No. Are you grabbing someone with high DR or something? Or are you massively oversending jets?

half a million jets to get ~300 acres? not worth it like latc said.

It depends. Are u grabbing or being grabbed? If you're attacked for 281A the attacker could get 600+ land. Which would make it a little bit better, but still not really worth it. Some people make grabs that really aren't worth it only because they are running out of targets and don't want to break someone's gdi.

So losing so many jets may be worth it to the person attacking. Might get better land, but have to risk missiles to do it.

I've run into this myself this round. Made a few grabs not really worth it so as not to risk missiles from easier to grab countries.

dr = diminished returns aka if country has been attacked 3 or more times next attack gives less land than it would give if no dr and dr increases until gains are 10 (20 if decced war) acres.

if you are retalling grab then go for it, you should get twice as much as you lost back unless attacker is landthin or in dr.

Diminishing returns. Once a person gets attacked 3 times the fourth attack suffers diminishing returns meaning it will only yield 80% of the normal amount of land. As dr get larger say 10 you'll only get approximately 10% of what you would have gotten. Meaning a 300(600) attack with no dr. would get you closer to 30(30) with a 10 dr.

Dr wears off 24 hrs after the attack happens. Or if you make an ss or ps.

even a country that got hit once within a 24 hours period will yield lesser land than a country that has never been hit in that 24 hours
