The mod tracks all players' damage in battle

[Veyder1]

I heard recently that there is supposedly a new mod or way to see how much damage each division member did in a clan battle. Can anyone suggest which mod this is or how to check this?

So, as I learned from the creator, the mod does exist, but it was created exclusively for the KOTS tournament and was given only to streamers. However, as is often the case, it’s no longer just the streamers who have it...

Very interesting.  🙂

Welcome to the forum @Veyder1. As for the existence of such a mod, I'm not surprised. Consider the following:

• There are already mods that track remaining HP -although shown as bars of equal length, so relative health- of all ships during battle. AFAIK, the bars are updated whenever a change happens as long as the ship is spotted.
• The detailed post-battle results show what damage you dealt to whom and by which method -the same with damage done to you-, so the info should certainly be to an extent available to all.

Combine both elements and voilà, knowing who did what in "real" time and having a log of it becomes possible. It's understandable that such a tool would be given first to commentators/streamers, and it's also within reason that it would end up leaking to the general public sooner or later. What utility does it provide to a normal player, though? IMO, not much, could be even detrimental:

• First of all, unlike just using normal HP tracker mods, it'll give information overload in the heat of the action. Commentators are just looking around so the don't also have to deal with sailing, shooting, checking the minimap, keeping an eye on consumables' cooldowns...
• Secondly, it'll reinforce the blame game, in this case related to damage dealing: more accusations of killstealing, more "useless DDs/BBs/whatever" in chat due to perceived poor performance...

And that's just what I could think of without delving into it.

Salute.

This was my first thought.
