What should cruisers do instead of shooting HE?

Yes, they will be put into your inventory.

Detonations are predictable? Like showing your broadside and get punished? Or more like getting hit somewhere by a random shell and go to zero HP immediately? I've no problem if I get punished for screwing up. That's how it should be. Learning/improving from mistakes. But blowing up because of (bad) luck is a pretty poor mechanic to me.

There are a lot of ARP ships.

Even with those trades I'd say Salem is straight up better (I don't care about that plane at all). But she'll probably have better dispersion too.

Of those ships 12 destroyers 18 cruisers 16 battleships 4 carriers are premium ones (according to wows-numbers.com). I don't like that there will be three free-exp battleships (maybe even four, Musashi) soon, but not a single one of another class.

Who's expecting different results?

According to the wiki we have 74 destroyers (Pan-Asian already included) 97 cruisers 58 battleships 18 carriers in the game. I'm not saying these numbers are dead accurate, but they're pretty close. Funny thing is, at the tiers I play, there aren't many cruisers in the matches.

Now I understand. Yeah, the wording in their statement isn't very good.

But why do you think it's being tested in two configurations right now?

But I was, by saying ships using consumables they don't have are hackers? You implied cruisers are dealing more damage than battleships. And that's just wrong. Getting focused in a battleship should give you the same result (receiving heavy damage) as getting focused in a cruiser, in my opinion.

What two configurations do you mean?

But not in the matches.

But there it's probably 305 mm instead of 220 mm. She should also be even larger.

Source: wowsdevblog ST, American cruiser Salem, tier X Damage Control Party consumable cooldown is decreased from 90 to 60 seconds for option I and from 60 to 40 seconds for option II. These changes are designed to make the ship more comfortable to play. Patch 0.6.14, Pan-Asian destroyers Base torpedo launchers were added to the tiers from IV to IX. They are similar to the top launchers of the previous tiers. Torpedoes, that were installed on the ships already now become the top option, and need to be researched. Source: SEA group The following changes have been consolidated to version 0.6.13.1. Pan Asia Destroyer Smoke Generator on all PA DDs: Activation time reduced from 40 seconds to 30 seconds; smoke screen lifetime increased from 60 seconds to 70 seconds; reload time increased from 90/60 seconds to 120/80 seconds. Gadjah Mada's 2nd and 3rd turrets can now rotate 360°. Chung Mu and Yueyang can now mount Surveillance Radar mod.1 module, but Hsien Yang cannot. Huanghe Huanghe now has the Perth-version Smoke Generator consumable, replacing the Defensive AA Fire. The DevBlog wrote instead that "Smoke Generator is added as an alternative to the Defensive AA Fire slot to improve ship playability." Please discuss HERE

It isn't, asking it for the 19618975th time is. This topic triggers many people, as every day like ten threads regarding fire and HE damage are started, mainly by poor battleship commanders.

As the question, so the answer. Said ships don't have said consumables/ammunition, as @AgarwaenME already mentioned. Compare average damage of cruisers and battleships and get your mind blown. In addition to that, a much bigger amount of fire damage can be healed than AP damage mainly caused by battleships. Not that a lot of cruisers can use a heal... I'd like to hear how cruisers should harm battleships in your opinion, other than by HE/fire.

Chapayev and Atlanta smoke? Leander HE? Haxxors!

Okay thanks, never heard of that. Just found this in the wiki, must be quite new: I'm using those two mentioned flags too, but still never detonated then. Since I'm not a native speaker, am I getting this right, wiki says chance will go down to zero, no matter if one's using India X-Ray or Juliet Whiskey Unaone?

I'm getting the feeling my clan isn't German. Never tried recruiting in chat. Must watch out for the immigration agency...

Is that even possible? I don't think so. I run those signals on every destroyer, never got detonated while having it. Must be over 2,000 battles.

Shouldn't it be "nerf" in that case? I use to spread my torpedoes most of the time a little bit (the sets, no wide spread!^^). So I get hits on my targets with almost every salvo, but no devastating strikes. But yeah... at tier five... many captains are going in straight lines, so there's no need for that.

It's a destroyer mission. ;)

What ship(s) do you use? I'd suggest something with a fast torpedo reload, to stack floodings (Kamikaze, Z-46/52, Fletcher, Yugumo work for me). Or a hybrid, setting fires first, then send torpedoes (although many battleships will turn away when being shot by a destroyer). A division with a cruiser should help, too. I know, pretty obvious, but that's all I can pull out of my stern right now.
