How many town buildings down for WF?

so how many damage points when u land a bomber, i had 17,000 and not quite wf

I wfed a town 1x with (if i remember correctly) 18,062. Lusche's right that the damage points don't reliably indicate whether or not you're done enough damage to wf a town. That having been said, I try to use as few bombs to wf as possible so i'll have something left over for the next target, and the low 18,000s seem to do the trick.

Objects are numbered hexadecimal. So then .dt says "objects 0-71 are living" it's actually 114 buildings, not 72. 75% of that are 86 buildings.
Huge fields have 217 buildings (0-0D8), 75% of that is 163.

You are absolutely right.  I was counting decimal, when I should have been counting hexadecimal.  I forgot about that.  And I'm a computer geek, I should know better.  <embarrassed>

Doesn't it make more sense for WF to = >75% town down + all ack guns destroyed?  IMO WF should mean base ready for capture.

Well, "makes sense" or not, the flag is tied to buildings only.  Tis what it tis...  Adds to the challenge, and without challenge this wouldn't be as fun a game.

86 buildings for the regular size town.

 It's much easier to tell if the guns are up or down, than to count down buildings. Thus we have the white flag to tell us when enough buildings are down.
