And it may not. If it doesn't you fall behind in damage potential. Aside from missing and shattering, which applies to HE shells as well, you are guaranteed damage with AP shells. So HE shells have an extra layer of RNG without which they are far inferior in performance, making them less reliable than AP. What Dallas does is irrelevant, even more so when in the training room. Cruisers have no choice but to spam HE as their AP is situational at best. With BBs AP shells are the superior choice in almost every situation. If you'd give cruisers the same AP performance as BBs, no one would bother with HE.

Your number one mistake is playing a Kagero. If you wanna play a high tier torp boat, play Fletcher instead. I'm not even joking.

Well, you know what they say. War is 10% action and 90% boredom. WoWs is just trying for realism here.

Btw, isn't the new event supposed to start late August? Well, isn't it pretty late August now?

Campbeltown and Nassau + St. Louis were found in bags given to everyone who played (same as every year I believe). Other codes were thrown into the crowd or given to people who played on stage. And there were a lot of codes being thrown around. Personally me and my collegues just traded some goodies with @MrConway and other WG staff, so I got a hold on all codes without having to brave the masses. Being an exhibitor at gamescom is hilarious in that regard, I got so much free stuff I was almost incapable of bringing it all back without buying an extra trunk. Including the Lego Blyskawica I always wanted, now proudly decorating one of my shelves. :D

Barbettes are nowadays considered part of the turret. Used to be part of the citadel a long time ago I believe. Here's what actually happens (spoilered for length):

That Kitakaze thought he has dakka. I made him rethink his position.

Except that again, it needs to cause fires. Otherwise you fall behind in terms of damage potential. That's more RNG than with simple overpens even considering BB accuracy.

Enterprise is the only ship for which you can currently buy the AL camo. According to Crysantos someone flipped a switch too early.

I was thinking of this

So? Fires need to burn for several minutes to do the damage of two overpen salvos. Shooting the superstructure will always get you at least that. And if you don't get a fire, your salvo was a complete waste. Hardly reliable compared to just aiming for overpen damage with the occasional pen thrown in there.

Encountered a Stalingrad today. Shredded all my planes with DFAA. Shredded all my planes without DFAA. Stalingrad sure is weak to planes. Queue earrape Soviet Anthem please.

Modules that have been destroyed cease to exist, so they cannot catch shells anymore after their HP has been reduced to 0. AA guns have like 100 HP. It's literally impossible to hit one and not destroy it. Sigma buffs, dispersion buffs, upgrade buffs, I'm pretty sure we've seen it all. Sure, certain lines are "shafted" in terms of accuracy (though not really as huge dispersion helps misaiming potatoes hit), but as a whole BBs are more accurate than they ever were before. IJN guns are the most accurate BB guns above ~14km if I remember correctly, USN guns with the special upgrade are the most accurate BB guns within that distance. I still have no idea what you're talking about.

Nah, bought a new dress for my waifu. Taking her out to dinner. Potatoes are delicious.when served the right way.

BBs are far more accurate nowadays than they've ever been in the past. What are you even on?

I don't disagree, but BBs also have the highest practical damage potential to "compensate". Penetration mechanics in general could use some work, tho. Not that that'll ever happen, the game is already far too complicated for the average player.

It's probably less noticeable in cruisers due to higher accuracy and rof. Let me assure you that it does happen to every other class as well, even CVs (with bombs, torps obviously are unaffected). You can go check it yourself in the training room if you'd like. Or wait a few minutes for me to do it.

Because this is not a simulator.

MODULE DAMAGE. For example if you hit an AA gun that AA gun gets destroyed, but your shell also gets "eaten" by it. The game will show this as a penetration but you will inflict no damage. That applies to literally every external module, aka guns, torpedo launchers and AA guns. It has been this way since forever. You can try this in the training room if you don't believe me.

And you have clearly been the epitome of politeness while whining about evil, evil HE spam. You are such a joke.

So knowing about damage saturation and HE penetration is now elitist. @Mandalorianer ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US! And btw, 0 damage penetrations are not bugs. They're module damage. They happen with HE, too.

I see HE penetration and damage saturation are lost on you.

Pretty sure @MrConway is on vacation after gamescom. And trust me, he needs it. @Crysantos has been very active in his stead. Maybe he can shed some light on this.

The following ships were given out for free at gamescom. Plenty of them, too: - Tirpitz + Atlanta - Scharnhorst + Giulio Cesare - König Albert - Campbeltown - invite codes with Nassau + St. Louis and Oleg So yeah, doesn't matter what tier you play, potatoes will haunt you. On the bright side, I've scored more citadels with AP bombs in the last two days than I did with any other class in the past month.

Nope. Not that I know of. Will still eat a fair amount of penetration damage, but HE bombs are superior in that regard.
