How is Tie Fighter's ability to dodge calculated?My general observation is that a higher geared / powered / leveled pilot and ship will dodge more often Vs a lower level ship shooting at it. I've also seen that when Tie Fighter shoots a ship with counter attack, the counter seems to be dodged very often. I don't know if this observation is truly a game dynamic though. However dodge is explained as a chance %. Kind of implies a raw chance regardless of levels involved. Some ship attacks of course can't be dodged. And, target lock doesn't seem to change the dodge ability at all.

There is a level delta component for Potency checks(E.g. Target Lock) 5% difference to a maximum of 6 levels(30%). As for dodge, I have been informed that there is no level delta component.

Easy math here. If the Tie Fighter is controlled by the AI, there's a 95% chance it'll dodge. If the Tie Fighter is controlled by you, there's a 5% chance it'll dodge. Simple enough? ;-)

Opponent Tie Fighter: dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge. My Tie Fighter: hit, hit, hit, destroyed.

Easy solution - just leave tfp until last, then use Tarkin's special. Works every time.

Good luck with the other capital ships though!

I've lost matches this way, before I realized that several ships have un-dodgeable attacks. Use those instead.

Tfp dodge/deflection is 47%.
45% of the 47% comes from crew contribution

So yes a higher developed TFP will give his TF more dodge/deflection than lower developed one.

When you look at a ships stats the number in ( ) is the contribution from the crew member(s) which is affected by crew member(s) development and shops star level.

That's as believable as the raid escape mechanic having a 40% success rate. In the case of the Tie, it dodges way more than 47%, and in the case of escape it happens way less. I think the devs need to check their math.

My TFP dodges just as much as the cpu controlled team. There is a reason I use the scimitars special ability on it. Dodge, dodge, dodge and build up my capital ships turn meter.

I am just providing the numbers they give us. Not saying they are accurate.

Stealth Bistan basic is currently bugged, I see Dodged quite often, has been reported in Answers HQ and flagged for review.

It's bugged in that tfp will dodge but still take damage. The problem there is that the dodge is still feeding tm, but it'll still help take out the tfp.

i just realised that if youre opponents TIE keeps dodging and yours doesnt, its technically ok because it averages out to around 50% dodge chance

Classic :) You got a good laugh out of me, followed by a few tears .....
