ST, your example of an artillery attacking an armor, neither a veteran, favors the artillery about 74% of the time, not the 80% you predict. It is close, however. The artillery should win the battle 99% of the time.

I'll work on adding your other suggestions in the coming days. Thanks for the input.

It is a big difference. There must be an error in my or your computation...How did you get 74%?

Being pedantic perhaps but helicopters are air units which can be attacked by ground units (in my experience at least). I don't think this has been mentioned. Also, with the cheat that allows fighter units to end their turn out of cities and airbases, does anyone know if they can be attacked by ground units or does the need for a fighter to attack only apply to bombers?

Edit: Do fighters/bombers in airbases being overrun by enemy ground units or indeed air units behave as they would do if they were in a city?

EOL, good point about helicopters. I'll have to add the fighter situations to the tests needed. As far as I know, there has been no mention of fighters being caught in airbases in the compiled threads. From experience, I know they can definitely be attacked by naval and land units while stationed - with what bonuses I don't know.

ST, the 74% comes from the calculation of p, which I ran to compare to your formula. I meant "close" from the perspective of the player approximating his odds. 10% is not very close mathematically, of course.

74% and 80% must be different:

modified hit points are equal for both units with 80% (in the formula that counts P)
(This is main advantage of Xin Yu's formula: it sets modified hit points equal and so "p" reflects combat odds without a need of "P")

Bump

And a call for testers to iron out the remaining questions about how defensive bonuses apply in special situations. Post 1 has text in italics describing the needed tests.

1.7 Can't sea units attack inland land units if theyre in a city?

In an airbase or city.

Could be stacked anywhere except a city

Thanks for the clarifications, SilverDragon, they've been incorporated into Post 1.

Thanks, Ming, for deleting the vestigal posts...

It doesn't match my tests:

All this talk of units healing got me wondering if anyone knows how much units heal when they try to enter an allied city. What I mean is that if you try to move one of your units into a city of an ally a pop-up box with "The (enter ally civ name) have helped to repair our (enter unit name)."

EOL,
Test it.

Maybe in a couple of weeks, I'm trying to get myself a large set of 4000BC saves with lots of start techs at the moment to try and get some pre 1000AD landings .
