Seeing as how Lantern never did get convinced about the weirdness surrounding JUST playing with API, finally captured some of those weirdness. And yes, this was with PVP, but it's enough I think.
So, last PVP of the morning, and this was what happened:
Suffice to say I was NOT happy with what was happening, so I hit F5.
Just to double-check, the match was not counted, and the usual weirdness showed up, like my carriers despite having full fuel and ammo, did NOT have a full complement of planes (take note of the timestamp):
Okay, so go to PVP list. Match, take 2!
The results were slightly better this time:
Notice anything different this time? Yep, neither Mutsu or Kiso got nuked, and this time, it was Kaga and Nagato that did. Well that, and THEIR Akagi getting nuked by my planes.
Match still had to be decided by Night Battle:
Again, this time, Mutsu is still mostly untouched.
Post-PVP resupply. And after doing so, Kaga's plane list is back to normal.
So yeah, I do think that Klash is on to something, and that not everything is decided server side. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do this
everyday on my PVP.
