Me and a mate in a division, me in a Nagato, him in a Fuso, both have 28 direct hits. He gets over 20k more damage than me, I have the better shells for damage supposedly haha

My bad, must have clicked the Fuso, so yeah 410mm guns - but then the Amagi has the same 410mm gun yet can clobber me. I understand inaccuracy, much of the salvo will miss its target, but these are actual hits, doing like 200 damage, to an Amagi. Could I be over-penetrating him, after all more than 50% of the shots are penetrating, and he has a max of 254mm armour. But I can't see that being the case as how can I, in the following game hit an Aoba from similar range for nearly 18k, when he has a maximum of 76mm armour. So Aoba, 76mm armour, point blank with 8 x 410mm shells = 18,000 damage. Amagi, 254mm armour, point blank with 4 x 410mm shells = 900 damage It's not like I am not penetrating the Amagi, the detail log says I am penetrating over 50% of my shots. But why does it seem to refuse to do damage to it, it wasn't even like it was one battle, it was 2 battles in a row, and both cases were against an Amagi.

Lol next battle, point blank range to an Amagi, fired my rear guns, 4 direct hits from around 4km, 900 damage.........wtf My secondary guns were doing more damage to him than my main guns lol This time 18 direct 10 pen 19k damage - go me - 6k of that damage was from 2 shells hitting a pensacola, the rest were on the amagi So 13k damage from 16 shells.

Well when my Nagato is only doing 700 damage from 3 shell hits on an Amagi, I would say something is up. And its far from over penetration. Overall it was 27k damage. 26 direct hits 18 penetrations. One salvo which had 4 direct hits, did just over 13k damage Another salvo which had 3 direct hits, did 7k damage So that left 7k damage 19 direct hits So the other 19 direct hits averaged approximately 368 damage per shell. A pensacola then turns up, and in his first two salvo hits me for around 15k So basically my 360mm guns using AP against a higher tier BB, is pointless. Would have been better off sticking with HE and leaving the fires do the work. I don't believe its an issue with over pen, I think its something else, the nagato is a very good ship to play, I am enjoying it. but every once in a while it will have an absolute stinker of a game where no matter how many shells hit, you aint doing anything.

Oh I wasn't saying you were wrong, just that it annoyed me last game

Yet they seem to be able to see you. Had a destroyer and light cruiser less than 2km in front of me firing guns, torpedoes at me, yet I seen nothing. If they are in smoke and I cannot see them, fair enough, but how when they are in that same smoke, they can see me? Its smoke, you swear its that glass they use in police stations, the 1 way glass.
