[NES version, Bank 1]

Name: KWH% [Show more] Type: Variable Category: Status Summary: Integer number of kills awarded for destroying each type of ship
Context: See this variable in context in the source code References: This variable is used as follows: * IncreaseTally uses KWH%

This figure contains the integer part of the points that are added to the combat rank in TALLY when destroying a ship of this type. This is different to the original BBC Micro versions, where you always get a single combat point for everything you kill; in the Master version, it's more sophisticated. The fractional part is stored in the KWL% table. Note that in the NES version, the kill count is doubled before it is added to the kill tally.
