Yeah, I should have made it clear I was talking about the player as attacker. And I agree with Katank that rams seem to burn a lot easier when they're controlled by the player, vs. the player trying to burn an attacker's ram. There might be some bias written into the the code to make it harder for the player in both cases, to compensate for a somewhat weak AI.
