I guess it is true either sub would only take 3 drillers damage but even after getting the sun down to 51 the laser still followed the sun with 51 (not sure if the laser changes when it shoots or when a new target is acquired)
However, if janitor is correct that changes my knowledge of sentries :p
OKA DOKEE! You are completely correct V3xt! A sentry does 5% of Subs driller count rounded up and calculates this . I have no idea where I got that idea that they go off initial driller count. Maybe a weird past experience dealing with Sentries...My bad for spreading false information!
But here is a super easy way to calculate how many drillers a sentry will take away and who it will target and when.
all about the 20's
Sub <or= to 20= -1
Sub <or= to 40= -2
Sub <or= to 60= -3
Sub <or= to 80= -4
As for your Case the sentry will only begin targeting another sub when it drops below a set of 20.
Example:
Say you have a sub with 41 and a sub with 42. Sentry smacks 42 down by three subs to 39. Since it will now only hit that sub for 2 now it will then target sub 41!
Hope this helps.
