The attackers attack.. Why do I still lose? I added the attack up and it's about 10k less than my defense.. They have more mob members... That's about it.

Get more weapons since you got a big mob you have to get melee ,weapon and the other of the three types to really defend

I have maxed melee, steel toe shoes. Body armor. As well as ak 47s plus assorted big guns. Is there some reason why in still losing with a Bigger defense than my attacker? I added most of his attack up and at most it's 140k my defense is over 150k...

30% rule is kicking in. You need to have 30% difference to guarantee every fight.

Your target may have armor piercing ammo in their inventory. Don't forget it adds 10% to your attack AND defense.
Once again, this is a good time to post the link to captain satans star calculator

Enter in ALL of your targets details to get a more accurate picture of where you stand. And I would probably have to agree with the above mentioned details. You have to be significantly more powerful to guarantee winning a battle.

Thanks to Mystery for first putting me on to this calculator. Top stuff

Also have a question about this some guy has been attacking me lately he's lvl 60s and I'm 20s I lost 3 of my turfs already now he's trying to attack again but loosing, is there a percentage where my defense is higher if I have less turfs to defend?

No.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just needed to ask...
So if you're trying to attack/cap someone, you're looking for your attack total to be 30% greater than their defense? And therefore your defense and your opponent's attack is irrelevant until they try attacking you?
Or is your attack on a given player going to be some combination of your attack+defense against his?

If you are attacking a player, you are only comparing your attack to his defense - your defense is irrelevant. If you are being attacked, you are comparing your defense to their attack - your attack is irrelevant.

Not a dumb question at all, I was looking for the same clarification. Thanks. :)

Haha thanks... Well in that case, I have a follow-up question. :)
Since grenades have stronger attack but weaker defense than galesis... If you stock up one of each type for your mob, do grenades get used when you attack while galesis get used when you defend?

Yes
