't specify this in the must know section which is even more confusing.

I sure hope to understand this more because I have not found enough information or description on the Mine Damage Dodge exploit and it seems I have different views than other players on the concept.
