Annoying UI Bug That Everyone Knows About...

I wanted to say something stupid like are you sure about that but then I caught your post count out of the corner of my eye. OK... All my CB troops have 50 hp. I rarely use heavier troops. I nearly never see significant damage to the slot 2 or 3 troops. I might even have a log of the damage sustained over dozens of troop drops. I'll go look for it.

Right, but it is not the hitpoints of individual troops that matters:

5000 x 50 = 250k hp worth of light infantry.
800 x 50 = 40k hp worth of heavy infantry.

Thusly you should expect the light infantry to absorb about 5/6ths of the damage because they have 5/6ths of the total hitpoints.

Which would be exactly what you would expect except you got the figures backwards.

800 light infantry x 50hp = 40K hp of light infantry
5000 heavy infantry x 50hp = 250k hp worth of heavy infantry

Light infantry are in slot 1 and absorb the majority of the damage. Transports are all loaded with 100 light infantry in slot one and the rest heavy in slot 2.
