This is most likely the most frequent topic for any newcomer to ask.
I am currently sailing with my Chester and for the first time I get to have a dilemma between HE or AP.
Thing is if I use 100% HE during a match I tend to do a lot better kill and total damage vise then when I try to use AP (even situationally).
I get that AP is only effective when: You are closer than 10 km, enemy broad side on and not shooting at a destroyer.
Problem is that 90% of my shots shatter, 9% over-penetrate and maybe 1% does any real damage. The thing is that even with that damage I do as much as with HE. Except AP is less reliable.
Am I missing something here?
P.s- I statistically did more citadel hits with my HE than with AP.
